Slave to the Grind
Watching Slave to the Grind, the Death/Grindcore doc that covers the genre from its roots in British hardcore punk to whatever the hell it is supposed to be today, I don't feel as if I learned anything more than that members of Carcass were also in Napalm Death (big surprise), and that Seth Putnam (a self-destructive mini-ogre who died in 2011 of a heart attack; making one to wonder if AxCx ever had a song called "You Died of a Heart Attack") was hated and generally derided as a hate-filled, pathetic, drunken, drug-addled bastard. (Another big, big surprise.)

Top Death Metal Videos
Death. It's what's for dinner (after the long, slow lunch buffet of life). Whether or not you "savor the salt" of your earthly existence, or clench your jaw and raise your fist at the capricious whims of an unjust God, you can't deny that, once upon a time, death metal was poised to go mainstream. Of course, that never happened, despite certain bands courting major label success.

My Favourite Front Man: Honouring Steve Harwell
Today we wake to the news of 90s alt behemoth, and lead singer of Smashmouth ,Steve Harwell's untimely death. As I have talked about on these pages, I am a music nerd. I'll listen to anything once, and many things twice. A lot of things, several. I've played piano since I was a child, so the ear was prepped, but still, Smashmouth remains the most pleasing to the ear for decades, and true masters of the story song - genre jesters doing their thing on every single one of their tracks, whilst staying true to their 1960s, easy listening vibe, even incorporating ska and punk elements, with that 90s edge. To me, true pioneers.

If You Don’t Read This …
If you don’t read this you will probably never know of these songs or these artists. People are often restricted by the media, what they grew up listening or other factors, I am the same, although Janelle Monae’s “Dirty Computer” is one of the most impressive albums I have ever heard and that is relatively recent but there will be none of that on here, this is taking you off the beaten path and down the unsigned road and I could drag in something for the #LikeNoOther series that I started on Seven Days In.
