D.X. Ferris, the cat who brought you nine books, a podcast, a comic strip, original Xmas songs, and love unlimited. Two books about Slayer. One about GoodFellas. 32° PM. DDP Yoga. 3rd dan. My weekly show is Talkin’ Slayer. Detail-age at linktr.ee/dxferris
The updated version of my Slayer band biography runs 639 pages — and now you don’t even have to READ it. The audiobook is available at Bandcamp. And it’s CHEAP for an audio production that runs 1.4 days.

I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.
ICE recruitment is going well.

Eric is truly one of the best interviewers—subscribe and buy the book!
For reasons that remain unclear to me, the best podcast for rock & roll books invited me back. I can’t say enough about host Eric Senich; he’s a class act all around. He deserves better than me & my malarkey.

Never forget the time in 2020 Charlie Kirk (dead now) pretended to be a black guy on Twitter but forgot to switch accounts when giving himself a nice compliment.

Perfectly different and traditional. There's been a lot of rockabilly or surf Christmas music since, but no one else has done it this well.
