Mundane Mondays: Ring A Ding Ding!
December’s hit, and not before too long so will the endless plains of snow, if they haven’t already fallen by the time this reaches you. You’re going to see a fudge-ton of holiday cheer running around the town as everyone lights their menorahs or plugs in their Christmas lights to light up the season. (Personally,...
Mundane Mondays: Deep Six, Or What We Use to Refer as The Seattle Sound Which Later Became Grunge
As a teenager who grew up in Washington state(Parents who entered the 90′s as 20 year olds probably influenced this taste as well.), it was only natural that I grew up with the genre typically referred to as grunge. Now normally I’d say genres are getting too convoluted to define, but grunge technically shouldn’t exist....
Mundane Mondays: Doo Wop
So November has rolled around once again. Students are getting antsy after a stressful decathlon of midterms and projects. Depression rolls in as winter creeps over with its welcoming first week of snow before it gets tiresome. Couples split, lovers quarrel, and there’s just not enough turkey to fill the void in your life, when...
Mundane Mondays: How to Assemble the Perfect Halloween List (Horror Movie Score Edition)
So it’s finally that time of year again. Halloween is here and unfortunately it’s on a Monday. This won’t stop a lot of you, like myself. If nothing else I’ll make it essential to the night to watch at least one horror film. Something that makes horror films so good is the score a composer...
Mundane Mondays: How to Assemble the Perfect Halloween List (Deathrock Edition)

Deathrock is typically considered to be punk with elements of new wave or goth rock. The topics are generally influenced by old sci-fi and horror films,...
Mundane Mondays: How to Assemble the Perfect Halloween List (80′s Soundtrack Edition)
Now I could have put down obvious songs like “Thriller” or “The Ghostbusters Theme” but these are normally part of everyone’s Halloween lists. This week I’m going to help you pick some synthesizer heavy rockin’ tunes to dance to. Well, that and some fun dreamy punk stuff. I’ve been going through some old horror movies...
Ozenza – Hear Was Here
It’s tough to be an underground metal band, especially when one is as sludgy and brutal as Ozenza. Bands like these often carry a smaller but dedicated and loyal fanbase. Hear Was Here is a sporadic mix of hard hitting doom metal and melodic stoner rock; A little slow for the average metal fan who...
Mundane Mondays: How to Assemble the Perfect Halloween Playlist (Psychobilly Edition)
By: Nico Thomas Last week I touched on how to embrace a goofy Halloween list. This one is more focused on a punk and rockabilly influence, thus Psychobilly, the combination of these two elements. The genre typically discusses such scenarios about 50′s satire, alien invasions, zombies amongst society, and usually gory subject matter. It’s an...
Mundane Mondays: How to Assemble the Perfect Halloween Mix (Novelty Edition)
October is finally here! Soon the mild winds of autumn shall be playing with the assorted reds and yellows of dead leaves. Jack-O-Lanterns will emit with an eerie orange glow as carved faces smile and scream. Cobwebs will decorate the homes of college houses with hanging spiders and shrieking noises. But what soundtrack is appropriate...
