Read MoreThe Next Six Chapter Titles/Songs From Infected: Legacy
I’m not dead! I’m getting better! And as such, here’s some more chapter title songs. Yes, there’s a lot of chapters. (But fear not! Some are short.) Paradise Lost – Small Town Boy Sure – What’s Left Glaare – Young Hell Pony – Chokecherry McClusky – Dethink To Survive Spirit of the Beehive – There’s Nothing You Can’t...
Read MoreThe next six chapter titles of Infected: Fallout
Oh guys, I have so many chapters, it’s kind of nuts. 7 – Administrative Violence 8 – Fixed and Dilated 9 – Coming Up Roses Dee thought Dylan and Roan were a kind of living Elliott Smith song. No, this has nothing to do with anything, why do you ask? 10 – Boot Soup I mentioned once that this song sounded like a very Holden one to me. No, this has nothing to do with anything, why do you ask? 11 – Bulletproof Heart My Chemical Romance has shown up twice because Dylan admitted to Maya they were his favorite band. I always knew Dylan straddled a line between Goth and emo. 12 – The Old Man of Crete This song has clever wordplay that a couple of people in the story would...
Read MoreThe first six chapter titles of Infected: Fallout
I decided to share the names of the first six chapters in the upcoming Infected: Fallout. Most of my chapter titles are simply songs, and they don’t necessarily tell you anything about those chapters. Or do they? Hmm .. 1 – Kodokushi 2 – Deconstructing Self-Destruction 3 – Boy Division 4 – Pretty Face 5 – Far From Ideal 6 – Tell Me When We’re Having...
Read MoreRandom Weekend Music Mix
It’s been a bit, so here’s a new playlist to remind everyone I’m still alive, and still writing. Smile Machine – Pretty Today Ethereal, shoegaze like vocals over grunge influenced rock. Sounds good to me. Divide and Dissolve – Far From Ideal (Chelsea Wolfe Remix) Starting off with some big feminine energy here, and I like it. Of course, from the ethereal to the haunting, with more than a little anger in it. D&D and Wolfe should collaborate more. Chvrches & Robert Smith – How Not To Drown A man finally shows up, and it’s Robert Smith. Somehow that seems appropriate. Hands up – who guessed The Cure would have so much of an influence on modern music? Antonioni – Mouth...

Bandcamp is doing a charity thing for Juneteenth – June 18th – and I thought I’d share some of my recent discoveries, on the off chance that maybe you’d like them too.

Fiddlehead – Down University Zeal & Ardor – Run Backxwash – Spells Breanna Barbara – Big Bang Blues Dogleg – Kawasaki Backflip Death Hags – Off/On Pleasure Venom – We Get What We Deserve Spartan Jet-Plex – All The Time In The World Svalbard – Open Wound Divide and Dissolve – We Are Really Worried About You Gumiho – Underwater Meat...
Read MoreRandom Music Mix
It’s been a bit again. Sorry. But let’s enjoy a random weekend music mix. Igorrr – Downgrade Desert I once asked people for music recommendations on Twitter, and this band was suggested. They’re really weird – like you couldn’t tell that from the spelling – and therefore right up my alley. Peeping Tom – Mojo (featuring Rahzel & Dan the Automator) Oh, speaking of weird, here’s one of Mike Patton’s many side projects. If you didn’t know, Patton has so many side projects, I know for a fact I can’t name them all. Nice if you can keep that busy. Cry Club – Robert Smith Don’t know a lot about this band, except it’s a couple of queer Australian musicians, and the song is catchy as...
Read MoreCharacter Theme Songs
Ever since I mentioned that I felt Roan’s life had a theme, I realized a lot of my characters did, but I hadn’t shared them. So I’m doing it now. In a couple of cases, the characters had an opinion that differed from mine, but they won. Roan Of course, he kicked this all off, when I revealed his life’s theme song, as I saw it, was Modest Mouse’s Dashboard. Because the repeated theme of “It should have been could have been worse than you would ever know”, as … yes. Roan’s life has been a bit like a slow motion car crash, and yet somehow it’s still not the worst case scenario, and he knows it. But the major conflict was in picking a personal theme, as Roan would personally pick a dozen songs, all shuffling...
