Brutal Truth - Sounds of the Animal Kingdom (1997)

Going to bring my opera glasses and sit in the balcony for Nile/Cryptopsy so I can watch the drummers

George Thorogood looking like he just opened the Ark of the Covenant

Man I remember back when Sallah was playing shows our guitar player couldn’t see without his coke bottle glasses but they would always fly off when he was headbanging so we joked about getting him a pair of Rec Specs

Fan theory: Addams Family Thing is just a hand that broke off of John Carpenter’s Thing

One of my favorite things when I was teaching high school was the students vs teachers basketball game. One year we had this teacher that used to play pro ball and holy shit, the students got absolutely wrecked. Dude was in his 50s and dunking on the entire men’s basketball team.

Dog tried to steal a lamb chop so I instinctively let out a death metal scream full blast and now I have one traumatized dog and three traumatized kids but five lamb chops

“You should always separate art from the artist” and “You should never separate art from the artist” are both bad takes

Self care

Hey guitar players - In your estimation, how long does “new string sound” last? Like, how many 5-minute songs can you play before the new string sound goes away?

In extremely good company

My partner: “Always do A, never do B” Me, with ADHD, two weeks later: “Always do A or B, never do A or B”

High risk drinking fountain

New Suffering Hour fuck yeah, keep the black metal weird and disgusting

If the 90s are back in style where tf the Zubaz at

Jurassic Park Scientist 1: “It’s shooting lasers out of its eyes! How can it shoot lasers out of its eyes?!” Jurassic Park Scientist 2: “There *are* some species of tree frogs that, when threatened, can shoot lasers out of their eyes. It’s rare. But we did use tree frog DNA…”

This fucking dumbass. “In my defense, I had a great time”

The other metal professor on campus got promoted to Metal Assistant Provost so now I get to troll him by stealing his fancy parking space

This one time I was on a tour of a WWII battleship and someone asked the tour guide (this grizzled old navy vet) how loud the main guns would be if you were standing on the deck and he was like, “Not loud at all, because your head would be caved in from the shockwave” dudes rock

This is probably fine

Ernest Goes to the Spank Bank (2025)

Fucking ridiculous, that’s enough power to travel back in time 8 times

Holy shit y’all I’ve been eagerly awaiting the new Conan album and I just found out it came out in *fucking April* like… I have no idea how this happened off my radar. I follow them on social media, I feel like abducted by aliens and/or CIA mind erasure is the only explanation.

Chicago hot dog joint in Louisville was fuckin legit

Motherfucker if I get raptured before I finish this fucking EP…

saw a guy get raptured but when he was floating up in the beam of light he started jerkin’ it and the beam dropped him. he’s dead, he’s dead now and in hell

old lady with the blood fire death bag

Tracking guitars for the new Unshored EP in my office, stepped out to get a coffee and *barely* remembered to go back and mute my guitar, that mf would have been just feeding back horrendously for like 15 minutes though honestly I should probably just do that every time I leave campus

RIP to my friend and fellow teacher/artist/metalhead Jon Bollo. He was a few years older than me, and there’s a certain kind of care that older metalheads often show for younger metalheads that’s really beautiful. He showed that to me. Just one example… [1/2]

Paul Simon - Graceland and it remains one of my favorite albums ever

Here’s my take on this discourse: I have a student who wears metal shirts to class every day Today I was supposed to go to Louder Than Life, but I had a family emergency and couldn’t go So I just gave my ticket to the student who wears metal shirts Dress how you want, kids

Online multiplayer games should have an over 40 league

I was introducing a bunch of different schools of film theory in class and when we got to the Marxist theory I was like, “Don’t worry, I’m not brainwashing you into being Marxists, I promise.” And then I flashed this slide for like a fraction of a second and then moved on.

Fuuuuuuck, not Tompa… one of the best to ever do it. Had the absolute privilege of seeing him with The Crown at the Fireside Bowl in Chicago and the man had a power and charisma and dedication that was indescribable. Nearly brought that tiny venue to the ground. RIP legend.

Saw this in the gardening group, A+

“Hey toots, I’m never gonna forget YOUR twin towers!”

I forgot Conan was playing a show in Chicago and I missed it

I'm going to Louder than Life next week and this lineup is bonkers, I'm gonna die

100% stealing these shorts from my 5yo daughter

This got posted in the Simpsons group and it’s gold

Millennials killed the sex maze

Drums are the hardest instrument to learn because when you start out, not only do you suck, but you suck and it’s extremely loud

Holy shit this stretch is so much more painful than it looks

I fucking hate active pickups, stupid fucking battery powered-ass guitar [my battery died]

It is release day for me! The best way to support my new album "The Burden of I" is to buy on BC either digital from me, or tapes from @fiadh.bsky.social Leaving a quick BC Review is a huge boon, and any shares, posts, etc all help as well :) Thank you all for the continued loved and support <3

You shouldn’t keep food in the same bag as your computer, or: how I learned that a chocolate almond fits perfectly into a USB slot

Lady on the street stopped me today: “You have a very good shoulder-to-waist ratio” Yeah baby, still got it

mfs be out here thinking Weekend at Bernie’s was a documentary

Sooo is Medusa's bush made up of tiny snakes?

When I’m not listening to ripping thrash and brutal death metal you’ll catch me bangin English electro-disco because I’m a well rounded individual
