Pokemon Theme Song

The Pokemon theme song Like breakdowns and run of the mill hardcore, i also was fortunate to miss out on Pokemon. I was there, it was just a mercy of having to catch the bus for school at 7:17 every morning for school that i missed out on a lot of what Cheez TV were [...]

War By Other Means

War by other means – Trial I think i grew up at the right point, and avoided for the most part hardcore’s fascination with and mandatory injection of the breakdown. Boy, did it ever become a formula. It’s something for people to latch on to, i guess. And, besides prayer/honour/offering, dancing being the chief purpose [...]

I am a pancreas (I seek to understand me…) – Armalite There was a time in my youth i was almost wishing diabetes on myself.

Dream On Daisy

I should be more careful here, lest i [...]

The Polaroid Song

The Polaroid song – Allo, Darlin’ I’m completely aware of how grating and repulsive this music can be, and the faculties, expectations and prejudices one has to shut off to join the happy, carefree, well aligned, dancing masses, but when this song hits the “Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh” in its pre-chorus [...]

The heat death of the universe – Off Minor Off the three times Off Minor toured here, and of the six times i saw them (no big number,i assure you), it is this song that stuck out for me most. From the first time, not knowing a thing about the band, being completely confused as [...]

By staying here – Liechtenstein A year down the line update to say my love for this band and this album has not waned one bit. And also to say that my altruistic efforts to turn anyone i can on to Liechtenstein have on every occasion fallen so completely flat it will take some time [...]
