Anne Dudley (The Art of Noise) & Jaz Coleman (Killing Joke) - Songs from the Victorious City (1990) - truly a one-of-a-kind collaboration... unfortunately, it's one of those gems that got unfairly buried under the shadow of the main bands led by these two incredible creative forces.

I'll cast my vote for Jaz; the guy is a straight-up genius.👍

There’s a slim chance more than two people actually bother to vote for this or give it a listen, but I honestly don't care. 😁 Those who do decide to take the plunge will discover just how insane the melodies, riffs, and lyrics really are, considering the entire thing was crafted by a single individual, Alexander von Meilenwald.

It’s one of those tracks where you can almost smell the stale coffee and hear the rain hitting the pavement in a city like Chicago or Seattle. There’s a certain kind of heavy, beautiful exhaustion in his delivery that most artists spend their whole lives trying to fake, but he just lives it. It reminds me of those long, grey stretches of late autumn in the Midwest when everything feels like it's just waiting to freeze over. You find yourself spiraling into these deep, rambling thoughts about time passing and how little control we actually have over any of it. It’s bleak, sure, but it’s honest. And in a world full of polished, manufactured pop, that kind of raw honesty is the only thing that actually feels real anymore.

That’s a killer line: "November is basically the Monday of months."

The Fourth Crusade

I somehow ended up installing Spotify just so I’d have something to listen to during my morning walk to the office. Honestly, the sheer volume of music available on there is impressive, and so far, I haven't found anything to complain about.

Prowler in the Yard

A total grind masterpiece.

Aside from Monday, Tuesday is easily the worst day of the week.

The Wait

Eye for an eye

Big country blues

Just throwing this out there as a potential topic, but honestly, I think
Undertow is their best Album.

Honestly, 10,000 Days and Ænima are easily the worst Tool albums in my book, and man, 10,000 Days is just desperately bad. I used to blast Ænima constantly back when I was in college; both that and Lateralus were my absolute go-to records whenever I needed to lock in and focus on studying. I’m actually a little embarrassed to admit how long ago that was 🧐

Chrch - Unanswered Hymns

The kind of sludge/stoner stuff I live for.

The Munsters - Famous monsters



1. Kong at the Gates
2. The Forbidden Zone
3. Lost in Space
4. Dust to Dust
5. Crawling Eye
6. Witch Hunt
7. Scream!
8. Halloween
9. Pumpkin Head
10. The Scarecrow
11. Kill it, kill it, kill it!
12. Hellraiser
13. Angel
14. Them
15. Fan Club
16. Monster Hunt
17. Helen 40:44
18. King Kong

dance Helen!!!

Through the good days and the rough ones alike

Love, not just some fleeting feeling😁

That’s actually a great call. I’ve got one killer album in mind that would be perfect for a themed week like that.👍

BOOM!!

My old man listens to this stuff all day long just to keep his blood pressure steady.😁

Corrosion of Conformity - Blind



A little bit of dirty stoner rock!

Even though I haven't heard it, that reminded me of a heavy prog metal album I once stumbled upon. I listened for maybe ten minutes before I had to pull the plug just to protect my own mental health 😲 (and she comes off very masculine, even though you can tell from her interviews that she’s definitely a woman)

Orders from the dead

Check this out—it covers the Great Fire of Smyrna, which was sparked by Turkish forces, where a massive number of Greek women were assaulted. The way they blend Greek and English is honestly brilliant, and her vocals add this incredible layer to the whole thing. It’s a masterpiece of a song, even if the subject matter is absolutely horrific.

This is one of those rare cases where music actually teaches you something about history that your textbooks probably glossed over.

p.s. I'll post more in the morning; I'm too exhausted right now to be coherent.
