Saturday Music Mix
Another day, another random music mix. Why not? Kilo Kish – Collected Views From Dinner Kilo! Not a bad start to things. And if you ever get a chance to see her live – even virtually – you should. She’s awesome. clipping – Baby Don’t Sleep Ooh, fun. About a guy being hunted while also being literally lost in space. Sisters of Mercy – This Corrosion Aww yes! Rise up, my old school goth fans. Listen to a bedrock hymn of our ghostly people. My Chemical Romance – Thank You For The Venom Ha! Rise up my emo people, for here is one of your foundational bands. (For Infected readers only – this is Dylan’s favorite band. Really!) The Twilight Sad – Dead...

We’re just going random again. Let’s see what we get. Metz – Blind Youth Industrial Park I did not realize this had a big video attached to it, but it does. It’s a weird one. Future of the Left – Arming Eritrea We are developing a shouty/loud theme, music wise. Pretty much par for the course for me. Murder City Devil – Bear Away This is one of those rare songs that I think is better in its live form. Why? Listen to it. It still slaps. Zeal & Ardor – Devil Is Fine This is a slight deviation from the theme, but not really, because most Zeal & Ardor songs are ten times harder than this. But the lyrics fit perfectly. Babymetal – Distortion And here we have...

Holy shit, what a rough week. Let’s try and distract ourselves with some tunes. clipping – Blood of the Fang Considering this week – and honestly, the last few years, decades, century – this feels like an ironically dark and appropriate opening gambit. I mean, the “Hands up don’t shoot” line is the first honestly chilling moment, and the second is the repeated line “They still shooting”. Yeah, they are. And Diggs’ flow could kill us all, but so far he hasn’t weaponized it. yet. Police Teeth – Send More Cops Can an ipod weaponize sass? Because, wow, coming after Blood of the Fang? For those not in the know, the line “Send more cops” is from the horror movie Return of the Living Dead....

So I decided to do another random music shuffle, to prove I’m alive and still writing. Sometimes while I’m writing I have my ipod on shuffle and listen to whatever, and sometimes an interesting mix comes up. And this is one of them. ** Grove – Fuck Ur Landlord You know you’re in for a fun time when this one kicks everything off. Elliott Smith – Ballad of Big Nothing Talk about whiplash! Although the songs have something in common – they’re both very angry. But only Grove sounds like it. These Arms Are Snakes – Horse Girl Please get used to this musical phase shift. It happens quite a bit with me. Shredders – Xanthrax Another tonal and genre change. I think that’s the...

Read MoreThe 50k words playlist!
I’ve just crossed 50,000 words on my work in progress, Infected: Fallout! And on this occasion, I’ve put together a little playlist of what I’ve been listening to, and what may have some relevance on the new story. This song might actually give away some of the plot, but it’s so vague, I feel it’s pretty safe. I’ve said Crystal Sword is very much a song that reminds me of Roan. Well, this is a song that reminds me of Holden. (Yes, he’s in the story.) Also in the story? Grey. Feel free to to guess why this is the song for him. Dee did say that Roan reminds him of an Elliott Smith song. And yes, Dee’s here too. Got to have some nice, heavy instrumental rock. Which is...
