Sometimes the stars align. Things are just easy. You pick up the weekly web fun for the boss and the lady of choice falls into your lap. This is that week. I could do this all in one sentence. Nothing else I say will matter as much in the pop-culture universe. BEHOLD!! the grand-daughter of Elvis Aaron Presley, Riley Keough. That’s right, the King is still getting it done two generations later. Much as I’d like that to be the end, two factors com...

Photo: Stacy Schwartz Motorhead was more than just one of the greatest metal bands ever. So many have attitude, heaviness, apocalyptic visions, tales of debauchery; and many manage to effectively translate these into their music. But precious few have expressed ALL of these, often in the same song, as articulately as Motorhead and Lemmy. I never met Lemmy Kilmister. I don’t even have any particularly detailed stories of my many times seeing his band live. Well, none that don&rsqu...
Welcome to another episode with a guest host...my little brother Zaid. In this episode we get a perspective from a member of a younger generation on Metal. An interesting discussion is had on how people “discover” Metal and what happens when they do not have that incredible privilege. We also talk about Metal from an international perspective...especially from an Eastern stand-point. The episode culminates in a conversation about the awesome Iraqi band Acrassicauda. Horns Up! &ndas...

In this episode Loond, who was diligently paying attention all year, and Jibbies (who was not) discuss the former’s list of Top Albums for 2014.

They also check in on Down’s pulling the plug, the 4-person C.O.C. reformation, and Black Tusk’s decision to keep it rolling.

In this episode we herald the return of Faith No More, talk about new music from Orange Goblin, Red Fang, and Cavalera Conspiracy, and begin hyping the Fallcore 2014 extravaganza later this year in HTX. Loond clues us in on shows he’s been checking out, including Queensryche’s tour, then he and Jibbies descend into bemoaning Houston’s continued evident B-rating as a place for tours to stop and ridiculing both Slipknot’s new-mask policy and Geoff Tate’s feverishly humping away at destroying whatever remaining cred he has.
