Mr Show

About a year ago I looked up the genius of what was a HBO television program from over 10 years ago starring Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, the latter of which you might recognise from his role as Tobias Funke in the show mentioned on a previous post, Arrested Development. His stand up is also [...]

The greatest television show of all time?

It’s a bold statement, but in times where it’s difficult to get a genuine laugh untampered by fake studio audience chuckles, a show that lasted a mere 3 seasons but kicked out some of the smartest, long lasting humour in American history is a good place to look…..It’s Arrested Development.
Ive found a few videos highlighting [...]

Want proof that humans aren’t really that impressive after all?

Asylum

This past week Necromag interviewed Stockton alternative clothing store, Enter The Asylum, owner Jon Dea about a new youth project.
The Asylum youth project, while keeping the name of the store lies firmly in the hands of the youths it seeks to support and entertain.
The youth project has a number of facets, organising events, youth clubs, [...]

Cheers Trent.

Once again Trent Reznor continues his one man crusade against the record labels, music industry and the world in general. Nin.com mentioned a few weeks ago that a Christmas gift was in order, and this gift was the sweet gift of visual freedom. Apparently the last few shows of their Lights In The Sky tour [...]

Total Brutal

Recently I am digging “Total Brutal” by Austrian Death Machine, a side project of Tim Lambesis, guitarist of  Metalcore band As I Lay Dying. As you may have indeed guessed from the front cover, the Governator himself is the basis for this collection of songs. Whilst technically a comedy metal outfit, the songs really are [...]

Repo! The Genetic Opera!

The Rock musical is a franchise that, fair to say, never really kicked off. Well, musicals in general have done very little to stir the imagination of late, the last film to attempt success was last years Sweeney Todd, which was pretty good in visual style, lacked songs catchy enough to warrant a second viewing. [...]

The Weekend in Rock.

One of Newcastle’s cluster of goth clubs holds a special gig this month with the performance of an act familiar to internet users everywhere.. 
The name 404 Error took a bit of a double take for me. I thought the code had simply messed up when it was listed, but apparently  they are the brain child of front man [...]

I KNEW IT!

Ever have one of those days where you see something that you cant remember if it is real or, in fact a dream? Well that happened to me when I saw this….

The Atheist Bus is here. Let Armageddon commence! This bus has been spotted all over the globe, taking a famous line from Richard Dawkins; [...]

First act Heaven And Hell self confirmed, with other strong rumours including Lamb Of God, Slipknot and (surprise, surprise) Metallica. Could be a good thing!
METAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!

Things that play on my mind….. no pun intended.

After paying a most recent visit to Heartbreak City with a small drop off at Desolation Point (yeah..i got dumped), ive been relying rather heavily on music to pass away the points where it is socially acceptable to drink alcohol. I’ve developed a few favourites which have got me through this, and would like to [...]
