I’m sure our favorites albums are different, but this was the biggest week for new releases this year given my tastes

Helvete: historien om Norsk black metal is probably the best thing on that scene

A bunch they have already been mentioned. But I’ll add Soundtrack to a coup d’état on 60s jazz (that’s kind of a stretch, but it’s an amazing film); It’s gonna blow! on San Diego in the 90s; and The color of noise on AmRep records

Starting way behind y’all. But I put this on months ago and bailed because it was doing nothing for me. This nudge got me to go back to it!

This is fantastic @whatfreshhell.bsky.social

Séance, by Sylvia Rose 6 track album

It’s like it’s cold and overcast, and I’m walking home from work, with an overwhelming desire to take a walk into the woods and to carry out a ritual that summons a world destroying demon to do its thing. That’s what this kickass album feels like to me

Wrote a story about how I was involved with a real court case against one of the biggest pension funds in the world by @fossielvrijnl.bsky.social and how it and other cases inspired @allwillrise.bsky.social. #indiedev #gamedev #activism

They’ve been out at lots of benefits shows, and they are deeply committed to human and nonhuman liberation. Very skinhead inflected in all of the best ways

I’ve never had their donuts. They don’t do anything gluten free and I have celiac. Being vegan and celiac is a bummer sometimes

Séance, by Sylvia Rose 6 track album

OUT NOW!!!!!

I am so happy to release Séance, my first official solo release under my own name. I am so proud of these songs and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Digital... for now.

Sobrevivencia, by Seclusion 8 track album

Seclusion is quickly becoming one of my favorite DC bands. I’ve seen them a bunch lately, and their shows always kick ass. Their debut LP levels up from where they were on their demo. And if you appreciate Oi! inspired hardcore you’ll definitely dig this seclusiondc.bandcamp.com/album/sobrev...

It’s so good. I read it last year and also watched Fire in Babylon, it was cool thinking about those things together given the time between the events that are portrayed in each

It’s going to take a few listens to figure out what I think about this. But it was a super fun listen, and there are some really interesting production decisions on here

MUTINY AFTER MIDNIGHT YouTube video by Johnny Blue Skies

The new Sturgill Simpson is streaming on YouTube and I’m here for it, but I’m not sure what to make of it www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKHG...

Stormland - "The Altar of War" Official Video YouTube video by Stormland

Yeah, the video's meant to be funny, but the song is serious. The War Pigs, the generals gathered in their masses, are out there sacrificing people like it's nothing and it doesn't fucking stop. It doesn't stop infuriating me either...

Mental check-in. Memes only

Shit is bleak out there…so it makes sense

I feel like a lot of them were hard. There’s so much I love from most years, and that was really fun to realize. But I also sort of realized that there are many genres where I love albums but don’t have a sense of what songs I love

If I lived close by I would absolutely come over for taladega nights!

This is definitely in my pile. But I haven’t been sharing as much recently, because the vibes on this site have been so dark. I hope you’re doing ok, friend. You’re in my thoughts 🖤

I used this one when I taught a class on horror, and it’s really good. There are some missteps, but overall it’s probably my favorite Flanagan film

Do it! I feel like I should change mine because I’m not the same person I was when I started this account!

That doesn't suprise me too much. That Pretty Girls Make Graves album is so damn good...I'm glad that I got to see them back in the day and I keep hoping that they do more reunion shows

I’ve always been a hardcore kid, with a toe or several in the dark dance and goth spaces

I've always been a hardcore kid, with a toe or several in the dark dance and goth spaces...

Thanks!

That album blew my mind when it came out, and I couldn't imagine that music could go anywhere more interesting from there. But I guess that's always the way that things go. Also, time is an illusion, that album came out like a decade ago at most...

Yesterday I turned 50, and I decided to put together a playlist that included one favorite song from every year that I've been alive. It ended up being a wild playlist. But listening to it brought me immense joy...This is what is on the playlist

I honestly wonder if Brody is doing more for the world by showing up at AEW events and getting the chants going
