KENEALLY'ING IT UP: Everything Mike says below about this wonderfully bizarre piece of music. But just wait for the ending. đ
THE CONTENT WE NEED RIGHT NOW: Dethklok + Mastodon + Municipal Waste + Die Hard + Rocky + Lethal Weapon? Covering King Diamond's "No Presents Until Christmas"? Yes, we need this, and deserve this. Especially today. Also the holiday season has officially begun. I can already hear Brendon Small saying "you're welcome".
Mastodon + Dethklok + Municipal Waste cover King Diamond's "No Presents for Christmas"
Happy Halloween/Christmas/Channukah! We covered King Diamond with Brendon Small (Metalocalypse! Galaktikon! HOME MOVIES!) but it was Brann's idea. This is ou...CONRAD ST. CLAIRâS FREAK SHOW: In another installment of a continuing âwhoâs really taking lessons from whom here?â series, Conrad St. Clair is back for your mind-blowing pleasure. This time he masters the impossible hammer-on/pull-off ascending licks from Steve Vaiâs âFreak Show Excessâ. Even when I was playing it every night, I wasnât nailing it this smoothly. But then he goes a step further and plays **some of Steveâs guitar solo** on bass. I mean, WTFF?! In all seriousness, amazing work. Follow him, and his stylistically unpredictable but always-deeply-grooving band Kicksville!
And if you feel up to tackling some of this crazy stuff (or any of the stranger tunes in my back catalog) in a Skype lesson, just let me know. I know a guy. đ
THREE YEARS AGO TODAY: I took this picture with an iPhone on a hiking trail near my house. It ended up as the cover shot for "Scenes From The Flood", an album about disillusionment, and human nature confronting hard, unrelenting realities. A lot has happened since then.
VOTE.
So wait, in this remake from the early 1960âs original, Rupert Murdoch is Bill Buckley and Fox News is National Review and The Trumpers are the John Birch Society? The writers, my god.
Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto takes the rare step (for Fox) of cutting into Kayleigh McEnany's lie-filled press conference about the election.
"Unless she has more details to back that up, I can't in good countenance continue showing you this."
