I love Scandinavian sleaze music because, from heavy metal to industrial and in between, they do it so un-ironically. In Red, the first single from the newest 69 Eyes release, the band gives it their intense rock star all to good effect. Red has all the essentials from the vital rock star video shopping list: [...]
Back when Spin was new and fresh and a little punk rock, Legs McNeil wrote rock journalism for it which was so good it convinced me I should totally do rock journalism when I grew up. (Hmm, maybe I should hold this against him.) At any rate, Legs McNeil is going to be doing readings [...]
Marilyn Manson just release his latest video Slo-Mo-Tion off Born Villain, and although it’s certainly no Floria Sigismondi, it does manage to be stylish and convey a certain debaucherous and empty mood. The video as a whole really reminds me of parties I don’t go to anymore, I mean there is only so many times [...]
Our friends Ego Likeness have just released a really beautifully creepy new video for ‘Treacherous Thing’ that is worth checking out. Kyle Cassidy captured a lot of the essence and mood of Ego Likeness that I enjoy so much. Donna Lynch looks and sounds fantastic and I don’t think I’ve ever seen Steven Archer sit [...]
Billy Corgan just gave a really interesting interview on Alex Jones’ Infowars show where he talked about the dissonance some people are experiencing as they face the societal illusions being propagated by current Government entities and mainstream media, versus their own intuitive interpretation of the world they live in. His new album is titled Oceania, [...]
This music video from 16 Volt is really poignant, which is very fitting for such a melancholy song. I like that they explain the story behind their art here with the video. I also like that the video tells the same story as the song, instead of some weird unrelated visuals like too many music [...]
I posted this update about editing the film to our California Deathrock book Kickstarter pages and I wanted to share it here too. I eventually did find the needed art pencils. They were in a pencil drawer, along with an inexplicable neurological pinwheel. Forrest and I are getting ready to start going through contact sheets [...]
So I live in the heart of Hollywood. Any night of the week could be my Saturday, so occasionally Saturday is my sleepy day. I have a lot to do tomorrow. (Like watch the last Game of Thrones of the season.) So I went to bed nice and early. I was awakened by music shaking [...]
The Kickstarter Forrest Black and I are doing for our California Deathrock book is happily now 111% funded. This means the project is definitely going to be completed. If we break $2,200 then we will be able to make the book hardcover and a teeny bit longer. It is looking pretty good for hitting that [...]
