No Randy Jackson GIF Alt: Randy Jackson says, "Yeah, that's gonna be a no from me, dawg."

How I know I'm old: "*Doors* at 9"?

I have felt like absolute shit for the last week+ so by this point my light at the end of yet another week (and it's only fucking Tuesday) is new music from Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean and Misotheist dropping Friday. #metalsky

ugh fuck it feels like my lungs are trying to have a baby

SOCIETAL LEECHES, by Fetal Speedball 6 track album

Antifascist death metal in bite-sized chunks #metalsky fetalspeedball.bandcamp.com/album/societ...

*4* strikes? is that like double-secret probation or

I was today years old when I learned there is a conspiracy theory that posits that Kurt Cobain is still alive and walks among us...

...as Rivers Cuomo. 🤯

tested negative for flu and covid; chest xray came back fine, too. most likely just some generic asshole virus i'm gonna have to outlive. if anyone needs me i'll be over here involuntarily prolapsing my lungs through my mouth.

Yeah, I took it last time I had the flu and it really helped. Not sure if this is flu, a bad cold, or something else. About to be seen; hopefully get some answers.

I don't get very sick very often, but whatever has got a hold of me has got me well and truly fucked up right now. Hope the local urgent care can get me in before they close.

Upon The Infernal Altar, by Foul Temple 8 track album

This album starts off fine, if unremarkable, but builds to a fucking walloping ending #metalsky

I took my daughter to see him on tour in Philly the summer before last. Not my scene, but he's clearly very talented and it was an enjoyable evening.

Also, he's from Jersey, so... 🤘

Same, I had a few from the mid 90s I pulled out for this but the ink is almost completely faded

Once I started I couldn't stop. Not sure what that says about me...

It was fun going back, especially trying to remember some of the shows from college and early post-college years. I was also helped by the several year gap that was full time work/having kids/doing two grad degrees back-to-back where I didn't have time, money, or energy for shows

Apropos of nothing but my kids turned 18 and 21 this week and it's got me feeling... some kind of way.

Deadyellow

Trha

Barbelith

Trhä, Barbelith, & Deadyellow, Warehouse on Watts, Philly, 2/6/26.

Might have been my fourth or fifth time seeing Deadyellow; this was the first time I've heard them play a cover (Nirvana's 'Drain You'). #metalsky

This Sunday, we're all Seahawks fans.

In a dramatic departure from character, I have positioned myself at stage right instead of my usual stage left to watch this evening's show.

Also, I assumed this would be the case but got confirmation that advance tickets purchased for Ortliebs will be honored at WOW tonight. #metalsky

Bonus points if they're tasks your boss should know how to do but doesn't, or does but you do them better so you just, y'know... might as well. ⚔️

Frail Grasp of Broken Hands, by Phosphorus 5 track album

I keep coming back to it. Such good post-black. Give it a shot on this BCF; your ear holes will thank you. #metalsky

Let Us Not Speak Of Them But Look And Pass On, by Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean 4 track album

It's not out for another two weeks, but any Bandcamp Friday is a good day to buy Chained #metalsky

chainedtothebottomoftheocean.bandcamp.com/album/let-us...

Any Philly folks going to Trha tomorrow, I just got a Bandcamp notification that the venue was changed from Ortlieb's to Warehouse on Watts. Ortlieb's hasn't updated their socials but it's on WOW's event calendar. #metalsky

They were great in Philly; enjoy!

Me, in the audience

sorry, that sucks. I've been following them for a couple years and I only ever recall seeing their live dates as being around the pnw or west coast; did a literal triple-take when I got the bandcamp notification about these dates.

Good people of East Coast #metalsky - be advised and act accordingly.
