I am pretty much phoning this month in. From long distance. You don't need me to tell you that High on Fire's 'Cometh the Sto...

Ya know, I can't even remember how I came across Uncle Woe exactly but since hearing 'Pennyfold Haberdashery and Abbatoir Deluxe...

Last month I mentioned how Kevin Keegan and Devon Motz were guest vocalists on the Brugada album. In digging into the guests I was unfamili...

  "Better late than never" applies to this post in a couple ways. First, the post is a few weeks late. Second, the album is a few ...

Man, the evolution continues. Or is it a de-evolution? Not society. That's totally fucked. I mean my music listening habits. Long gone a...

Full disclosure. I'm tired of this format. This will be the last collage/what I listened to most post. I'm not sure what...

Music is a drug. A strong, addicting, healing drug. Here's what I medicated with most in November. Ok, so obviously not all ...

Once again we find Baroness on top of the pile! No surprise. I love it. Love it! I also love the newest from Hippie Death Cult, ...

For the first time in a long time I went a whole month without alcohol. And the last 8 days without weed. Or wearing a hat. Thos...

We have quite the diverse lineup this month! Some psych doom, some stoner doom, some death metal, some metallic hardcore, some M...

With the exception of Weekend Nachos' classic 'Worthless' this month's Nebular Nine could constitute a good port...

  I spent most of February obsessing over a handful of albums. Most notably that Slomosa debut from 2020. I missed it then but I'm makin...

I've canned my weekly The Week That Was Wednesdays feature on Instagram for a bunch of reasons. (Previous posts @notglossyeh) Bu...

Well, here we are again. 2022 was actually a decent year personally. There are always big things hanging overhead but at least not many fell...

The end of 2017 was bad. 2018 was subsequently sad. 2019 was shitty. 2020 was really shitty. (There was also the pandemic.) 2021 was even ...

It goes without saying 2020 was fucked. But between all the flaming garbage I think I made big personal strides in really discovering what m...

2019 was a good year but an odd year. As you can see I'm not writing as much. I'm listening to possibly more than ever but I'm...
