Nikki Palomino Dazed Johnny Thunders Remembered show 4/21/14 by We68 Radio on Mixcloud Fascinating discussion about Johnny Thunders
Live at the Electric Ballroom in 1990. Sadly, only audio with still pictures, but it’s better than nothing. Kill City Dragons was the band Billy G. Bang was in before Shooting Gallery, one of Andy McCoy’s post-Hanoi Rocks projects. Their album Shooting Gallery remains one of my all-time favorites, probably […]
Logged on to Twitter this afternoon to see a post from Dave Ogilvie saying that Bill “Kill” Kennedy had passed away today. Bill was one of the best engineers in the business, and a great producer too. Best known for working with Megadeth, he worked with loads of acts, from […]
Super stoked to hear about Coma Music Magazine’s upcoming covers compilation – industrial versions of hair metal songs [disc 1] and New Wave [disc 2]. Now, it’s always been kosher to like New Wave, but naturally it’s been about 25 years since it was OK to admit to liking hair […]
Just got back from watching Tyranahorse rock the VanMusic.ca Indie Pop Series at hte British Ex-Serviceman’s Association. Killer fierce set, even though I know Prophecy Sun [vocalist] was dealing with a strained voice. Anyway, figured I’d post the video to one of my favorite Tyranahorse songs: UPDATE: Just found a […]

Well, my Crackberry is a terrible camera for far-away things, gotta get a new point and shoot real camera, but I did get a couple decent shots from tonight’s Rammstein show at Rogers Arena in Vancouver: Just over an hour and a half for the main set, plus two encores. […]
A year ago yesterday ago we finished mixing this album at Vogville Recording. I was acting as runner/assistant to the assistant [Kurt Maas] to the mix engineer [Dave Ogilvie]. Seems like a lifetime ago, so much has changed in my life and I think also for The Rabid Whole. So […]
c0ndu1t just posted the brand new video for his single “Forever And A Day” off the new album Year of the Dead. Pretty cool!
Was just chatting on Facebook about an old Cracked.com article on female revenge songs, and I mentioned about this gem not being on their radar. Figured I should post a YouTube link in case any of my friends weren’t familiar and lo and behold I found an actual music video […]
“Fuck Me Pumps” by Amy Winehouse Chatting with my friend Val about skanks who figure they can sleep their way to the top, she mentioned this song. Love it, never heard it before. “Country Boner [Disco Viagra Mix]” by Puscifer Stumbled upon while deciding which Puscifer track to play on […]
I was reminded this afternoon of Hundertwasser’s architectural ideas as I logged onto Facebook and saw a friend had posted a story about the “vertical forest” being built in Milan: Bosco Verticale in Milan Back when I was doing design classes at Emily Carr Institute here in Vancouver, I heard […]
