Hello, my name is Jericho, and I’m simply a guy who is obsessed with films and music. I’m not a critic in the traditional sense, meaning I have absolutely no credentials in this area beyond my passion for writing and love of the arts. I have a B.A. in English, and have written various short stories as well as a novella that I will hopefully be putting out soon. I started this blog/site simply as an outlet for my opinions, as well as to hopefully create an online community of fellow music and movie obsessives. The standard rating system (1 out of 4 stars for movies, 1 out of 10 for music), may seem somewhat irrelevant since the reviews are essentially opinion-based, but it’s just my way of expressing how I feel about the subject at the current time. I welcome comments, opinions, disagreements, really anything that gets people talking about this stuff. Feel free to message me with bands or movies to check out, or even suggestions about what I should get into. Thanks and enjoy!-MUSIC PICK OF THE WEEK-
TOTAL CONTROL
Henge Beat
There’s definitely something in the water over in Australia. Not only did the country produce two of 2011’s best albums with UV Race’s Homo cassette and Kitchen’s Floor’s Look Forward To Nothing, but it also saw the rise of supergroup Total Control. Featuring members of AIDS, Straightjacket Nation, UV Race, and Eddy Current Suppression Ring, the Melbourne five-piece has conjured a completely immersive sound that combines drum machine-fueled electronica and synth-punk with blasts of fractured noise.
