Month: November 2020

San Antonio doesn’t get much in the way way of snow and cold weather, but it’s a cold one tonight. Put all the plants up to make sure they don’t freeze up. If I lived someplace colder, I’d wrap them up, but since I don’t a few days inside over the course of the winter… Read more First freeze of the year.

I sit here thinking of what I would like to write about. In the past that would lead me to not writing at all, but then I discovered that listening to a lot of music gave me something to write about and then a month of movies gave me even more. Occasionally I finish a… Read more November 29th, 2020

A while back I read about a short story that sounded interesting by writer Richard Matheson. In order to find it, I bought a big three volume collection of his short stories and enjoyed it. I wrote about it here. I had promised I would write about more of his stories and like all my… Read more Slaughterhouse – Richard Matheson

I received three albums today on vinyl. Mongrel’s Cross, which just released, so that’s amazingly fast. Black Death, which came shipped with the Mongrel’s Cross album, and Messer Chups’ Shock-O-Rama album, which has the great cover. I’m up to 12 albums now. Not sure how many I want to buy, but it’s cool to have… Read more Today’s Vinyl Delivery

Mongrel’s Cross, Arcana, Scrying and Revelation, released today. I’m just now getting the free time to really enjoy it. The Vinyl will come in a couple of weeks. It’s good Black Metal from Australia. I don’t think I’ve got anything else from Down Under, but this is definitely something that makes me want to go… Read more Mongrel’s Cross – Arcana, Scrying and Revelation

I was looking for something to watch that I could not pay attention to and would just be something interesting in the background. I failed with Blood Vessel, because I started it and couldn’t stop watching it. I liked 95% of this Nazi Vampire movie a great deal. I’m not sure I liked the ending.… Read more Blood Vessel (2019)

Horrorama is a book released this year with a great cover and three great novella length stories inside. Kind of a text EC horror anthology. The first story is about a man who gets a job at an odd self storage center with odder customers. The second story involves a camping trip into the woods… Read more Horrorama (2020)

Messer Chups, Spook-O-Rama, is a cool collection of Halloween themed Surf Rock. It’s a collection that really captures the psychobilly surf sound. I love the cover art and bought the vinyl, because I think it’ll look great in my collection. The album is a double LP vinyl and I think will be fun to put… Read more Messer Chups – Spook-O-Rama

Ruptural, Existencia Menos Uno, is a Black Metal band from Mexico. I can’t find much about them, but the music is really good. I’m apparently the only person who has bought the album so far on bandcamp. I’m not sure how I found them. Searching Google doesn’t really show anything. And there doesn’t seem to… Read more Ruptural – Existencia Menos Uno

Released Halloween Night, of 2020, Chainbreaker, Relentless Night, works the Thrash Metal music hard and heavy. Keeping us safe from the horrors of 2020. I liked the other album I bought from them this month and I’m finally getting around to writing about this one. I think I bought this one first and then bought… Read more Chainbreaker – Relentless Night
