My husband picked up a Los Vigilantes LP for me last evening at a record show at the York Emporium in York, PA. This band has been on my radar for a little while now thanks to Bazooka Joe of Dallastown’s own Slovenly Recordings. He’s got his tune-slingin’ fingers in a few other projects like The …
I recently stumbled onto the band Arbouretum while browsing the related artist feature on Spotify. I instantly connected with the music. It sounds like movement through a viscous tun, effervescent in spots and with stinging metallic bits in others. I get some doom influence in the slow, deliberate groove, but there is an underlying joy …
I’m a complete fantasy nut. I worked at the PA Renaissance Faire (sales wench). I doodled fairies and warrior women in my high school notebooks. Boudicca was and still may be my hero. Conan, Legend, Labyrinth? Those were my childhood movies. I played RPG’s like Ultima and King’s Quest like a boss. I firmly believe …
I’m a Danzig fan. Glenn Danzig’s music and voice touches all the tortured, twisted, heart-wrenching emotions that exist in the soul. Can it possibly be done justice in a cover? I say, yes. This is a acoustic cover that Melissa Auf der Maur and Karen Elson did several years ago so I’m sure many of …
The name of this band comes from a Roky Erickson & The Aliens song from the album The Evil One (plus one): and the name of the song, in turn, comes from the film of the same name from 1955 (the year my Dad was born!). Creature With The Atom Brain hails from Belgium and …
Don’t hold me to it, but I’m planning a weekly musical pick for you all on Mondays. I’m going to call it Metal Monday in an effort to balance the Meatless Monday craze that exists. I don’t get it. Meatless? Whoever heard of such silliness? Today you’re getting a song called Hop Toad from the …
I slacked on doing this post last week. I blame it partially on having no electricity off and on for several days thanks to Snowtober (and yes, that tree is sitting on my house, heavy with still-green leaves … oh, and I love my new house. LOVE.): and partially on heading to Baltimore last Tuesday to …
Last week I talked to you about my obsession with music, my desire to feel the power of a motorcycle between my legs, and my love of Sons of Anarchy. This show is full of incredible tunes and it is my mission to educate the powder-puff masses. Here are my favorite songs from each episode …
You may not know it but I’m a huge fan of Sons of Anarchy. I love motorcycles and definitely plan on having one someday. I long to hop on and just ride in freedom as the sun sets behind me and the wheels eat asphalt below my feet. In the meantime, I’d just love to …
I’ve been posting a lot of music on Facebook lately. The recent integration of Spotify (which I love) and the roll-out of Facebook Timeline (which if you don’t have you can probably still set up if you want) has got me all beside myself with sharing songs I love. To me, music is woven into …
