who are making their return, shortly

I downloaded an album by Sabbat after Dani Filth dedicated a song to them on whatever DVD of theirs I just watched. "Hosanna in Excelsis"...it's clear that young Dani has been studying the vocal techniques on display. He sounds just like the Sabbat guy. Go figure.

Sabbat - Do Dark Horses Dream of Nightmares



Slayer - Disciple (live on Henry Rollins Show)

One Hell of a Lot of Us

ADRIAN BELEW: nicest guy in rock
Watching him entertain and engage a small but intense audience on the Pittsburgh 1999 DVD was a pleasure. The man is a master of handling not only the quiet, meek fans during the numerous (and surprisingly fun) question-and-answer sessions, but the obnoxious, loud, presumably drunk dude who yells a lot. He makes them all feel welcome. Musically, Adrian is truly amazing, especially during his party piece "Three of a Perfect Pair." Great show!



gorgeous reminders of the Michael Brook/Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan collaboration
