By - Jason Hamric Welcome to My Blue Sky is a strange kind of  rock record: not made for playlists or metrics or the soulless fucking algorithm —but for people who need music. For the brokenhearted. For the stoned dreamers. For the ones lying on their backs staring at the ceiling, remembering how it felt to be 17 and doomed. It’s a splattered love letter to all the reasons we […]

By - Gareth Jones For fans of Paul Naschy, Spanish Exploitation Gothic, early 1970’s cheesy but fun Euro-horror Jacinto Molina Álvarez, known professionally as Paul Naschy, is one of the most important figures in the development of Gothic Cinema and Spanish Cinema as well.  Born in 1934, he grew up during the Spanish Civil War and lived during the fascist regime of Franco.  As a child, he saw Frankenstein Meets […]

By - Kayleigh Dr3ake Ladies and gentlefolks, say hello to your new spring soundtrack As a Media Profesh, I’ve accepted my fair share of writing assignments. However, I don’t think I’ve ever accepted one faster than I did this Jetstream Pony review. This is a band I was (somehow) unfamiliar with up until recently, when I was asked to review their upcoming album, “Bowerbirds and Blue Things.” The band was […]

By - Gareth Jones For fans of American Gothic, David Lynch, Viggo Mortenson, terrifying coming of age films Some films you see and they are immediately forgotten.  Others stick in the back of your mind forever.  For me, The Reflecting Skin is one of the latter. Released in 1990, it was the first film directed by the incredibly talented polymath, Phillip Ridley.  He had made two short films and written […]

By - Paul Cordes Wilm A Change Is Gonna Come In the most beautiful way, this album could serve as Lonnie Holley’s musical epitaph. In an epic sense, it is not only his most complete and whole sounding work in his canon, there is a slightly historic feel to Tonky not present in his previous works, both personal and worldly. And Lonnie Holley is by all means a historic figure […]

By - Jackie Lo SST was THE record label everyone wanted to be signed to in its heyday. What started as a mail order business for ham radio enthusiasts that Greg Ginn created when he was just 12 years old, eventually became one of the most influential independent record labels putting out some of the greatest underground records of the 80s and 90s. “Corporate Rock Sucks: The Rise & Fall […]

By - Gareth Jones For fans of Luca Guadagnino, Zendeya, Josh O’Connor, modern romantic dramas I must admit that I am extremely late to being obsessed with this film. Many folks have been here before me.  It might have been the timing of the release, but I did not see this when it came out in theaters.  I regret that now in many ways. I can only imagine seeing this […]

By - Paul Cordes Wilm The World Needs More Music Like This Right Now Welcome to the soundtrack of your future. It comes directly to you via Bogota, Colombia and it heals all wounds, makes everything better, more danceable and (the best part!) just a little bit more hilariously absurd. I’m talking about the immaculate sounds of Los Pirañas, a trio who have been making music on and off as […]

By - Gareth Jones For fans of tense dramas based on real life, The Abyss, Woody Harrelson March remains an odd time of year for movies.  In the “ancient” past, there used to be a time when studios would dump films that they were not happy with and wanted to just get shown so that they could be released on home media.  Now, it seems like the studios are still […]
