I know they're not going to do it, but how amazing would it be if they ended #ReturnToSilentHill with the dog ending?

Probably not the compilation update you (or I) were hoping for, but got the word that all 3 pending compilations with my tracks (2 Fornever and 1 Premature Burial) have been pushed back to next year due to label delays.

Exactly two years ago, an album came out under my instrumental experimental project, Premature Burial, that I consider one of my best both artistically and sonically. Chronic tackles themes related to living with chronic illness. Give it a listen!

Finished Silent Hill f last night, and it's kind of cool how I had no idea what was going on through most of the game, but now, after the ending, I'm still having revelations where everything from the events and characters to the game structure make sense and have deep symbolism.

Saw #DangerousAnimals at a mystery movie showing yesterday. Was a solid entry in the overcrowded tour boat captain/serial killer feeds women alive to sharks genre. But you know he was extra crazy, because he did a Buffalo Bill underpants/robe dance. Fun thriller/horror flick.

The Residual Hauntings album came out 2 years ago today (as a sequel to my 2005 album Ghosthouse, based on unfinished songs/demos from that era). I went a bit dark with the first single (lol), but I still love this song. The rest of the album isn't this depressing, I promise.

Why are the nature sound effects so over-the-top on old Western shows? It's like, "Well, how are you supposed to know it's night without fake crickets drowning out the dialogue?" or, "It's a bird orgy, like you hear whenever you step outside. I'm assuming. I haven't been outside before."
