Normally I’m not a fan of band names that may (or may not) be glorifying presidential assassins, but I’ll make an exception in this case - John Wilkes Booth out of Long Island, NY. Found these guys online, or more accurately they found ME, and have been jamming out on their Myspace tunes all afternoon (which loads [...]

Budweiser Being Sold. Sam Adams to be Largest American Brewery
Posted by RevMortis on July 14th, 2008
To celebrate Quantcast data that says over 22% of my readers are under 18, I’d like to talk now about beer. Kids, turn your heads – this is grown-up time. With the announced sale of Budweiser to Belgium-based InBev (which scares me I gotta tell you ’cause we have an AB brewery here in Columbus and NOBODY better [...]
I’m Back. . . For Now.
Posted by RevMortis on July 13th, 2008
Hello kiddies! I’m back from Put-in-Bay but leave on Friday for Rock n’ Resort in Canal Fulton. Gotta love the short weeks. Ah summer! The past week was a blur of drunken craziness involving my wife, her sister and I traveling up to the lake for about 2 days of mayhem and feasting. Ate my [...]

Australians Prefer to be Buried to AC/DC. Go Figure.
Posted by RevMortis on July 7th, 2008
Blabbermouth.net – In the ‘Not Really News Department’, Telegraph.co.uk (linked to via Blabbermouth.net above) is reporting that AC/DC’s ‘Highway to Hell’ is becoming more and more popular as a funeral anthem for Aussies. Not surprising considering that’s where the band heralds from, but kinda ballsy all the same. Might make for an interesting conversation with St. Peter (“You played [...]
Red, White & Blue Oyster Cult
Posted by RevMortis on July 6th, 2008
In Columbus, we have one of the largest fireworks displays in the entire midwest called appropriately enough ‘Red, White & Boom’. This year, local radio station QFM96 hosted a ‘Red, White & Blue Oyster Cult’ show on the night of ‘Boom (7/3/08) that my entire family attended. Sounded like a great combination – RWB & [...]
Comfest 2008
Posted by RevMortis on July 3rd, 2008
The Columbus Community Festival (affectionately know as Comfest) is in the history books now, but I think it was one of the better festivals I’ve been to in a long time. Many here locally in Columbus complained about the band selections, the rain etc. etc. but I was happy as a pig in poop. Hey, they [...]
Slipknot Reveal New Masks
Posted by RevMortis on July 1st, 2008
Slipknot1.com – Spinner.com exclusively unveiled the new ‘look’ for Slipknot’s forthcoming album ‘All Hope is Gone’, but I’m linking thru to the official Slipknot site in case Spinner takes the pics down. So you may have to dig a bit to find them on one of the two sites – start with Spinner.com. My first [...]

Posted by RevMortis on July 1st, 2008
Rumor is this won’t be out for like, 3 years. Maybe by then I’ll have a computer that can actually play it! Hopefully this link continues to work (fingers crossed).
