Behold Plant Vochestra, the best metal side-project since Ladder Up An Ass! Like Ladder Up An Ass, Plant Vochestra also happens to feature two of the lovable goons in The Red Chord, along with Between the Buried and Me vocalist Tommy Rogers. The Red Chord played a hometown one-off at the opening date of the [...]

Singer-songwriter Emily Arin is from Montour Falls, New York, but she traveled to Philadelphia in order to record her debut album, Patch Of Land, with a handful of locals. The album was produced by Brian McTear ( Weathervane Music/Shaking Through ) and Greg Weeks (of Espers) at his Hexham Head studio , and mixed by Jonathan Low at Miner Street Studios. The album also features Dave Hartley [...]
Coach Neilstein here calling a play from the sidelines and pulling star QB Greg Weeks from action for the season. Like star hair model Tom Brady, it seems that Weeks is bailing in the clutch and in need of some backup. I'm kidding, of course; Weeks did a tremendous job writing about the NFL and [...]

top of the evening. the last 72 hours have been kinda hell in the ol' van dyke home. i'll spare ya the gory details, but lets just say that puking, massive shits and body aches have hit all 4 us. fun times, fun times indeed. i found a copy of this very cool comp that was once included in the uk mag, comes with a smile . it seems as if they did it monthly, and all the comps seem to have been of pretty high quality. judging by their site, it may seem like they are down for [...]
They're both gonna have members on tonight's extra-special 100th episode of the Metal Injection Livecast, that's what!!! From a press release (What, you think we actually like the Metal Injection dudes? We only communicate via press releases!): "The Metal Injection Livecast will be celebrating a milestone tonight, 100 first run editions of the live podcast. [...]
We survived the first week of 2011! WHOO-HOO! Only another forty-nine left 'til our next vacation. Here's how we rang in the new year: The Red Chord's Greg Weeks tried to earn his contractually-due incentives. We spoke to The Funeral Pyre's John Strachan. We showed mortiferous scorn towards the latest release from Mortiferous Scorn. We [...]
Coaches fired, teams failing, and incentives earned. I love week sixteen. Incentives: they are written into a ton of contracts nowadays to get players to focus more on earning money for themselves than to put in an effort for their team. In the last week of regular season play, we see players on teams who are dead in [...]
OK, I'm calling a delay of game on myself. After the northeast was crushed with snow, I woke up with zero power, which equals no internet. If I miss certain games during the weekend, I use this Al Gore-invented "super highway" to catch up. I watched a couple of games, but being showered with gifts on Jesus' birthday weekend [...]
Hello, everybody. As we gear up for a holiday celebration of some sort depending on your religion, upbringing or general scroogery, we also gear up for brutal weather (in some places), presents and more football. The year and regular season are on their way out which means teams will be playing more enthusiastically for their [...]
So, I know I'm not supposed to be biased about my favorite team in this blog thing, but c'mon, did you see last Monday's game? Holy shit! It wasn't even a real game. Someone should tell Sanchez to relieve his evil twin that has been playing in his place the last two weeks. On that topic, the Pats faced [...]
It seems like the number of "Why did you ban me from commenting?!?" e-mails from readers has increased as of late, and the gist of those e-mails is often "Whassa matter, can't take it when someone tells you you suck?" or whatever. And we've never banned anyone for disagreeing with us. We don't give a [...]
So, I'm giving you guys an open invite to my place in Quincy, MA for tonight's matchup between the Pats and the Jets. We're playing cards, probably the re-release of NBA Jams, getting some Lynwood's pizza, and enjoying ourselves. Don't worry about finding my place; if I seepeople roaming my street with wings and team jerseys, then I'll [...]
At least, it was my last time. I feel like I shaved years off my life drinking that crud. Yucky! Here's what else we did this week: The Human Abstract's A.J. Minette kicked off his new MetalSucks column, Periphery's Misha Mansoor checked in from The Legacy Tour, and The Red Chord's Greg Weeks thinks that [...]
I love T-giving!!! Tons of food, great family discourse fueled by alcohol, and classic throwback jersey football! With the Surgeon General promoting a vegetarian diet for the nation, I enjoyed as much ham and turkey before Tofurkey becomes a national pastime. Fights! Besides the scuffles between the Pats and Lions, this week saw a rare beast in the NFL [...]
Bam! Home from tour and I can't tell you how amazing it is to shower, shit, and sleep in my own place. Oh, the little things we take for granted everyday. So, with all division leaders being tied for first or only one game ahead, it's still anybody's game. P. Manning is kicking himself after literally throwing away Sunday's [...]
Allow me to shill for a beat before the weekend: If you haven't already bought one of our new, limited edition shirts, go get yours now!!! They're selling fast, and soon they will be the title of a God Forbid album. Don't say we didn't warn you. Here's some other fun stuff we did this [...]
I'd like to once again thank my replacements for last week. They taught us how stupid American football is, how to do a football blog correctly, and what it feels like to root for a losing team. Speaking of which, congratulations are in hand for the Buffalo Bills and their first season win! And a bigger thanks goes [...]
I can't think of anything clever to say right now, so I'm just gonna leave to my homies, Ozzy and Forest: Here's what we did this week: Veil of Maya's Marc Okubo gave us our first Legacy Tour diary, Intronaut's Sacha Dunable gave us a lesson in why Californians should have voted to legalize weed, [...]
"Bye Weeks" Here we go! Thanks for all the entries and thanks for those who've stopped by the merch table and talked football. -GW #1: Hey guys, Double D here to round up the football action from yesterday. We don't have a lot of time so let's get to it. The Raiders moved a half [...]
Why am I writing this week's "Worst Week" entirely in questions? Could it be to irritate you? Or am I just trying to keep myself amused at the end of the week? Did you know we asked some other questions this week? Was Sergeant D. kidding when he said that there are only two good [...]
