NYC band Genre is Death playing at Rhizome DC on November 10, 2025, opening for SEXFACES. Tayler Lee and Ty Varesi play bass & guitar with one standing playing bass and the other writhing, thrashing and wailing on the guitar while supported by a drum machine. The songs are tight and the lyrics are great and they are just fun to watch!
Genre is Death playing at Rhizome in DC. The basist stands tall and still, while the electric guitarist moves closer to her wildly thrashing and moving and belting out a distinct, crisp thrashing electric guitar.
Had the pleasure of seeing them last November at my favorite venue here in DC, @rhizomedc.bsky.social, and they were amazing to watch and listen to!
Their economic acumen is such that they are making $0 on these Steve Albini sessions that they just released. If you want to know how In On the Killtaker would have sounded with Steve at the panel then you'll need to help transform disadvantaged peoples' lives

People forget that the average Minor Threat ticket was $2,735. Thatβs why they could afford the $5 fugazi ones.

I wish I could enjoy this photo, but I was playing basketball at that gym the next day and missed a free throw because the hoop was slightly bent. That was the end of my NBA dreams.
Brilliant album full of top songs that I bought on its release day and still regularly play.
Hereβs my UK vinyl version album and inner sleeve cover.

The best news!!!
36 years ago today. Drove through a snowstorm from Chicago to Indiana skipping skool to see Ministry for the 2nd time (first was NYE at the RIV) on βThe Mind is A Terrible Thing to Tasteβ Slept in the β76 Pontiac Catalina after the show was over. Life altering. Here it is:

Gary Gygax and Gabe Newell invented the Linux kernel while working at NeXT, named that because they enjoyed popcorn so much. Steve Jobs tricked them into giving it away for free by saying it was Opposite Day, but in the process invented the GPL license used later for wegovy.
So I kind of figured itβd be amazing to watch but man this really is different. Sheβs so relaxed. Sheβs visibly having so much fun. Sheβs not fighting for a medal here. Sheβs just playing her favorite game
Ray Manzarek with X
Besides his work with The Doors, Manzarek produced the first four X albums.
Sidestep -> Manzarek would have turned 87 the day before yesterday.

Happy Birthday boys!

It lives rent free in my head. That was the third time Iβve seen them and they just keep getting better and better. Cannot wait to see them again in DC on 2/27!

February 9, 1974: Iggy Pop & The Stooges played their last concert at the Michigan Palace in Detroit.
Pop taunted and insulted the audience throughout the entire show and was pelted with ice cubes, eggs, and beer bottles.
The band broke up for the first time a few weeks later.

my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, youβre just boring and racist
A worn box with a green printed label: "15 day course / VITA RADIUM SUPPOSITORIES / Guaranteed to contain Real Refined Radium and to be perfectly harmless. / The Home Products Co. Denver, Colorado."
A brown glass vial with a cork and a label that reads, "RADITHOR / CERTIFIED RADIOACTIVE WATER / Contains Radium and Mesothorium in a Triple Distilled Water"
Every time I see "AI" being crammed into another consumer product I think of how in the 50s we put radium in suppositories because "the atom" was the snakeoil hype of the moment
Seems about right. Iβll take it.
