Artist Playlist: Alastor's Psychedelic Smörgåsbord

Alastor recently wound up in our laps and gave us a spectacular three track psychedelic doom record for the ages.

If I was going to start doing yearly Top Ten Lists, they'd be on it fo'sho', but I let others write those lists.

Here's a good look at what these gents are spinning or what's spun them into who they became.

LP Review: "Black Magic" by Alastor

Black Magic

The hardest thing for a lot of people is being able to stay composed under duress.

For myself, it's kind of a super power. In less than a second, Crisis Nik can come to the fore.  Being as normally, your friend and humble narrator, is a rather silly person, it's a shock to people when they see this for the first time.

It's something that has been very, very useful over the years. My entire demeanor changes. No longer, is it possible to be distracted. My focus becomes laser focused onto the issue at hand.

This is even the case in issues regarding my family. We all have emergencies in the family from time to time. Being able to stay calm, focused, and composed is really useful. Now, what's harder is when it's about music. You may  have noticed I play a bit of guitar.

Truth be told, I'm more of a guitar owner than a player.
