This Toilet Tuesday (10/22/24)
Gather around the rim, good Dumplings, and take a look in the still waters. What do you see but a reflection of yourself (and maybe a skid mark or two)? We have always lived in the Toilet. This week we’ve got Poop Pee, manhood removal, and the irresistible drive to make shiddy portmanteaus. It’s a particularly eclectic genre mix this time around, so be careful! The undertow may bring you to locations unknown…
Vokonis – Transitions (Majestic Mountain Records) [Doom / Prog Metal]
Huh, I wonder if that combination of title and color scheme means anything. It’s a mystery! Jokes aside, the two songs Vokonis have up for preview are some pretty banging doom of the old school bluesy metal variety. They’re full of big, rollicking, bouncy riffs that are a lot of fun and showcase some tasty guitar work. Simple but enjoyable. 10/25/24 (Spear)
