    The Bloody List with David Musser

    Mix the psychodrama of Bret Easton Ellis, with a dash of the macabre of H.P. Lovecraft, and sprinkle in the style of Bram Stoker and you maaay... have tapped into the mind of horror author David Musser. A dangerous spelunking it is indeed to delve into this hilariously entertaining soul that is dying to cut you... a new crack in your imagination! From the music behind his creations, to the sardonic execution of his tale of the dark passenger, we uncover what is most frightening in his works, as well as timing those humorous moments. We dive into Musser's books, The Bloody List: Letters from a Serial Killer, The Devils Well and his work with London Blu, The Last Call and so much more on the development behind the inspirations.

    Painted Vein

    Andrea Volpato ignites the room wherever he may roam, and as he states this "hang" disguised as an interview (we are good) opens realms of emotions behind the song writing process. Songs like "Lay Down" and "Left Behind" scratch the surface that we so penetrate to bring the musician's marvelous talents to the forefront. Be inspired! Listen to the thoughts behind modern day rock in the form of "shoegaze or darkwave" but so much more, and some of the best music on this planet! One of our very favorite of the new bands and this episode is truly a passionately inspirational interview. Always check out our videos on YouTube for selected episodes!

Straight outta' Vegas and coming to a town near you, it is the most fantabulous time you'll ever have, if you missed the Beatles in their prime!
