You’re in for surprise You’re in for a shock! Judas Priest’s second album Sad Wings of Destiny is a Top 20 metal album in my book. Sometimes maybe even Top 10. Who knows, I don’t keep track of these things. Anyway, today’s edition of Buttkickin’ Halloween Songs is taken from said LP, a creepy, rockin’…
It’s not like I enjoy doing these posts, except for the fact that I do, so I’m a big fat freakin’ fibber. Anyway, I’m midflight coming back from Boston, so I thought I’d share my usual flight pics because I’m still busy basking in the afterglow of the BAA Half Marathon and coalescing my thoughts…
We interrupt your Halloween Buttkickingness for a moment, if we may… And by “we” I mean all the useless monkeys at Omnis Network hosting services, who have been working diligently day and night to provide the kinds of incompetently mediocre and talentless services one has come to expect from the 21st-century industrial American mindset. But…
“Old Lucias Clay was a greedy old man and that’s all there ever was to it…” Treachery, murder, and revenge, and it’s all served up ghastly and Southern-fried. Yup, good old Lucius Clay is a miserly, bitter old dude who hides his money in jars in the swamp because of course he does. Naturally word…
Spooky… This 1994 single from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds is one of those perennial “spooky” tunes. Even if you’ve never heard it before, you’ve definitely heard it before. Either in movies, on television, in trailers or commercials… somewhere, you’ve heard Red Right Hand before. It has seeped into your subconscious mind and settled…
Legendary Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley — the original and ONLY Spaceman, as far as this fan is concerned — had been an integral component of the band’s success since its inception. As Kiss’s lead guitarist, his licks, riffs, and solos gave their music much of its memorable character and tenor. Frehley wasn’t a perfectionist, nor…
The end of the world is a pretty nutty thing, isn’t it? Most probably picture this Book of Revelations styled Apocalypse, what with asteroids smashing into the Earth, the planet’s crust opening up and unleashing all sorts of demons and oceans of magma and goblins, the sky turning to fire and the seas steaming into…
This is just one of those songs, you know? The “probably a hatchet job but who the hell knows” book and movie Mommie Dearest basically presented legendary screen presence Joan Crawford as one of the creepiest, most terrifying women who ever walked the planet. I mean can anyone even think about wire hangers anymore without the vision of a terrified…
“That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.” — H.P. Lovecraft What… you thought another October would arrive without Hokeyblog’s annual Buttkickin’ Halloween Songs coming into the forefront? Forsooth! Fooey! and Fiddlesticks! Welcome back to our yearly celebration of all things Creepy-Crawly, darkly frosty, and chillingly spooktopic. Halloween approaches and…
Well, Howdy Doughnuts everyone! It’s been about two and a half weeks since I last surfaced, but don’t think for a moment that I’ve forgotten about you. Almost the opposite, actually. While it’s true that my four-part Disneyland recap kind of blew any remaining writing instincts clear out of the studio, there’s been a metric…
