Cassandra Peterson: Yours Cruelly, Elvira
Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark Cassandra Peterson Hachette Books Growing up, Elvira: Mistress of The Dark was everywhere. We played the video game, we watched the movie. She popped up in pro-wrestling (Wrestlemania II) and was a fan of, and tagged alongside, horror movies and heavy metal. What wasn’t to […]Archive

Dark Divinity: Messianic (ep)
Dark Divinity Messianic (ep) Trench Records Look, I’m such a fairweather fan when it comes to anything within a formaldehyde and methanol-soaked rag’s reach of something that even vaguely once resembled death metal so you’ll forgive me if this is not the review you’re looking for. I can only speak to liking this with all […]Archive

The 1001 Albums Challenge # 138: Limp Bizkit – “Chocolate Starfish and The Hot Dog Flavored Water”
A lot of this world’s problems and most of its very bad music comes from white dudes with daddy issues. And I was reminded of that finally listening to Limp Bizkit’s breakthrough album.

The 1001 Albums Challenge # 98: Hanoi Rocks – “Back to Mystery City”
Look, I’m not saying I needed Hanoi Rocks any more in my life than the footnote they always were – I’m just saying I have been digging Back To Mystery City – and there’s no way that could have ever been the case were it not for the 1001 Albums Book (and Challenge). So. There. Sometimes […]Archive
