TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #26: HALLOWEEN HELL 2020

 TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #26: 

HALLOWEEN HELL 2020

by Chris La Vigna (@Chris_LaVigna)

Silver Shamrock ain't messin' around this year...

Today's broadcast of TERMINAL TRANSMISSION got off to a rocky start thanks to some tech issues (although this time they weren't my fault!) but hey, that's indie media for ya baby. What matters is that Sheri and the crew got it fixed, and your boy got to do his big Halloween week show! So what if it was a little late? Better late than never right? RIGHT?!

My "Bandcamp Pick Of The Week" is the song "The Color Red" by Zaurya, a dope metal band from Westchester. From what I can tell, the group was born in the midst of the terrible pandemic and quarantine that will ultimately go down as the defining event of this year (perhaps even this decade, depending on the severity of the fallout), and y'know what, good on the people involved for gathering remotely and making some cool heavy music. I salute you, Zaurya!

If you missed the live broadcast, you can stream it here via the Kpiss website. You can also catch up on past programs here. Thanks for tuning in, and even more thanks for reading this little blog post of mine. Remember, every night can be Halloween if you simply keep in your big, bloody, beating heart!

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...

A Poem: "Richard Bachman Tina Turner Overdrive"

  Richard Bachman Tina Turner Overdrive by Chris La Vigna ( @Chris_LaVigna ) "May a thousand apocalyptic sirens Sing me to sleep I can’t be held responsible For what happens otherwise Condemned to roam the chasm Between calling and craving Evoking a certain style of desperation For maximum engagement These electric eldritch abominations Won’t let me die I’m the closest you’ll ever get to a hero Yet I’ve stolen so much Love simulations Rage amplifications Resonance, dissonance, dissidence, decay I can give it all away For the proper price Video violence Stretching the bandwidth Your identity rests On how much you can take I’m the closest you’ll get to a hero But I can’t save you Too busy staring Into a time loop mirror Birth, growth, rot Birth, growth, rot Ad infinitum Ad nauseam Still figuring out the difference All I know is: Legacy Is A Lie ...
