TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #48: WIFE GUY DIRECTOR

 TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #48: 

WIFE GUY DIRECTOR

Paul W.S. Anderson & Milla Jovovich: The ultimate cinematic power couple

Today's broadcast of TERMINAL TRANSMISSION was fun and swept past nice and easy. I felt like I was in good form throughout and didn't stumble or lapse into awkward silences too much. Hell, I've only been doing this for almost a year now, who would expect me to actually be competent at it?! Well, I guess I would! The good news is: I am competent at broadcasting, and I'm getting a little bit better each time I do it.

I'll be honest: the last week or so has been insanely stressful and rough for me for mostly personal reasons. I've just been trying my damndest to balance out various aspects of my life that I've been juggling for far too long, and I'm at a point where I'm going to have to set some things aside. Eventually, this show might have be one of those things, but for now we're going strong. For years now I've been taking a "throw everything against the wall and see what sticks" approach to life, and I feel that it's time to stop throwing blindly and focus on maintaining positive growth with the things that have stuck.

My "Bandcamp Pick Of The Week" for this week was the song "Tear You Apart" by Synthwave artist Megan McDuffee, a terrific and even more erotically-charged cover of the classic 00s dark electro-pop hit by She Wants Revenge, off her covers E.P., cleverly named "Barely Covered."  Miss McDuffee is an insanely talented and prolific artist who has al lot of cool Vaporwave and video game score music on her Bandcamp page. I highly recommend checking out her stuff and giving her some financial support in these trying times.

If you missed the show when it was live, you can stream it here via the Kpiss website (there's also a mobile app now!). You can also catch up on past programs here.

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...
