TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #19: GO TEAM VENTURE

 TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #19: 

GO TEAM VENTURE

#VENTUREBROSFOREVER


Today's episode of TERMINAL TRANSMISSION went great, even if I was feeling a good deal of melancholy the entire time. Venture Bros has been cancelled after seven years and seventeen years of being on the air. I basically grew up with this show, and it felt like the characters grew up with me. Hearing that they've been cancelled as Publick and Hammer were writing the eighth (and supposedly final) season makes it hurt even more. It feels like losing an old friend without getting to say goodbye.

I hope one day we manage to get a proper finale for the series. I feel like the creators and the fans really deserve it. VB getting cancelled is truly the rotten cherry atop the shit sundae that is this terrible year of our lord 2020.

My Bandcamp Pick of The Week was the song "Undertit" by Another Astronaut, a pop punk band from Bronx that knows how to bring the good tunes and the good times. I felt they'd be a good fit for a broadcast centered around a show that loved space and high-energy shenanigans. I also played some J.G. Thirlwell, Weep, David Bowie, Duran Duran, and more.

If you missed today's broadcast, you can stream it here via the Kpiss website. You can also catch up on past episodes here. 'Til next week everybody. And, as always...

GO TEAM VENTURE!

TRACK REVIEW: PET WIFE - BAD WAY

 TRACK REVIEW: PET WIFE - BAD WAY by Chris La Vigna ( @chrislavigna.bsky.social) Once again I am dusting off the blog to conjure up some words about some cool music that I feel that you need to check out.  Life has been an absolute chaotic psychic minefield as of late, and if you're like me, you're grasping for any piece of art to get you through the day, let alone the next four years or so. With that in mind: folks, it is my supreme pleasure to report to you that Brooklyn's PET Wife is back at it again with some more electro-pop realness. As if releasing their excellent album foam set this past spring wasn’t enough for us, their latest single, “ BAD WAY ” dropped in early October, and it has come to work its way to the top of all of your future Halloween/ Year-round Darksynth playlists, especially if you’re trying to organize your own D.I.Y. version of the blood rave sequence in Blade . It's a dark and dirty song, fast and ferocious, clocking in at one minute and fifty...

TRACK REVIEW: MAINTENANCE - "LOW LIFE"

TRACK REVIEW:  MAINTENANCE - "LOW LIFE" by Chris La Vigna ( @instant_insanity_productions ) "Alright, who's been putting 'shrooms in the dog food again?"                           It's been quite some time since I've felt compelled to post anything on this blog. Life comes at you fast, y'know? I suspect the fellas in Maintenance, who in my opinion are one of the most consistently interesting bands in the 914 music scene, would agree with that particular truism.  Though the band has been playing plenty of gigs over the last year or so, they have been largely quiet when it comes to dropping new music.  It's more than understandable when you consider just how deep of an impact the Covid-19 pandemic has had on not only the local music scene, but musicians and venues across the country. We've all had to adjust, re-organize, and re-prioritize what we've been doing with ourselves in some way or another. A...

You Should Be Watching YOUR PRETTY FACE IS GOING TO HELL

You Should Be Watching YOUR PRETTY FACE IS GOING TO HELL By Chris La Vigna ( @Chris_LaVigna) Slacker demon Gary Bunda (Henry Zebrowski) and his co-worker Ben (Ben Bladon) are doin' a Party Hole thang. You wouldn't understand. Life is Hell, right? That’s a sentiment we can all generally get behind, especially when it comes to our jobs, which seem to consume the majority of our existence on Earth. Well, what if the afterlife proved to be just as monotonous, mind-numbing, and (literally) soul crushing as your office job, with all those co-workers you hate and that supervisor that pisses all over you? That’s the premise of the Adult Swim show YOUR PRETTY FACE IS GOING TO HELL, a workplace comedy about demons working in the pits of Hades, taking Satan’s orders to get more souls. The show wrapped its fourth season in early 2019, and in the interest of promoting it to get it some more eyeballs and possibly help secure a fifth season, allow me to dive into all the...
