Lacuna Coil - Sleepless Empire Even if it doesn’t chart new territory and the instrumentation tends to get blurred, it’s still a grand gesture in a discography chock full of them. Far from becoming complacent, Lacuna Coil go into the night raging.

new at IHTOV, from me. i went long on @kevinpdevine.bsky.social's "make the clocks move" but really one specific song. this is deeply personal and deals with alcoholism and a fading relationship and a really profound song that changed me fundamentally ihavethatonvinyl.com/liner-notes/...

It’s the doom of the inevitable, captured through quotidian details that bring a heavy sense of wonder and sanctity to the ordinary as it slips away. Bonus: Ranciere and the Politics of Fiction in a review of an obscure English folkie spectrumculture.com/2025/02/18/r...

Universe Room advances yet another glimpse into Pollard’s particular songwriting style while offering up a sense of energy that belies the man’s 67 years. spectrumculture.com/2025/02/17/g...

Life is messy, full of ripping highs and crushing lows, dancefloor bliss and the wee small hours of the morning. On her debut album, Biig Piig captures that exquisitely. spectrumculture.com/2025/02/11/b...

Hurry Up Tomorrow feels like Tesfaye’s attempt at summing up everything that was great about the Weeknd as a project, but unfortunately, it’s clear that no one ever brought a knife to the recording sessions. spectrumculture.com/2025/02/09/t...

Writing abt #TheLocust , the #SanDiego-bred group of misfits who redefined hardcore as the 20th century morphed into the 21st, is just a fool’s errand. They wrote and performed in jagged bursts and raging threnodies. A record review. @spectrumculture.bsky.social spectrumculture.com/2025/02/04/t...

Even though there is deep-rooted inconsistency present on Airbag Woke Me Up, Jeshi is on his game more often than not, and he shows throughout that he can meet his ambitions when it suits him. spectrumculture.com/2025/02/04/j...

The newest record by Belgian doom metal act Wyatt E. shows a serious willingness to innovate while keeping two feet firmly planted in the lumbering funeral march of doom metal. spectrumculture.com/2025/02/03/w...

Prison’s sophomore record is a loose, largely improvised tribute to primal rock noise that doesn’t try to outdo its influences. spectrumculture.com/2025/02/02/p...

You can trust me with your secrets because I will not remember them or your name

Woke up to the first acceptance of the year, nice way to start a Friday.

More and stronger, I get it, it's a race to see whether it'll bankrupt me or drive me insane.

I still want to share embarks on a journey into heaviness in a tradition less accustomed to it. spectrumculture.com/2025/01/22/s...

In case you were wondering about fortune cookies: mine yesterday said "You will reunite with old friends" and then today I woke up to someone wanting to talk about a murder my friends and I were tangentially involved in 25 years ago.

I was more willing to forgive problems with Netflix shows when it cost $10 a month.

On one hand, yeah "private taxi for my burrito" is a world-ender of a line. On the other, what differentiates DoorDash or whatever from the pizza delivery guy, except that late capitalism and the gig economy has undermined said pizza guy's already precarious position?

Every time someone in my family asks what I want for my birthday, and I have to give a SFW answer, it's a Roland S-1. Putting that energy out there.

Jewel I'm asking you - no, I'm begging you to answer - who will save your soul? www.thedailybeast.com/jewel-embrac...

One day I'm-a get my stuff on that Short Fiction list, but for right now that Stoker prelim ballot has SO MUCH great stuff on it. I'm excited to see all the names and works I've come to know and am excited to read all the stuff I haven't read yet. Novel is going to be a hard decision!

The Manchester indie band’s debut album is a tale of two bands caught up in one body, neither of which seems comfortable with the arrangement spectrumculture.com/2025/01/21/d...

Detonate the suicide bomb I had strapped to my chest mere moments before.

Watching Jackie Brown illegally on Twitter. I regret to inform you that Bluesky could never.

Up Now: There are moments on we will be wherever the fires are lit where you feel like you can peek behind the curtain and achieve some sort of enlightenment,

There's a thing in Fortnite that's basically this but it's Juice WRLD and it's deeply disconcerting.

Up now: Like all of Full of Hell’s collaborations, their Andrew Nolan team-up Scraping the Divine has the feeling of an experiment going mostly right. spectrumculture.com/2024/11/25/f...

Did you know we have a podcast? Well, we just recorded one with Eef Barzelay from Clem Snide that is coming soon. In the meantime, check out our latest episode, featuring the fellas from Oneida. Listen here: spectrumculture.com/2024/09/11/e...

JIGSAW: all your life you've really drowned people to death in urine by being late all the time VICTIM: boy I don't like where this is going

Honestly the publishing industry is so absolutely cooked at this point that every agent rejection is just like "Your boos don't bother me, I've seen what makes you cheer."

Threads is wall to wall writers, I dunno what kind of Threads you're experiencing.

Are we gonna start labeling things Twitter like we do Reddit? Atheism is reddit. Star Wars is reddit. Sports are Twitter. Crypto is Twitter.

Today, in "things you randomly find in the bargain bin"

For me it's definitely:

Pearl Jam is a cum joke. Alice In Chains is a reference to bondage. Nirvana is a brand of flavored anal lube. Soundgarden is, uh...umm...*flips through cards* It's uh...something about...feet maybe? Mudhoney I feel is pretty easy to grasp, though. These grunge kids are perverse.
