TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #60: A SHOW FOR LLOYD-O

 TERMINAL TRANSMISSION #60: 

A SHOW FOR LLOYD-O

by Chris La Vigna (@Chris_LaVigna)

ALL HAIL LLOYD-O!


Today's TERMINAL TRANSMISSION was an awesome time and a great way to ring in sixty episodes of this weird little internet radio show. Lloyd-O has long been a mascot for all of my creative endeavors, so it's only fair that he get an entire hour of KPISS digital airtime dedicated to his glory.

 My Bandcamp featured artist was a Chilean death metal band called Phantasmagore, and I played the track "Insurrection Or Submission" off their new EP of the same name.

Sadly, I think this is going to be my last post-show write up. As much as I've enjoyed doing these in the past, they've become more and more of a chore for me as of late. And let's be real, who the hell is actually reading these things anyways? Don't get me wrong, I'm aware that that statement could apply to pretty much every entry on this blog of mine, but even the lowest-clicked Q-Recs got more traction than these. 

Honestly, I think the main reason I kept these posts going is because I knew that without them, my blog would fall into another long bout of inactivity, and I didn't want that to happen. But things are changing for me-- for the better! I have more film projects that are beginning to get off the ground, and I'm going to need to dedicate more time to them, so little things like these Terminal Transmission entries are just going to have to wind down as a result.

As I have mentioned before, eventually, I won't be able to even do Terminal Transmission anymore, but it'll be easier to fit the show into my schedule if all I have to do after a broadcast is post the show up onto the KPISS site real quick, as opposed to having to do that and type out a whole blog post along with it. And I'm still going to try to keep posting cool writings on this blog! WRITE 'EM TIL YOU CAN'T WRITE NO MORE will never die, at least not until I do!

Besides, I'll probably do at least one more of these for the very last T.T. broadcast anyway. If you missed the 60th episode when it was airing live, you can stream it here via the KPISS website. You can also catch up on past shows here. It's been real.

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...
