Black Tongue Reverend

Black Tongue Reverend's debut album, Northern Burden, was released on February 27, 2022. The album is a four-track EP that blends heavy psych, blues, and stoner rock. The album was written and recorded in the summer of 2021 in Willow Glen Studio (aka Eric's living room) for very little money and a vague idea what they were doing. The album has been praised by critics for its gritty sound and its ability to bring the atmosphere of the past into a modern and personal context. One reviewer called it "a wonderful debut release" and "the embodiment of grit." Another said it was "a good debut EP" that "offers a granite sound that mixes Heavy Psych with Blues, passing through Stoner." The album opens with the track "Texas Freeze," which is a heavy, bluesy rocker with a driving beat and a catchy melody. The second track, "Northern Burden," is a slower, more atmospheric song with a psychedelic edge. The third track, "D

The Replacements

The Replacements were an American rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1979. Initially a hardcore punk band, they are one of the main pioneers of alternative rock. The band was composed of the guitarist and vocalist Paul Westerberg, guitarist Bob Stinson, bass guitarist Tommy Stinson and drummer Chris Mars for most of its existence. Following several acclaimed albums, including Let It Be and Tim, Bob Stinson was kicked out of the band in 1986, and Slim Dunlap joined as lead guitarist. Steve Foley replaced Mars in 1990. Towards the end of the band's career, Westerberg exerted more control over the creative output. The band was known for their energetic live performances, which often featured drunken and chaotic behavior. They were also known for their eclectic mix of musical styles, which drew on punk rock, power pop, and country music. The Replacements released 10 studio albums during their career, as well as several live albums and compilations. They disbanded in 199

Deep Space Wanderers

Have you ever wondered why humans are so different from other animals on Earth? Why we have such advanced intelligence, language, culture, and technology? Well, I have a theory that might shock you: we are not native to this planet. We are actually aliens from deep space who crash landed here around the time of Neanderthal man and thrived. Sounds crazy, right? But hear me out. There is some evidence that supports this idea. For example, did you know that humans have more genetic diversity than any other species on Earth? That means we have more variations in our DNA than any other animal. This could be explained by the fact that we came from a different star system where there were many different races and sub-species of humans. Another clue is our blood type. Most animals on Earth have only one blood type, but humans have four: A, B, AB, and O. And some people have a rare antigen called Rh factor that makes them Rh positive or negative. This could be a result of interbreeding betwe

An Echo In Time

I wrote this about 2009. The Rot Within: the time of american hegemony is over. the fractured state of american society and bilateral disfunction of the political apparatus are the main contributing factors. collective guilt, bankrupt corporate ethics and the lack of personal accountability fuel the disease that is killing the amerikan republik. the global neighborhood has caught a whiff of the decay and the buzzards are starting to circle. the potential for increased societal control of a mistrustful and mutually fearing population already divided by class and economics is at hand.

Watership Down

Watership Down is a 1978 British animated adventure film about a group of rabbits who escape the destruction of their warren and set out on a journey to find a new home. The film is based on the 1972 novel of the same name by Richard Adams. The film has been praised for its animation, music, and storytelling. However, it has also been criticized for its violence and dark themes. Some critics have argued that the film is too violent for children, while others have argued that it is a powerful and important story about survival and the importance of family and friends. The dark side of Watership Down is evident in the film's depiction of violence and death. The rabbits are constantly under threat from predators, and they are forced to fight for their lives. The film also depicts the death of several characters, including the death of Hazel's father. The film's dark themes have been criticized by some critics, who argue that the film is too violent and disturbing for ch

Adventures In Rust

I was trying to compile my Rust project for the first time and I was not prepared for what I saw. The terminal was spitting out a lot of warnings and errors, some of them I didn't even understand. I tried to fix some of them, but it seemed like every time I fixed one, another one popped up. I started to laugh nervously, hoping that this was just a minor setback and not a sign that I had messed up everything. Maybe Rust was not the best choice for a beginner like me. Maybe I should have stuck with Python or something simpler. But I was determined to make this work, somehow. I just hoped that the compiler would not explode on me.
