i feel like once you've made it to the drop nobody is allowed to be mad. they had like three whole minutes to be mad but now that time is over

the missing link between Big Black esque 80s noise rock and 90s midwest emo. spooky scary but also sentimental

everything good about my psyche is predicated on a childhood spent thumbing through semi-interesting reference materials

the fat stack of weird old paperbacks and your aunt perming your mom's hair is how great writers are made. i don't think culturally we've developed any substitute

both great writers, neither exactly subject matter experts

tasteful lighting and considered posing

i think i own like 2 band t shirts but only because i hate wearing t shirts in general lol

hi sorry i took so long to see this--Vol 7 is currently unavailable due to a technical issue, and i also can't ship internationally at the moment

(in case you're wondering what's behind the patreon paywall, its none other than my acclaimed History of Heavy Metal zine series, currently being republished online for just 2 bucks a month)

the style has had pretty amazing staying power. its in that rarefied space where the "revival" has lasted longer than the original thing did, at which point we begin to wonder if its not a revival at all and maybe the whole thing's just immortal

Just made it to volume 2 in there (of 7 and counting), good way to check out the series IMO

(also i post some random other stuff too, got some rants on pop punk and emo percolating rn)

double nickels is literally the best guitar album of the 80s. better than any shred or metal album (and the guy ran 012s. monstrous.)

the second best double album of the 80s (after Double Nickels on the Dime of course)

luv the skirt
