Sunday Slither

Velvet Revolver - Slither

An underappreciated band

hat tip to Razorfist for letting me know about these guys. Could have sworn I posted them here before, but I couldn't find it anywhere, so here ya go:

Liege Lord - Broken Wasteland - Master Control (1988)

More songs from films I like

BURNING SENSATIONS - Pablo Picasso

Movie songs Sunday

Lost Picasso (I Don't Want To Be)

Sunday strain

Christian values being espoused in hip-hop songs is just as rare today as it was in the 90s. So I do have to give special mention to Lauren Hill for not just doing so, but actually being successful at it with this hit. Unfortunately, it seems she had something of a mental breakdown not long after her hit, and she really just kind of disappeared from the music scene afterwards, as she really couldn't make the magic happen again after that.

Lauryn Hill - Doo-Wop (That Thing) (Official Video)

Daft Punk - Derezzed

TRON: Legacy never grabbed my attention like the original movie did, but you certainly can't fault it on it's utterly amazing soundtrack. 

Daft Punk - Derezzed

Lofi meditations

Relaxing 

90sFlav - Call me

Not so guilty

Was riding in the car with the other half, and she put on a playlist on Spotify called "guilty pleasure songs" I dunno who was making that list, but it was pretty evenly split between songs that were pure awesome that no one should feel guilty and ones that are pure garbage that I have never heard before. In any case, I think they work on the title of that one. On the other had, my love affair with the new wave of new wave goes on as I never get tired of that sound.

All the Damn Vampires - I Can't Go (feat. Mint Simon & Sunglasses Kid)

Dos Gringos - Going in for Guns

Okay, I dunno how Dos Gringos escaped me for so long, but it's the perfect mix of military humor and music. They do a good range of music styles, but it's mostly old-school country styles, American and Irish folk, and a little bit of rock. Careful, there is some NSFW language in there. Of all the songs I heard from them this one is my favorite, but World War 3 was also pretty good. 

Happy Pioneer Day, everyone!

Because it's the one holiday that's more American than the 4th of July, we gotta celebrate here in Utah. Also, because I didn't actually see this one on Instagram when it was posted on Independence Day, here's the coolest thing you'll see this month: A guy in a flight suit playing the star spangled banner on a Tomcat branded electric guitar, while standing on a Tomcat. Sheer awesome.

Work For Love - Ministry

Good vibes

Just some relaxing tunes for Sunday

FEVER THE GHOST - "Calico"

In Megadeaths

 Why does everything they do sound so freaking awesome?

Ride the wave

The new wave of new wave scene has some pretty darn good stuff out there:

Futurecop! - Into the Light (feat. Kabelle)

Maracaibo before Monday

Benny More - Maracaibo Oriental

Lazy Sundays at Vic Fontane's

James Darren - The Way You Look Tonight

We're not getting out of here alive, but neither is that Thing

One of my favorite pastimes is to play this soundtrack in the dead of winter when going to my car and driving home after work, while enjoying all the blue lighting outside. Really sets the mood. 

Also, rest in peace to the masterful Ennio Morricone. 

The Thing (Complete Score) - Ennio Morricone

Sunday Secret Treaties

Also, talk about a killer choice for an album cover with an Me 262.

Blue Oyster Cult: Astronomy

Saul on Sunday

In other news, Breaking Bad was a pretty good show, but I'm really enjoying the spin off Better Call Saul a lot more, as he was easily one of the top three characters in the show.  Most of the characters in Breaking Bad were pretty unlikable, so I'm glad I can watch a show revolving around more of the actually enjoyable characters. 

Little Barrie - Better Call Saul Theme

and just for kicks and giggles, all the original Better Call Saul promos:

Forgotten Films: House (1986)

House is a movie that isn't talked bout that much these days, and I really doubt it was talked about that much when it came out either, but it's worth checking out as a solid B-movie horror flick. 

Now, I'm pretty picky about my horror movies, and I personally cannot stand ones that just revolve around nothing but gore-fests and jump scares, or even the popular slasher flicks. I prefer my horror movies to have a sizable psychological element to them, and this one fits the bill.

The movie is paced a bit slower than most, but it builds to the ending. Its a bit of a twist on the standard haunted house idea in that the house has no dedicated spirits haunting it, but it preys upon and amplifies the deep fears and pains of it's occupants, in this case, a Vietnam Vet with deep regrets revolving around his son and his wartime experience. The house itself is really cool as well, and I wouldn't mind living in it, provided it's not supernatural as in the film. 

It does have it's issues, but overall the movie is pretty good, and I like to think (but it's not likely) that the movie's Vietnam antagonist was inspired by Stormtroopers of Death:
