Gritty guerilla filmmaking at its finest, vicious exploitation that plays it 100% straight, a minor masterpiece of manic shot-on-16mm madness with enough verve and beautifully choreographed violence for ten big budget Hollywood action flicks. The hyperactive gore of Evil Dead meets the street gang mayhem of The Warriors, and it's better than both. The coolest. No film collection should be without it.

The kind of album that I would of been in love with in almost every stage of my life. A darkwave synth album full of all the goth sadness and dance pop that I love. Timeless and perfect and everything I love.

I love when a new band takes all my favorite genres of the 90s and mashes them up together. It is like they were raised inside my brain. Shoegaze and grunge mixed with Twee pop to create a super catchy and fun swirly album.

I know everything is going to be OK when I have a new Kelly Lee Owens album in my life. It is always a fun ride when you dive into one of her albums. Dreamy electronica that I can lose myself in. Like a euphoric musical blanket that you can wrap yourself up in.

An absolutely gorgeous album from my new favorite artist. I love it more and more after every listen. Emotionally complex pop that somehow sounds like nothing you have ever heard before but also comfortably familiar.

These Immortal Souls
Back in print hopefully for a long time, Rowland S. Howard’s first shining moment as a bandleader is finally here for all to waste away in. While some prefer him as a guitar hero, in my opinion RSH’s post-Birthday Party songwriting outshines the majority of Nick Cave’s solo material. Seriously, this album is a gothic masterpiece with miserific Edgar Allen Poe level lyrics to match, presumably written in smack-ridden London squats and left to marinate for years in ash-covered leatherbound notebooks. This version of Get Lost (Don’t Lie!) has received a pretty significant remaster that lets one pick apart it's punky, bluesy musical chaos a bit better, really highlighting each band member's contribution to the record. In particular, Genevieve McGuffin’s keys take center stage, sounding like a ragtime player hammering out notes on a piano ice sculpture while Rowland croons over it, singing about ectoplasmic stains and dangerous solutions. Swell Maps’ Epic Soundtracks and Rowland’s brother Harry make up the rest of the band, and with this trusted group Rowland eschewed his title of evil genius guitarist and became a full-on songwriting giant, leaving listeners to wrestle with the weight of songs like I Ate the Knife or Marry Me (Lie! Lie!). This album and its follow up I’m Never Gonna Die Again are essential, but it’s the underlying uncertainty of Howard proving himself and the feeling that things may come apart at any moment that make this one the best.
