Sitting in my living room listening to Abbey Road on my new record player, I’m mesmerized by the sound quality. The album was released in 1969, the year I was born. I can’t get over how every single song on this album is just so well produced. I felt as if I was listening to […]
Brothers and sisters, the apocalypse is descended upon us. The Metalocalypse that is… So, I started watching this show titled Metalocalypse on recommendation from someone possessing impeccable taste.

A Sound of Thunder are a heavy metal band based in Washington DC and are set to issue their latest full-length studio album on September 9, 2014. The band is fronted with the operatic wails of pintsized (standing a mere 5’2) classically trained (and hot) vocalist Nina Osegueda. Osegueda has been described as “the lovechild […]
“Sebastian who?” was a text I received from a friend during the Skid Row concert in Toronto on Wednesday August 20, 2014. He was situated across the Virgin Mobile Mod Club in a different vantage point than I was for the show and this text came by the end of the second song of the […]
