TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #28: MIKE'S HARD HATERADE

 TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #28: 

MIKE'S HARD HATERADE

by Chris La Vigna (@Chris_LaVigna)

Drink up, ya goons!

Today's brilliant broadcast of TERMINAL TRANSMISSION was a smashing success, and a welcome break from all the unpacking and settling in I've been doing since my big move. I feel even more comfortable in my own skin as a digital broadcaster, which helps me as I adjust to living in a new space.

This prolonged election nightmare was a real endurance test, but one thing that helped ease the pain was the fact that System of A Down, dropped not one, but two--count 'em--TWO new songs! I couldn't help but play them both at the top of the show. It's bittersweet though, because the cause that pushed the band to record and release this new material is one that's been a source of rage, sorrow, and inspiration for them for decades now--the continued aggression and genocide against Armenia from Turkey. Even though the band has been at odds creatively and politically in the past, they're still friends who are capable of seeing the bigger picture and uniting when necessary. I sincerely mean it when I say that that is some inspiring stuff.

My "Bandcamp Pick Of The Week" was the song "Multiple Miggs" by The God Awful Truth, a kick ass mathcore band from Texas that my buddy Danilo Servian told me about. Their new album "Memory Palace" is so mind-fuckingly good, I had to listen to it back-to-back to make sure it rocked as hard as I thought it did (spoiler alert: it does indeed rock). If you're a fan of heavy music, you truly owe it to yourself to check out this band. Seriously, you will be in an eternal debt to yourself and you will be forced to pay what you owe, plus interest, in Hell for all eternity, if you do not listen to his band. So it is written, so it shall be!

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...
