What MUSIC are you listening to?

Modern popular rap is typically something I loathe, but this Megan Thee Stallion album is kinda great. It's refreshing to hear someone get hyped that can actually rap.

Have you heard Yugen Blakrok? I'm pretty selective about modern music, too, but I think she's really good.

Sometimes you just gotta listen to Horrified I think. Today is that day!



I've also been listening to the new Hatchie and Mannequin Pussy albums a lot to slightly change gears.

Wow, I haven’t listened to Horrified in many years...what a classic. I always thought it was kind of a shame that they were just slightly ahead of the curve on the grindcore thing and on the wrong continent for it. Definitely on par with Napalm Death, Carcass, Heresy, Extreme Noise Terror and that lot.

I just started listening to Zeal & Ardor. Traditional black spirituals and gospel mixed with...black metal. It’s quite interesting.

Also Deafheaven’s “Black Brick” over and over...by far their most all out metal track, and one of the best black metal songs I’ve ever heard.

GET YOUR D20's OUT!!!


This puts a smile on my face. I grew up listening to this stuff. I'm one of the few people on the planet that think Caress of Steel is Rush's best album.

This song is stuck in my head today, and makes a fine soundtrack to a hectic Monday at work:

I have been listening to Icon for Hire frequently lately.





Hopefully I can get to their show in Ferndale in November.

The band Martha is probably my favorite currently active band, and somehow I missed that they related a new full length last April. I don't pay a ton of attention to new music these days I guess. Point is, in super excited for this new Martha album!

Although I didn't agree with all of Trent Reznor's musical choices for the recent Watchmen tv show, playing the opening notes of Devo's Mongoloid was a great pick for one of Jean Smart's scenes. First, the song has a killer opening, and second, it was a quick way to establish her character as old but still edgy and cool. Until that scene, I had forgotten all about the song, but now I like it more than ever because I now realize that it's also a very danceable song.

^^it's a good follow-up!
