Tattoo Blog (Free subscription) | yesterday
I think that anyone who has tattoos or plans on getting tattoos can easily identify with the desire to have something from one of your idols tattooed on your body. That something can be anything from a portrait of your favourite historical figure, to the lyrics to one of your favourite songs, to the logo [...]

"In the Dirt" from the album Ghost 2009 iTunes On their debut album, Ghost , San Diego's Tape Deck Mountain (the trio originally released everything on cassette tapes) sound like they're striving for sonic immortality. Many of the seven proper songs (not counting two interludes) sound like tributes to heaven: soaring music that could be the background for a ritual sacrifice. "Ghost Colony"...

A band I have been keeping my eyes on for a few weeks — Them Crooked Vultures — is a week away from releasing their debut album.

Them Crooked Vultures is a supergroup . Over the least few months the internet has been raving about this band and their upcoming new album , which is due very soon. The band, knowing just how to appeal to the world's internet citizens, has uploaded their entire album onto Youtube so anyone can hear it for free. Will this hurt their CD sales? I very much doubt it. The three people who make up the supergroup...

I was downloading Kyuss when it was uploaded so I guess that was fortunate. I was downloading it because I was doing a bit of Josh Homme research, just because he's an interesting fella I suppose and he has done quite a lot. I'm annoyed at the genre tag of 'stoner rock'. I didn't know what that means before I listened and I still don't really understand now. I don't know who the vocalist for Kyuss...

Don't judge the genre name, I didn't choose it. I enjoy this album greatly, I have no idea how I came to hearing this album but at first I decided it was nothing special. Then I listened to it again while very bored and realised that it was a really good, kick-ass album. I think the strongest point of this album are the riffs which I find to be catchy and hard hitting. The songs are a bit long, but...

I seem to be going thru an early-to-mid 90's alternative rock phase at the moment. It started the other night when I was sorting out the web hosting for Mrs DM's counselling business.. Needing something to help focus my mind and drown out the constant background noise of Corrie, bickering monkey jnrs and shouting neighbours, I opened up itunes, plugged in my headphones and cranked up Fu Manchu's Daredevil...
