end of the year, bring on the new one.
The end of a decade and a strange one at that. I have been thinking a lot about what a weird trip the last ten years have been and have realized that it could not have ended better for me. In 2008 I had hit rock bottom, I let people get the best of me and virtually everything that could go wrong, did… all at the same time. I did not realize that I was letting people and personal issues hold...

Current happenings
Ascites is going to be releasing a few new recordings soon, I think people who liked Incisional Drainage will dig it because it is a nice blend of harsh and industrial clanky drone noise.
Abuse Tactics is booked for the Athens Experimental Fest, can’t wait.
I have also been working on a lot of electronic/synthpunk material that has a vocalist and will feature live and electronic drums....

Basically you pay $120 per month for 12 months, the first month is a down payment and the next month you start receiving your synthesizer parts. I will be documenting this process and will be adding modules from several other sources as well....

resolutions and recallections
One of my goals has been to write more about things that I am working on, things that I would like to work towards and just life in general.

Everything that has happened has been a learning experience.. even the weird and random incidents. For first time I can recall I have...

Mayhem Mondays are dead →
Crossposted from North Texas Bullshit
Just when Dallas was starting to get fun again the Fallout Lounge has decided to pull the plug on Mayhem Mondays. This really sucks. Those who did not check out Monday nights here missed great punk, metal, grind, thrash and crust jams as well as cheap drinks and good people. Hopefully another venue will be willing to work with these fine folks and make Monday...
