Lucky I’m Sane After All I’ve Been Through

The Memorials – Fluorescent’s Unforgiving
This is the first release from the upcoming album by The Memorials, a band whose first album I reviewed a few weeks back. It’s heavy and has a great hook with a chant and a rant and big fat blunt. Best Legalization … Continue reading

What I Hate Most About The Internet…
…is that there is absolutely nothing I can consciously do to provoke interest in what I write and distribute on the internet. It’s the opposite side of the same coin, really. No way to gauge what really works. The metrics … Continue reading

I Swear It Was The Oatmeal, Your Honour
