Machine Head -- Blatantly honest writing & brutal performance. Few vocalists have reduced me to shivers. [I listen to MH almost exclusively while driving... Tip: If you hit heavy traffic when Burn My Eyes is on, just change the cd before you kill someone.] |
|
Corrosion of Conformity -- I never tire of listening to their Deliverance album. Pepper Keenan is vocalist #2 in the shivers realm. |
|
Alice In Chains -- Not enough words... Layne Staley was, well, let me just say he will never have a rival. [This AIC site is "maintained" by Sony Music, the lazy suits...] |
|
The Cult -- Much much too much fun to listen to. Warning: tends to incite random tribal dancing if played at high volume while cleaning. |
|
Bauhaus -- For that heliophobic part of me.... Side note: The movie Night of the Demons, while pure hilarious crap-horror, has one great scene featuring Bauhaus' Stigmata Martyr. |
|
Blind Melon -- Okay, so I have this thing with addict musicians... it's still great stuff. Rest in peace Shannon... |
|
Tool -- The strangest mixture of eloquent cursing, pure genius writing, & subtle subconscious annihiliation. I have yet to hear anything I don't like from them or any side project. |
|
Fear Factory -- Exactly what their name makes you think of. Haunting melody hidden within an all-metal non-stop construction site. Interesting dreams if you fall asleep with Demanufacture on. |
|
Music Magazines & E-zines |
|
East Coast Romper -- I've quietly watched this music website/zine go from tiny to nationwide. Has some excellent information on both up-n-coming music as well as been-here-for-a-while artists. |
|
Hit the Pit -- I've never seen so many music reviews in my life. A most incredible artist & cd review archive listing. Good sense of humor, too. |
|
Revolver Magazine -- A no-b.s. heavy rock magazine for the intelligent metal fan, or the mindless backyard-wrestling moron. Where else could you get a year subscription for $12? |
|
Skratch Magazine -- A free magazine that should charge a boatload. Tons of info on the non-mainstream music [mostly punk & skate] scene in Southern California [& elsewhere]. |

Pittbull - Hardcore from Motor City Detroit. Finally returned after nine years! If you catch their show, say hey to Justin for me... |
