The crisp autumn air and crackle of leaves underfoot are ripe for report card season. In line with the “Nostalbum,” series, yours truly would often get to pick out a CD (many of which will be reviewed) for a good report card in middle school. The time before Thanksgiving was…
Rage Against The Machine Inducted to Rock Hall of Fame- Nostalbum Review #1 “Evil Empire”
Three days ago Tom Morello accept the award alone on behalf of Rage Against the Machine. Controversy? Of course. But fuck the haters let’s kick out the jams! Seeing the news I knew I had to put my nostalgia glasses on and jumpstart my album review series. What better time…
From Shrekkin’ to Trekkin’: Body Transformation Series #1
I’ve been pumping iron since 2012. Prior to that, I took pride as a mountain biker, B minus level soccer player, and a former 10k finisher. Many of those years were spent as tye dye clad vegetarian so you can imagine the frame I was working with at the start….
BUY HALAL: A Practical Approach to the Israeli Conflict
What’s another fluid ounce of ink to spill on this never-ending war on stolen land? Wasn’t the Israeli decimation of Gaza in 2014 bad enough? Then the casualty split was 73 Israeli to 2,310 Palestinian- 70% most of which were civilians. The present death toll in Gaza creeps up like…

Kal Marks- New Lineup Same Great Headbanging!
I hadn’t seen the self-proclaimed “loudest band in Boston” since 2018/19, and was itching to get my fix of melodic -turned- screamo vocals, crunchy riffs, and wobbly bass patterns. When Kal Marks took the stage, I thought perhaps it was the opener as the whole band looked different. The original…
Weeding for Productivity
A prompt spurred by local writer’s group on the honing the craft. What weeds? Weeding is the process of picking what’s sapping nutrients from the garden. My hands are in the soil and I want my stories to grown into ripe zucchini sized tales of action, suspense, and betrayal. But…
House of Harm – A Gig “Weview”
House of Harm (HoH) is hands-down my favorite band of the past two years. My friends can attest to this with me always steering the night’s Spotify controls to their post punk latitudes. I was glad to catch them play a sold out crowd last July to commemorate the reopening…
RED HOT ! New Book Synopsis
In a world without atmospheric oxygen, one’s worth is measured by what they put up their nose. Borealis rebels play catch and release with the elite to extort o2 credits. Whips, chains, and a fair amount of broadcasted BDSM make them feared across the shadowed cityscape of Duvel. Robo acolytes…
Swimmers
Some bullshit inspired by Delicious Tacos “It hurts, they teethe,” some have said. That’s the whole point of breasts, boobs, knockers, milkers. They are to be milked. But women don’t want to be milked. In China, families spend more on imported milk formula than they do on rent. Don’t milk…
