What, two lists of covers so close together? How is this possible? Actually, that’s pretty easy — I’ve been accumulating these for months. And coincidentally, there were 11 videos in the 11th list and 12 in this 12th list. What are the odds? Read More

For this set of quickies, I’ll be featuring covers, toys, and unexplored genres. As usual, the length of the review has nothing to do with the quality of the music. Read More

Well, geez, it seems that it’s time for yet another list of cool music videos. Featuring some familiar voices plus some new ones, they run the gamut from former presidents to gay cows to Canadian cuisine. Yeah, when I put it that way, it does sound Read More

In this episode of the Fandomania: Geek Music podcast, I talk to Alpha Riff. In the interview, we discuss the origins of my alias, Darth Aqueous, cyberpunk (especially Blade Runner), heavy metal music, the new album Riff is working on (which sounds like Read More

With more great talent than you can shake a stick at, the Backburner crew returns after four long years with a killer sophomore album, Eclipse. Given that their debut, Heatwave, appeared on my best of 2011, it’s no surprise that from the first notes, Read More

On this episode of the Fandomania: Geek Music podcast, I talk to Austin and Nathan from Smashy Claw about Nanobots, the ending of The Killing Joke, Breaking Bad (again), and which Iron Man is the best. Read More
