Forgotten Worlds

Do you watch the Olympics like I do? Maybe you do, Maybe you don’t. As for me??? I LIVE FOR IT. And if I were to be completely honest, the whole sports thing isn’t even my favorite part. ITS THE PARADE OF NATIONS! I love watching the citizens of the globe proudly wave their flag around, wearing fun outfits that either show off their flag colors or something else entirely *ahem* TONGA *ahem*. And while I am in love with countries, continents, cultures, languages and the like, EVEN I FORGET ABOUT CERTAIN COUNTRIES. So I will give a few of … Continue reading Forgotten Worlds

Here is our latest batch of music reviews – from electronic to rock to rap! Go enjoy and listen to something NEW! SINGLES Dead Naked Hippies Guillotine Released June 20, 2018 U.K.  |  Grunge/Alternative Rock Probably one of my favorite songs from Dead Naked Hippies to date, Guillotine cuts straight through the bullshit and right to the reality of life, emotional baggage and all. It presents to the listener, in the most transparent of ways, the purgatory we face between revenge and just letting go when it comes to hurt and grief caused by others. And if you didn’t think … Continue reading Mad Props 6.27.18

Mad Props – 06.10.18

ALBUMS CHICKN WOWSERS! Released May 11, 2018 Greece  |  Psychedelia/Experimental If You Like: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, The Who, Small Faces, King Crimson Channeling the absurdity of Frank Zappa and combining it with the listenability of today’s Indie Psychedelic movement is Chickn. Their sophomore album is pretty dang solid in it’s 9 song’s worth of content. Upon first listen, I found it quite astounding that more people were not talking about this album or this band… the fact that they were for the most part, going unnoticed despite this glimmering example of old school … Continue reading Mad Props – 06.10.18

Meh or Yeh Music Reviews: 03.30

abigailpixler5452

If you are new to reading my reviews, unfamiliar with what these reviews consist of and how I “rate”them, let me explain. I am not “out to get any artist or band” I am not here to tear anyone down, only to give my opinions on what my head, ears and heart hear and take in. I WILL NOT use star ratings or number systems to get my opinion across because well, I’d rather not. I’d rather just say yay or nay FOR ME and move on with my life. Lastly, don’t take my reviews as concrete facts about an … Continue reading Meh or Yeh Music Reviews: 03.30
