We LOVE this band, this song, this ALBUM! “Love Without Sound” was written mostly by Delia Derbyshire with David Vorhaus and Brian Hodgson under the group name White Noise. Derbyshire was only in the group a short time but her contribution to the songwriting on Love Without Sound and FirebirdContinue Reading

We love a good, BAD movie and this one checks most of our boxes off. Visually, this is an amazing time capsule; a trip back to the 70’s with an unruly gang of skull helmeted motorcycle hooligans. Completely my jam. • It’s got 1970’s bikers, raising hell in the UK.Continue Reading

This is a great scene from a pretty decent teen angst flick/comedy-romance film. Summer School is worth watching just for the scenes with Chainsaw and Dave. It’s hard for me to fathom that Carl Reiner of Spinal Tap and All in the Family fame directed this movie, but he did.Continue Reading

I stopped into the family columbarium today to pay my respects and wandered around the mausoleum and chapel for a while. While I am by no means a religious person I do find these places great to decompress, clear my mind or sometimes think. I am a huge fan ofContinue Reading

The cemetery is right next door to Sunnyside Cemetery but an entirely different graveyard separated by a chain-link fence. I am moreContinue Reading

If you don’t know this album, get acquainted. Aske is a game-changer in many ways. Politics aside, this is an amazing album. Dark, brutal and full of hate. When Varg said something, he meant every word of it. From the burning and vandalism of churches and cemeteries to the murderContinue Reading

This little cemetery is old enough to have a lot of headstones instead of just the flat grave markers. I saw a couple as early as 1898. I did notice some missing headstones, podium toppers, and plaques; vandalism of cemeteries sucks. The staff did not seem to mind me millingContinue Reading
