I am not at all bashful for my love of the Witchhouse genre. I am especially unbashful in my love for the quite fantastic self-titled ep from Tri-Angle Records artist oOoOO. So you can only imagine my giddiness at sharing a new track from him. The track while technical not NEW (it did appear on the lovely Fact 227 mix that he did earlier in the year) this song is the sort of slow motion drag that pulls you in and never lets you go. Not necessarily a summertime jam, but more of a thoughtful piece for the [...]

2010 saw the emergence of a new genre of music that nobody could quite put their finger on defining. It was kind of spooky, had its' leanings towards fetishizing the imagery of 1970's witchcraft movies and Twin Peaks, (and the corresponding soundtracks) and an unusual sonic influence (wether intentional or not) in DJ Screw who was known for his mix tapes of almost demonically pitch shifted and slowed-down hip hop. That genre has been known as Witchhosue, Drag, Chillwave, Emo (just kidding- we all know that emo is now synonymous with failed goth) what ever you want [...]

International human rights day (10 December) marks the anniversary of the United Nation's historic "Universal Declaration Of Human Rights" on 10 December 1948. The UDHR set out for the first time in a single document the fundamental rights to which everyone, everywhere is entitled - including the right to life, liberty, security, the freedoms of opinion, association and expression, and the right not to be subjected to torture or cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment.

I realize I am quite late on this one, and anybody who is into the band already knows about the album, but just because you are late to a party doesn't mean your enjoyment should be diminished. Right? Right. Anywho... For those of you unfamiliar with Imminent, the music project of Olivier Moreau among the innovators of the movement that became known as power noise (or power electronic) in the late 90's. The last Imminent album (when he was still punctuating it with Starvation) Nord stands up to this day as one of the most essential albums of [...]

I decided that it was long overdue for me to start 'casting. I've considered doing this since I first created this blog years ago. I also realize that this is really the only way for me to possibly keep up with all of the things I am currently listening to. (for now anyways) I hope to start creating video podcasts in the future, but for now I'll just stick to doing audio. This is my first crack at it, so I promise the mixes will only get better. Anywho... On to the show. In this particular case the subject of [...]

If you have followed this blog during it's last few years you may remember me going all gaga over the new published journal by Barron Storey who's work has influenced countless generation of artists (wether they realize it or not) and more importantly that a new edition of his very famous Marat/Sade Journals would go back into print. Flash forward several years. I just got an email from Carl Wyckaert (who runs the Graphic Novel Art blog stating that the new edition of the journal would be available October [...]

It's been a long time since i posted here. I needed to say something about this though since it's 4 days later and not a peep from the media about it. William Garvey passed away on August 3rd from a stroke. Right now the collective mass of you are scratching your heads asking the same questions WHO IS WILLIAM GARVEY AND WHAT IS HE ON ABOUT? William wrote one of my favorite songs of all time, yet it is always credited to another person. For most people who hear Goodbye Horses [...]
