Video: "Horde" by Hesperian Death Horse

When I was a child, a tween, a pre-teen, and into some of my adolescence, we learned about new music via music videos. TBS's Night Tracks, NBC's Friday Night Videos, and other non-MTV stations supplemented our growing desire for music.

In 2018, the art of the music video is dead. Most of them, on YouTube, are either lyric videos or performance videos. Hey, there's naught wrong with that, but concept videos are slowly fading into the rear view mirror.

In order to slow this descent into extinction, you can check out the lastest video from Zagreb, Croatia's Hesperian  Death Horse.

You can pick up the whole record over at Bandcamp.

Album Review: "Jedva Čekam Da Nikad Ne Umrem" by Pogavranjen

Jedva Čekam Da Nikad Ne Umrem

Years ago I had an old friend whom I always took to be a little bit weird.

I suppose my thinking he was weird is why my wife didn't much care for him...as she considers me to be about 8 cards short of a full deck.

Well, my buddy was a big fan of music. His musical tastes were a bit off the beaten path to say the least. He always told me about how when it came to music, for him it was the weirder, the better.

This fellow is the only person I have ever known to have a raging man crush on Mike Patton. Anything Patton did, my buddy walked over the CD shop next to his place and picked it up.  That is everything except Faith No More which he viewed as sellout crap that allowed Patton to be weird for a living. My friend's taste in music always stuck with me to a point.
