The book's great, it details a lot of their early shows, and has some cool art.

On the right is a reprint of an early zine they made that came with the book. That's the back, because the cover is GROSS (as are its contents). It consists of crude black & white collage art on some colored pages from a mix of sources, including nasty medical things. 😂

An ad for Crystal Quest on Game Boy from 1991. I first played Crystal Quest on a Mac Performa in the 90s, and had no idea it was on Game Boy until recently. But I had a chance to grab this version for cheap this past year, and it's a pretty good portable version!

On this day (November 4) in 1988, John Carpenter's THEY LIVE was released.

Did a recent rewatch of this recently and it holds up. Disturbingly accurate as to what's still going on in the world today (and maybe has always and will always go on in the world, with corruption, greed, etc.)

A fascinating, terrifying film.

So our town must be ridiculous or something, NO trick or treaters (yet, it's 7:48), basically like last year. Maybe the kids go to events? I don't get it. Used to be a LOT of kids. It has to be that the kids suck. Or that the parents suck. Or both. 🤣😂🤣


nostr:npub1q7n5m066a8pk5nrrfepheggz8hlqehutacyfcsayf4kdprutecmsqhcjp3 it REALLY does. Probably very much my kind of thing. I hear there's a bunch of crafting, might have to get used to that but if it's well done and I can figure it out, that's never a dealbreaker haha

Diablo IV is free to play this weekend on Xbox so I know what I'll be doing some of. Haven't played it since I tried the pre-release beta!

Pretty Hate Machine came out in 1989. So yeah, technically, nine inch nails are an 80s band.

Pretty wild, archive.org has the FULL movie of They Live on it- for free stream or download.

https://archive.org/details/they-live-1988

Interesting line from it - the ghoul speaking to the rich people near the end says "Our projections show that by the year 2025, not only America but the entire planet will be under the protection and dominion of this 'power alliance'. The gains have been substantial both for ourselves, and for you-- the human power elite."

I like their older stuff too but my fave is Must Die from 2004. Bangers front to back.

And now they're gonna tour with Bad Religion, which is awesome. I'm not gonna go (I've seen em both separately), but wow what shows those are gonna be


So psyched for the new Dwarves album 'Concept Album' coming out next month. (Is EVERYONE putting out a new album this year?!)

Seriously though, they just premiered the first new song and video 'We Will Dare', and of COURSE it's awesome.

Because it's the Dwarves.

nostr:npub1szspghg34spvjtgn49y9mzxksdftndvfx998xmsve607uy8h4u8smd970r I just posted about em - the new one from an eggpunk band called Baghed and the self-titled debut of Off Peak Arson who are the remnants of a band I loved called Ten High. Just killer catchy psych rock stuff with male AND female vocals (she plays the drums, I think he does guitar?) Bet you'd dig. Almost shoegazey sometimes but also bluesy kinda? I just appreciate solid songwriting haha


nostr:npub1szspghg34spvjtgn49y9mzxksdftndvfx998xmsve607uy8h4u8smd970r whoaa okay they're great too- almost missed them because the first song of the album had kind of an odd start but YES wow

Grabbed two things for #BandcampFriday that have both been on my wishlist for at least several months--

Baghed - The Logic Project
https://baghedband.bandcamp.com/album/the-logic-project

(killer raw, short egg punk songs if you're into Gee Tee or Satanic Togas, you'll dig)

and

Off Peak Arson - Self Titled
https://offpeakarson.bandcamp.com/album/self-titled

who are of course the new incarnation of the band Ten High (who you owe it to yourself to check out also, they have FOUR perfect albums: https://tenhigh.bandcamp.com).

The male-female vocal thing rules, they remind me of Sebadoh sometimes, but maybe bluesier, garage psych? I've talked about em here before. They don't make bad songs.

Both solid gets, and for less than $13 total.

Something you may dig (I do) is Torus Dome. Very chill. Meditative. It's dark ambient/drone and I love it. They put out a lot of albums but any are great (they're all pretty similar) haha.

This is their newest one they just put out yesterday!

Diablo 2 on there says 21d 21h. Wolfenstein is probably way more than those but it doesn't tell me. As for Switch, I know D2 was over 40 hours - probably hundreds. And I just checked, Quest of Dungeons on there I've played over 55 hours too haha. What are yours like?

For #ThursDeath this week, let's talk about Act of Impalement.

Their album from this year, 'Infernal Ordinance' is a death metal CONTENDER and will definitely be in my personal top favorite 20 albums of 2023.

It's 'offal draped death metal' of the finest sort, really ODSM, some KILLER grooves on here.

A small snip of my Bandcamp wishlist shows how kinda weird my music taste is though, nice poppy things like La Luz and Fleur right next to death metal things like Redlord, Act of Impalement and Faceless Burial. I suppose they all have great beats and basslines

She was in Tucson and then Phoenix area when I met her 10 years ago.. I want out of AZ though. Don't know where, I'd personally love Maine or Seattle but both are so expensive I know haha- especially compared to here. Which is STILL expensive. It's the USA after all. 🙄

nostr:npub1867rmfndukpctfykxe8ljmx6xzew0jf84pc8225dwsx9c3e7l8tslmmfsf wow, over 60 years- I've only been in AZ for like, 13 but it's enough for me haha. I lived on the east coast mostly, MD growing up, and FL some, and NH also. I always wonder what the weather is like there now, even the winters were getting more extreme in NH when I left.


I missed #MusicWomenWednesday yesterday, but today I'm listening to this amazing album by Fleur (this is her debut, her second one from last year is great too).

Fleur is based in the Netherlands and all this stuff is in French, but WOW is it catchy. And her VOICE. 🤯  I should say that I don't always like stuff that's this.. light and airy? I don't even know what genre this is. Kinda pop, kinda avant? Kinda old-ish sounding but still super fresh. Some of it is pretty upbeat but it's jangly, like a ton of music I like (Smithereens haha), so maybe it's that.

But seriously, if you want some amazing jangly pop (in French) with a GREAT female singer, Fleur is IT:

Had a REALLY good run of Quest of Dungeons going last night (a run I'd been saving my progress on, I'd been working on it over a couple days), and it was maybe one of my best runs ever. Felt really good. Level 12 warrior, down several levels in the dungeon, and then boom. Death. Outta nowhere.

I know QoD is probably not considered a true roguelike, so I'll say.. 'ah, turn-based dungeon crawling!' 🤣

We have quite a collection of Halloween stuff (some vintage) from the past couple years, and I always have to be careful around this time of year not to go too nuts buying more. But one thing I've noticed, stores start for holidays SO early (not that I mind, with Halloween).

But I was amused the other day, Marshall's is pretty much done with Halloween stuff, most of it's gone and it's not even October. The same thing happens with Thanksgiving or Christmas or any other holiday, too. The world just feels a couple months ahead of everything and there are SO many holidays and living in it just feels like insanity sometimes.

and Puissance Cube
https://juveniledelinquent.bandcamp.com/album/jd025-puissance-cube-la-fin-des-temps

Sometimes you go into a wild Bandcamp rabbithole. It can start from a band you spotted on Instagram, and they're playing a show with some other bands, so you search Bandcamp for each band on the flyer, find an underground label one of them is on, check out other bands on the same label, and then suddenly you're listening to all this amazing French synth trash punk you've never heard

It's #ThursDeath and I figure it's time to talk about Utilize the Remains. Probably technically kinda brutal death/slam, but it has serious regular death vibes and no toilet bowl vocals (I dig toilet bowl vocals just as much as regular death/sewer vocals, but I know many people don't).

Utilize the Remains have SERIOUS chops and their new album Psychotic Abyss is most likely in my top 20 this year. It's catchy and riffy and fantastic.

Give it a spin:

This week's #ThursdayFiveList is #TheWeirdVideo and thankfully, I like a ton of weird videos. This was the easiest one yet 🤣 (warning: several of these are super catchy and will stay in your head, like 'Plantman' especially. RIP Gary Young, who was the drummer for Pavement. I'm not a Pavement fan, but this damn song has been in my head for 20+ years like many of the comments say. Fun fact- that's Thurston from Sonic Youth as the tree in the end.)

People could probably argue forever about what the "best" punk album ever is, so I'm going with this is my FAVORITE punk album ever (that I've heard so far).

It's damn perfect.

And it came out in 2019.

If you like punk AT ALL, give it a listen (their other stuff is great too, but this is a MASTERPIECE).

People could probably argue forever about what the "best" punk album ever is, so I'm going with this is my FAVORITE punk album ever.

It's damn perfect.

And it came out in 2019.

If you like punk AT ALL, give it a listen (their other stuff is great too, but this is a MASTERPIECE).

nostr:npub18gragp20g724vah8r5wd285ukj3pm4aa5g9tlglqfp03vsvz7feqpq2eew you're right- it's kinda ambiguous? Like, the artist didn't really bother looking up what a wolf looked like. 😂


nostr:npub1xmun9hls8a6kmne4cq6qu764l84c6naqu92xlwnh550ky284r0asra6mhm it's so wild Michael Shannon goes around and does music now, after seeing him in so many things (Boardwalk Empire) haha


DAMN but that's a big wolf

nostr:npub1603vlq5h3shs6dea9flck3ctzp23yppkqrpsqwrfak9lsq6r92ls2zv427 I'm glad at least that roguelike isn't the ONLY category that gets regularly bastardized 🤣 but this is kinda why I like to call them shooters, I mean there's twin stick too.. There's a lot of odd choices in there though


nostr:npub1fwggznlp8hqeu029ghjryyfgenaen4g0fg9947ux74w22rhk388su4hkx6 ugh you're probably right about many of them. It's a shame


nostr:npub1yx457z3tp9m4rhvmw3fv5zv4fz9gv0swkle8nzuyh2s40kypl0kqmt4kkd oh man it's incredible. I've played it a ton on Switch, beat the first big boss but that second one is so tough. Gotten to him a few times. Love how it's all procedurally generated, turn based, selling and buying items is awesome.. What a game.


nostr:npub1t7kq09dm3cp4wxrylhf3yg9yh47tqvvwx6xsxfa62s3u4a56jefsrmnx82 ha! I saw that one, poked through some reviews. I'm mostly into roguelikes, shooters (either arcade, shootemup or twin stick), stuff like old Diablo or old fps (Wolfenstein 3D or Doom).. Some card games are okay! Or board games. But I'm mostly digital. Until I find another old copy of Hero Quest.. 🤣


Just realized I had Quest of Dungeons for Android from an itch bundle I grabbed a long time ago and I fear I may never get anything done ever again. 🤣 I have it on Switch, Xbox, and now, the QoD is in my pocket..

nostr:npub1t7kq09dm3cp4wxrylhf3yg9yh47tqvvwx6xsxfa62s3u4a56jefsrmnx82 that's a good point. Still, there's SO MANY devs out there with amazing games! Does PAX have a account on here yet? Hmm


I realized today that when I lost Twitter, I also lost a lot of the cool indie game devs I was following there (and the updates on their games). And that totally sucks, because I really love to play indie games. Apparently Twitter was my main source for discovering them (sheesh).

Below is a pretty big list of games (with links to them!) that I'm looking forward to. There are SO MANY games on my Steam wishlist that are still being worked on and upcoming (some of these are on itch also, and some have alphas, betas, and demos, I've noted which).

Some of these games are definitely coming later this year, and fingers crossed for maybe full releases of the rest in 2024?

I guess this could count for Black Metal Monday too-- there's a new Wolves in the Throne Room EP called Crypt of Ancestral Knowledge that comes out on Friday and the preview track sounds GREAT (of course) - I mean, WITTR really NEVER disappoint.

We see the same kinds of things here in the USA- usually increases, the phony discounts come a lot, too- some stores do this constantly. CVS (pharmacy chain) is notorious for this. Having higher prices than everywhere, then decreasing items to almost the amount they SHOULD be, and calling it a discount or a sale. Garbage capitalism.

It's never the fancy production, either. It's the sound of the band and the songs. Does it every time. Stuff like the new Ectospire demo from this year. Same kind of lo-fi feel but I love it. Bog Body's demo from 2018 too

nostr:npub1qddtl3m840n8arpj9td8gsjusm9q6vgtw8lvhxgzaa3ghgkf35ysz2mjhp whew, it's tough, right? hahaha.

nostr:npub1twyc943p8xws0c7t094aha62ltcs7v0a475ryng352hd4gm5ryzq7p06h2 right?? 🤯 YOU KNOW. hahaha. What an album! Since everyone's tastes are different, I try to make mine more of a "my personal favorites" list every year-- I don't like definitive 'best of' or 'top aoty' stuff either. But if it can help people hear new stuff, I'm all about it haha


For #ThursDeath, I have a KILLER album for you (it verges a little bit on black metal territory) but I'd say it's firmly in death metal territory (it's DEFINITELY one of my top 20 favorite albums this year).

Serpent of Old are an incredibly talented band from Türkiye that put out a STELLAR album called Ensemble Under the Dark Sun earlier this year.

In my opinion, this is a MUST HEAR for fans of metal. Interesting and different (GREAT guitar work, etc)-- give it a listen:

nostr:npub1dfznl6xw40fvflkepmajmw58qwlf8jmuustke6g0u2eg0hrtrmgq8m6lww also interesting. And that's what I figure- working within these huge systems probably sucks. And it's probably tough to run your own practice, too? Especially now.


nostr:npub1dfznl6xw40fvflkepmajmw58qwlf8jmuustke6g0u2eg0hrtrmgq8m6lww interesting. I lived in Maryland for a LOT of years growing up (when I was 6-17) and I seem to remember the pediatricians being pretty good- maybe it's just the ADULT care that sucks. Like, they're cool with taking care of sick kids that they'll force you to carry to term, but as soon as you're 18, gfy, right?


nostr:npub1scqjkr8gnvh2dwt2jksckgrm0dqj32aftyrdeylgr2kea072frfqxnqxjz HELL YES dude!! I just took time but I need more. MOOOORE hahaha

Here in the USA, health care is pretty messed up.

Does anyone else have doctors leave their state, retire, close their practice as soon as you start using them? It happens to us CONSTANTLY here in Arizona for the past few years. Not sure how you're supposed to maintain any sense of continuous care in the USA in 2023.

It's all turning to what we call 'McMedicine' here in Arizona. The visits are BRIEF but we still owe our PCP like, hundreds of dollars that racks up for just regular visits and such (also, the "PCP" is a nurse, that's what they do here- nurses and physician assistants act as PCPs- it's VERY tough to find an actual doctor). Maybe it's a doctor shortage.

I always wonder what it's like in other states in the USA - we have Blue Cross/Blue Shield for insurance, and it's supposedly decent insurance.

Is it Arizona? Do they punish doctors here? Is it aftereffects of COVID? The USA in general and just the end results of a for-profit healthcare system that's obviously set up only for the very wealthy and continues to move in that direction?

Anyone else's experiences?

It's awesome when a site you've been using to verify things for 5+ years at work just one day decides to totally change the way you log in, and they disable your login, and then claim they have no record of your username. Welcome to 2023.

Since the VLC just runs through the music folder on my Windows 7 machine in alphabetical order, sometimes I'll end up hearing something I haven't heard in a while and I stick on it, which is cool.

Apparently today is the day I run through everything instrumental I have on here by Trent Reznor (and Atticus Ross). That's Ghosts I-VI and the MANY soundtracks he's done (Before the Flood, Bird Box, Gone Girl, Quake, Patriot's Day, Mank, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Social Network, Empire of Light, Mutant Mayhem, Watchmen).

I grabbed 3 cool, weird, inexpensive little indie games on sale the other day on my Series X and got to try out all of them this morning.

Catacomb Master is a simple platformer where you play as a cat with an eye patch who shoots arrows. It has puzzles that even I can manage. I did a few levels and will definitely be going back to it. There was another kinda roguelike one that I can't remember its name (it was okay but frustrating right off the bat), and I also grabbed Morbid: The Seven Acolytes. Anybody try that one? Tips? 😂

While Morbid is a REALLY beautiful roguelike - Diablo - Souls kinda game and I want to get better at it, I'm finding it SEVERELY difficult. More research is going to be required for me to get better at it-- maybe I'll look at some playthroughs of it for some ideas. It's THAT tough.

I've had sinus issues FOREVER, and believe it or not, you used to be able to walk in a pharmacy here in the USA and just buy decongestants with pseudoephedrine in them (the ONLY ones that decongest REALLY well - you can FEEL it decongesting). They WORKED.

Then, assholes started buying mass quantities of Sudafed etc because of meth labs, so the companies started putting it behind the counter and limited its sale. Now, to get it, you have to show your ID and give your signature.

So what did the pharma companies do? They flooded the market with this "alternative" in their "decongestants", this "phenylephrine". Companies that made Sudafed etc just SWITCHED the chemical in the pills. And I noticed they didn't work.

And guess what.

Phenylephrine doesn't decongest. They just confirmed it.

This happens ALL the time. People are legitimately using a helpful product, there's this media craze about something, and it screws everything up for the people the product was helping.

Insanity.
