pierced from within

twirling round with this familiar parable
Spinnin', weaving through everything life throws our way
Take a second to realize what a massive gift this is—just being here, breathing and alive

I had no idea Corey Taylor had made a guest appearance on those solo tracks.

The core, the foundation, the whole damn point of martial arts is everything except gaining an edge in some random street brawl.

Back when I was a kid, I used to train Judo, and my instructor was this former SWAT officer. He was incredibly blunt with us—he warned us straight up that if we ever used any of those techniques on a civilian in a fight, he would personally make sure our lives became a living hell.

I'm going to be late for the basketball game because I honestly can't bring myself to break this workflow mid-stream.

It’s about damn time we finally get a break from work today.

I’ve only got one wish

Yeah, I’m down with Neill myself—he’s delivered some absolute masterclasses throughout his career click. They definitely nail that Lovecraftian vibe; those dark, atmospheric horror flicks like Dagon are spot on

casualtinker6 said:I didn't realize he scored all his own movies—that's a cool bit of trivia, though I haven't sat through his entire filmography. His list of credits is honestly way too long to tackle. One that really stuck with me, both the movie and the soundtrack, was Ghosts of Mars. I was pretty young when I first saw it, but even now, I still think the music hits just right. 👍

Love Siege

I remember being such a sucker, renting The Thing from my local video store and staying up all night because I was too freaked out to actually get any sleep; it absolutely wrecked me. Prince of Darkness gave me that same kind of bone-chilling dread for some reason.

It’s honestly such a massive plus that Carpenter handles the soundtracks for his own movies; it's one of the main reasons I'm such a huge fan.

black metal

He’s actually pretty solid on Escape from New York, too. Like my colleague mentioned above, Chris might just be my favorite among that whole group of singer-songwriters; there's an authenticity to him that I really dig.

Willie is still going strong at 90 years old, 😁

It was the home base for a true maestro of songwriting eccentricity—the kind of guy where every local over 50 has at least one wild story about him and his legacy.

One of his best tracks features a melodic structure that would make the top 60s pop songwriters jealous; ever since I heard it, I've found myself walking much more carefully whenever I step onto a pier, a sailboat, or a ferry.

The legendary Tom Petty—it's heavy stuff, and if I started listening to him right now, I’d probably just end up feeling pretty blue. But he wrote songs about life in the South that actually feel real, avoiding all those tired clichés. 👍
