Morning Cup o’ Industrial

Ahh, KMFDM, so many years spent listening to you all and attempting to actually procure all of your CDs, did you know you were my first concert headliner? Yup it’s true, but that was during the Nihil album’s release so this, one of the better tracks to come out of KMFDM before their mainstream fans […]

Dragon Ball MMO?

I’ll be very upset if this game never reaches the American shores. As of right now it’s about to go into beta testing in Korea. The great bit, besides the cel-shading of the characters is that Akira Toriyama is doing most of the artwork for the game. I call dibs on being a Namekian woman!

Morning Cup o’ Industrial

Eh, as much as I enjoy metal, it’s not everything that I listen to. I find myself switching to a genre of music that got it’s start in the 80s but didn’t really come into its own until the early to mid 90s. One of the more prolific groups besides the atypical Nine-Inch Nails is […]
