MUSIC NOTES
- "Being the girl in a country song, how in the world did it go so wrong?"
- "Bad Animals" is not only a terrible Heart album, it's also a terrible name for said terrible album considering it includes the songs "Alone" and "Strangers Of The HEART," both of which would have better titles
- Big ups to Kasey Clark from Tidemouth/Dogs/Shady Characters for including the EP my brother and I recorded in his 'best EPs of the year' list; that was a very special project for us and it's nice to see it was appreciated http://endofthesummer.bandcamp.com/album/living-situations
- I can't believe I listened to 2 RHCP albums in a single day, for shame...
- Favorite "new finds" of the month: see through buildings, The 1975, Antischism, Second Guess, Benoit & Sergio, Cruelty Code, The Babies, Spectral Wound, Shit Giver
- Worst of the month: Fighting Friction, Morgue, Izzy & The Chimera, Deep Sea Divas, Hunt The Elite
- New releases from Bomba Estereo, Abigail Williams, Ghost Noise, Shit Giver, inthebackground, Sleeping Cranes, and Shojo Winter are all on-point
- Man I forgot how totally badass "Fear of a Black Planet" is, one of the few albums that indisputably deserves its status as a classic
- "Perpendicular to the square"
- Although I liked The Babies its kinda lame they either didn't know there was a 70s band called The Babys or they just didn't care
- I'm sure Obituary didn't name their new album "Inked In Blood" to commemorate the mid-2000s metalcore band but is an odd coincidence
- "I guess I just wasn't made for these times"
- Rammstein.
- Was that food-based R. Kelly album supposed to be funny? Because it is.
- I like Zwan so much more now than I did when they came out and now I wish they had made more than just the one
- R.I.P. Lemmy. Rock n roll will never die.
- I wrote a review of that Yoji CD check it out http://youshouldneverhaveopenedthatdoor.blogspot.com/2015/12/album-mini-review-yoji-biomehanika.html
- "We express ourselves in loud and fashionable ways"
- "War Party" is the best Gwar album by far
- Those girls in Hinds are hella cute but their songs are kinda forgettable

MOVIES/SHOWS NOTES
- "Dead Hands Dig Deep," the documentary about Edwin Borsheim from Kettle Cadaver that my friends Spencer and Jai spent the last year directing (and that I am briefly interviewed in) will be be debuting at Slamdance Festival on January 22nd. Follow http://www.deadhandsdigdeep.com/ for more updates on showings
- "Last Days" was so boring and ultimately pointless, it really felt like a waste of time and a chore to finish
- The new "Mad Max" was better than even the hype made it seem
- How Kevin Spacey didn't win Best Actor for "American Beauty" is beyond me
- Sorry but I was disappointed by "Enter The Dragon" I thought it was gonna be way more badass
- "Upstream Color" was one of the strangest movies I've seen in awhile and even after reading reviews it's unclear to me what the movie was really about but it was good
- "Dead Presidents" was so much different than I expected it was gonna be in all the right ways...very powerful film
LIVE
12/19/15 - Class Traitors/Woodruff @ The Dial
LIVE NOTES
- Class Traitors are much better live than they are recorded
- That was only Woodruff's 2nd show and they were way more solid than a lot of bands that have been around for years (\_/, I'm looking at you...) and I interviewed them afterward ; Look for that soon
