TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #13: LUCK RUNS OUT

TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #13 :  LUCK RUNS OUT by Chris La Vigna ( @Chris_LaVigna ) "... Whatchu lookin' at, punk?" Today's broadcast of TERMINAL TRANSMISSION was another hit. I don't know, I just feel like the energy started high and never dropped, this was a great one folks. My "Bandcamp Pick Of The Week" was the new single from Old City , "Pipe Bomb." It'll be available to stream and download on Saturday, August 1st.  Look at me, breaking exclusive tracks and junk! I feel like a real broadcaster now! It's a great song from a great group, keep your eyes on 'em. I also played a song called "Brutal Streets" by The Reserves , A punk band out of Nashville, TN. I highly encourage you to buy the song directly from the band off their website. It's only two dollars, and 100% of the money from the sales goes to the Nashville Bail Fund and Black Love Resists In The Rust , a social justice organization based in Buffalo, NY. You ca...

TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #12: GHOST FOOD

TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #12 :  GHOST FOOD by Chris La Vigna ( @Chris_LaVigna ) Eat up! Today's broadcast of TERMINAL TRANSMISSION... kicked ass! I mean, who knows, maybe to my small band of listeners out there, it was just business as usual. But my business is sonic slaying, and brother, business is good! Business is booming! Business is giving you the business! And yes Master Shake, I am looking to expand my business, so take that! Soon, the whole world will be getting terminal with me! My "Bandcamp Pick Of The Week" for this show was the song "Take Time" by Shakeout off their 2019 album "Balance The Imbalance." They're a great two-man band from Yonkers, NY. If you like fun straight-ahead rock with some good pop sensibilities, check 'em out. Also follow the page 914 Collective , which is a group started by the band's singer/guitarist A.J. Chiarella. The dude is truly dedicated to creating and sustaining a strong cultural scene in Westches...

TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #11: ELSEWHERE

TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #11 :  ELSEWHERE by Chris La Vigna ( @Chris_La Vigna ) The ladies of Elsewhere are calling for you... Today's broadcast of TERMINAL TRANSMISSION went smoothly. Well, as smoothly as these shows can ever really go (hahaha). As a DJ I've clearly devolved into a screeching, riffing mess, shouting out song titles and trivia between random rants and noodling. But y'know what? I like it that way! I think it makes for a fun listen. It sure as Hell makes it fun for me at least! My "Bandcamp Pick Of The Week" was the gnarly song "Into The Glow" by Super Mutant . Very cool Grunge/Shoegaze band out of Westchester, NY. Looking forward to what they release next. I also played some Whitechapel, Sick Head, Lard, John Carpenter, and more.  If you didn't catch the live broadcast, you can stream the recording here . You can also catch up on past shows here . Until next time, you stark raving mad mutants! TT #11 TRACK LIST: 1.) Seatbelts - Tank! (C...

TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #10: DECIMATION

TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #10 :  DECIMATION by Chris La Vigna (@Chris_LaVigna) Bow down! Today's broadcast of TERMINAL TRANSMISSION was another great show, even if there were some minor tech issues. For some reason the levels on the right side of the speakers were lower than the left during the broadcast. I was still coming out in stereo, but it sounded a bit off, at least when I was live. Listening to the recording however, it sounds pretty much fine to my ears. Then again, my ears have taken loads of damage from a lack of noise protection during my teens and early twenties, so what the Hell do I know? So yeah, I've got some tinkering to do before the next broadcast, but again, I think it was a solid show in general. My Bandcamp Pick Of The Week was Nose Dive's new single " They Cage The Children ." Westchester's finest thrash metal band is killing it again. Can't wait to hear what they come up with next. Also, I briefly spoke about the Black Hills Legal Defe...
