Absolutely.

Beautiful day for a walk in Philadelphia.

It's Friday and the weather here is so pleasant. It's also a therapy day for me. Looking forward to unloading some thoughts and hopefully feeling some personal growth.

Explore the cosmos with black metal duo Antihælix and their mind-bending new album, 'A Serpentine Staircase Into Oblivion.' www.decibelmagazine.com/2025/10/01/f...

One of my favorites of the year just arrived. ANTIHÆLIX - A Serpentine Staircase Into Oblivion. I need this soothing chaotic hypnosis after such a punishing day. antihaelix.bandcamp.com/album/a-serp...

The show on Friday with Qual, Void Vision, Nuxx, and DJ Baby Berlin was excellent. Void Vision is truly special. If you ever see this Philly woman coming to your town, do make the effort. She's carved out her own unique sound and presence.

A fine day for Crypt Sermon's Saturnian Appendices.

Lard - The Power of Lard EP. Hellfudge is fantastic. Time to Melt is a gem.

Sunday outdoor reading. Just arrived in the mail yesterday. I was beyond excited when they announced a fully bound collection of every issue of GWAR's Mind Control Monthly. I was a loyal subscribing bohab from around mid-'94 to the end.

Tonight! Should be an awesome show of contemporary goth, industrial, electronic, etc. Always love seeing Void Vision. Very interested to see Qual. He does a fair amount of vox on the new Rhys Fulber album that just came out, which I unsurprisingly love in its entirety.

This Oranssi Pazuzu song is stuck in my head a lot lately. I love the lyrics, if the English translation that I read is to be believed. youtu.be/eyjYNYfNoBs?...

Good morning. Watch out for those drivers at Stop signs. I witnessed one driver blow through an intersection while I was crossing. He seemed genuinely confused as to why anyone would think he should stop. Guess he wasn't familiar with shapes/colors/words. It's chaos out there, happy Monday.

Fun night out on Passyunk Avenue last night. At some point I felt compelled to take these pictures from one of the bathrooms in The Pope.

Anyone here sitting out front on a porch/deck/stoop on this warm but breezy September evening listening to Ulver?

It's Friday and I am washing the chaos of the week off me as best I can by making seemingly small but important human connections. That and hanging with the neighborhood cats 🐈 🐈‍⬛️

Tomas Lindberg 😥 RIP.

More pictures from a wonderful Sunday stroll along the river.

Currently getting high on Jon Hudson's solo on Ashes to Ashes from Faith No More's Album Of The Year and these colors of the sky, water, and land.

A Riverwalk along the Schuylkill is healing me. Listening to Dead Kennedys' Frankenchrist and saw this similar view.

Scenes from the park during the Sunday Market.

Somehow this happened. Pulp in Philly. Spike Island sounded amazing.

Tonight! So excited to see Crypta for the second time! Also Ghoul and I've kinda lost count. And what will Spiter be like? I'll share later.

Current music in the ears while sitting in front of my house and the view of the clouds above me.

TV Talk - I have not been going through the latest season of The Bear as quickly as previous seasons. But S4 Episode 3 - Scallop has brought me back wanting to binge the whole season with the use of Love and Rockets' Haunted When the Minutes Drag.

I've been slowly savoring Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for like two years. Long since finished every side quest and powered up so much armor because I don't want it to end. Finally powered up the Ancient Hero's Aspect to the max, which means next time I play, I'll probably finish the game 😢

Last week was incredible seeing Nine Inch Nails on Wednesday and then Youth Code, King Yosef, and Street Sects on Thursday. Still processing it, and still on a natural high from it all. Here are some visuals of Youth Code and King Yosef.

Always fun to check any notes on setlistfm after seeing a show. I can confirm all of this happened.

Youth Code and King Yosef were so awesome live. Go out of your way to see them if you can. Pics to come.

I am now at Street Sects, King Yosef, and Youth Code for the Industrial Worship Tour. Still so full of energy and euphoria from last night's NIN show.

Aaaaahhh everything about this Nine Inch Nails tour was beyond words. I had seen and heard comments and video and everyone is absolutely correct. Nothing can convey what it is like to experience this current NIN firsthand. It was unreal sensory transcendence if that makes any sense at all.

The calm before Nine Inch Nails 2025 Peel It Back tour.

One of my favorite four-album runs begins here. I have finally completed this outstanding quadrilogy of Front Line Assembly records with this new Caustic Grip pressing from Wax Trax.

Ok but I would skip my own funeral if she ever played the original version of Silence live with Delerium. weraveyou.com/2025/08/sara...

Neighborhood cats chilling. The one by the tire was lounging until I pulled out my phone to take a pic. That's why he's getting up. Probably doesn't want his pic taken, otherwise the momma from his litter will come after him for kitty support.

Pics from Friday night. Try and see Information Society if they come around. Totally fun times, and also they do a cover of Sisters of Mercy's Dominion/Mother Russia? And it's cool? Yes, it is cool. They even recorded it on Orders of Magnitude. I know! I didn't know about it either.

If any of you recall Tapping The Vein from Philadelphia circa 1995 to some nebulous number in the mid 00s, I'm here to so they are back and they sound as fantastic as ever. Heather's voice is unbelievable. Still able to sing those incredible songs as though it was the summer of 1997.

Tonight! Dancing Ferret! 30th anniversary! Phillygoth! Information Society! Ships in the Night! The reunion of Philadelphia's own Tapping The Vein! Haven't seen them in over 25 years! So excited for this!

Pictures from my Friday river walk. Part 2. Good mental health day.

Last Friday off during summer. Today's scenic river walk.

Finally beginning Alien: Earth. The year is 2120.

May the weekend greet you kindly, friends. This guy right here just slayed an 18 year-old beast. I finally paid off my graduate school loans. I shall proceed to party all weekend and I hope you do too 🎉🥂🌌

This got lost in the mail for about 2 weeks, took a ride around the US according to tracking, and unfortunately got dinged up in transit. I'm barely bothered, as The Arsonist is my favorite Sodom full-length since probably M-16. Also loved Genesis XIX, and this one feels like a jump well past that.

Almost running out of having Fridays off during the summer. Doing some chores around the house at a leisurely pace. About to go outside and feel the sun in a bit. Listening to one of Coil's greatest. Happy Friday, friends.

This subway car on the Broad Street Line smells like...butterscotch? Very pleasant and totally unexpected.

Scenes and colors of nature from the week.

In MTV years, I am "Metallica's One doesn't sound right unless I hear it with the 'Johnny Got His Gun' samples" years old.

I come from the lands of dune grass and other coastal flora.

The beach and the current beach tunes. ☀️🌊

Hazardous Voltage monster out here doing serious damage⚡️⚡️⚡️

Not familiar with the list in reference here, but these are my favorites from 1988.
