P.T. Grimm and the Dead Puppies - 'Post Mortem Blues'

Here's one more thing in the spirit of Halloween (since it actually IS Halloween today.) I used to have this disc in junior high when I was way into MSI and shit like that. It's kinda similar, except with a little more grunge influence (?) and more structured songs. What the fuck ever happened to these guys? Looking back, they weren't so bad at all.

Artist: P.T. Grimm and the Dead Puppies
Title: Post Mortem Blues
Year: 1999
Tracklist:

1. The Praxis Factor
2. The Freak of Unbridled Ridicule
3. Die Rusted Poltergeist
4. Agoraphobia

6. The Ghost of Suburban Bypass
7. Captain Considerate
8. Pre-Occupational Hazards
9. Evident
10. Like a Prayer

As you can see, I'm missing track 11 for some reason. Oh well. Sorry about that. As far as I know, this album was self-released, hence the tiny-ass cover photo being the only one I could find.

Forte 4, Devil's Night gets fucked-up

What a great show! Unfortunately, the WIDR podcast computer ran out of hard drive space and the podcast was lost. Oh well. I'll give ya the playlist anyhow so you can bask in its glory:

Lots of horror movie clips were dispersed throughout, too. Of those I remember were the trailer for 'City of the Living Dead (aka The Gates of Hell),' a few clips from '976-Evil,' the trailer for 'Blood Feast,' Alfred Hitchcock saying a few things, the 'red rum' sequence from 'The Shining,' and probably a few random screams from 'Cannibal Holocaust.' I'm sure there were more, but I have no PROOF of that now.

Here's the Forte podcast page anyhow.

I'm gonna post something else w/ a download in just a sec here....

Fuckin' up yer Halloween part 2

First of all, Part 1.

Then, check out last year's Halloween posts.

Lastly, I'll be doing a gloriously satanic show for Forte this week. Lots of pagan and satanic black metal, old school shit like Helloween, and tons more. Tune in Friday night 11pm to 2 am.

Now then, here are 5 more films that you should probably watch sometime this week, if you're not a pussy.

1. Suspiria, 1977
Wow, what a crazy fuckin' movie. Like a zombie flick on acid (except with witches instead of zombies.) Not only one of the best horror films of all time, but probably one of the best films period. Plus, that soundtrack...Dario Argento is probably one of the first directors to literally sit around thinking about ways people could die that would make the average person cringe by relation (for example, getting bashed to death on the edge of a table in his earlier film 'Deep Red.')

2. Netherworld, 1992While more of a dark suspense movie than a horror film, this is still a Full Moon picture (notorious for their 'what the fuck' series 'Puppet Master') and I watched it a couple weeks ago, and therefore it belongs on this list. It has something to do with Cajun black magic and there's something about a cult of bird people too...I dunno...it held my attention at least. It's good if you're a little bit too much of a sissy to enjoy the bloodier horror films.

3. Nightbreed, 1990
Based on a novel called "Kabal" by Clive Barker, this is one of those titles you'd think would be reaaaallll cheesy, but it's not really at all. It's got some truly bizarre scenes and great costumes. Plus it's all about how monsters are really cool and you should want to be one. Fair enough.

4. I Drink Your Blood, 1970
Remember when pretty much EVERY horror movie was 'loosely based on the Manson family murders?' Me either...a little bit before my time...but I've probably seen the good majority of 'em. This one puts them all to shame. Try this plot on for size: A bunch of drug-crazed, satan-worshipping hippies roll into a really small town (that's in the process of being moved a few miles away due to water contamination? Or something?) and their hippie van breaks down. So, they have satanic rituals, terrorize the locals, and give a a young kid's grandfather acid. To get back at them, the young kid gives them meat pies with rabid dog blood, turning them into RABID, drug-crazed satanic hippies. Hilarity/violence ensues. The effects and acting aren't even that bad to boot! What the fuck? Go see this movie now.

5. The Wicker Man, 1973No, not that bullshit remake with what's-his-stupid-name. This is the original mindblowing film. Whereas 'Suspiria' is ONE of the best horror films of all time, this is probably THE best horror film of all time. You know how Burzum is way scarier than all those fake satanic metal bands, and they don't really talk about anything except pagan shit like nature? This movie is like that. There's no (well, VERY little) actual bloodshed, and the main characters are a seemingly friendly island of pagan folk. However, this movie will creep the hell out of you. There is nothing else like it, and it's so perfect that I can't even understand why some butthole would want to remake it. Watch the original, pretend nobody ever fucked with it, and have a good Halloween.

Forte 3, sloooooowwwww then fast

...yep, that's the look of things on this week's edition of Forte. I'm not sure exactly why, but probably because I realized, after playing three or four really slow tunes, that I needed to pick things up. That's the magic of radio, I guess. Pretty decent show, overall (in my opinion.) More stuff from Relapse.

Download that shit homey.

Fuckin' up yer halloween part 1

I pretty much hate holidays, but here's some Halloween music anyhow.

I did this last year, too.

1. Black Widow - 'Sacrifice'
A whole prog-rock album about the devil and sacrifices and all things of that nature. The songs are surprisingly good, especially 'Come to the Sabbat.' You can download this fucker right here, because I put it up in March.

2. Type O Negative - 'Bloody Kisses'
Even though Peter Steele is dead, he's still scaring new listeners with this album all the time. I think that was supposed to be funny. Anyhow, it's a classic of the 'gothic metal' genre, and an all-around good listen. Check out the video for 'Black No. 1' here.

3. C.A. Quintet - 'Trip thru Hell'
Apparently, a soundtrack for what the title would indicate. I'm not sure if I'm buying that, but there are enough goofy sound effects to at least make this a Halloween Party disc. Plus, it's psychedelic. Who doesn't like Halloween more when it's psychedelic? Download the whole thing from this fine music blog.

4. Lucifer - 'Black Mass'
This album was created by one Mort Garson as an electronic representation of what a black mass probably sounds like. This was in the early days of synthesizers (1973 or something) so it's pretty primitive-sounding, but he gets some really odd fuckin' sounds out of his Moog. If you've ever wondered why some people are really into old Moog music, check out this record. Another good 'Halloween Party' release that's not super loud or super offensive. Download it HERE if you're interested.

5. Kalaschnikov - 'The Torture Never Stops'Daffy fuckin' German metal that sounds like it was composed in three hours. Check out this post to see a little more about the Metal Enterprises record label and how they love fucking metalheads out of $15 bucks here and there. Let's put it this way: This SOUNDS like fake-Halloween-metal. Like the soundtrack to some 1990's teenage monster flick where the kids have to stop an evil spirit or some such bullshit. It's that goofy. Just look at the song titles (when you download it, that is...you're not likely to find this one anywhere but here!) and the album cover. The only positive thing I can say about this album is that you WILL have a good time listening to it.

I'll be doin' a wicked-scary Forte in a couple weeks (or is it a week? I dunno), so tune in for that.

Forte 2, with a set of gross-out butt-grind

This one is probably a lot more enjoyable than last week's....I had time to find new music, plus Relapse records sent me a bunch of brand new stuff to play, and play I did.

And, since the page has been created, you can now check out the FORTE PODCASTS.

Here's the playlist:

Endless Dismal Moan - ISLNWD

Was very into the 2nd Acid Bath album (from which I pulled 'Bleed Me an Ocean')...I never took the time to listen to it before. Also, the bassist from Acid Bath formed a group with 2 basses/no guitars (Shrum) which I played as well. Odd stuff; too bad he had to go and die.

Forte 1

The rumors are true...I've retired the Obscuro! radio program for the time being. It may pop up again sometime down the road, but for now it's finished. I felt that I'd done pretty much all I could within the self-imposed guidelines of the show, and honestly it got a little tiring spending hours digging for crazy shit each week.

That does NOT mean I'll be retiring this website...in fact, I still plan on posting plenty o' wacky music and wacky music compilations...just at my own leisure. From now on, I'll also be posting playlists/podcasts/whatnot to do with Forte, WIDR's 3-hour metal program Friday nights 11-2 am which I have adopted. Don't worry..I'll be bringing my own brand of bizarr-o to the show, and a lot of it will be focusing on the most noncommercial metal music I can find.

Here's the playlist for this past Friday night, my first official foray into Forte, with guest-host Jake the Snake:

Repulsion - Maggots in Your Coffin
Death - Regurgitated Guts
Darkthrone - Paragon Belial
Cathedral - Picture of Beauty and Innocence/Commiserating the Celebration
Dead Horse - Rock Lobster
Burzum - Jesus' Tod (Death of Jesus)
Mortician - Driller Killer
Type O Negative - Bloody Kisses/A Death in the Family
Malicious Onslaught - Corpseifier
Sleep - Dragonaut
Godflesh - Like Rats (request)
Horse the Band - Murder (request)
Iron Maiden - Another Life
Dethklok - Briefcase full of Guts
Eyehategod - Ruptured Heart Theory
Brutal Truth - Godplayer
Faith No More - War Pigs
Irrwisch - Leer
Leviathan - The Bitter Emblem of Dissolve (request)
Cannibal Corpse - Split Wide Open
Anata - The Conductor's Departure
Pantera - 5 Minutes Alone
NME - Brickwall
Moss - Subterraen II
Motorhead - Jailbait
Mayhem - Funeral Fog
Orcustus - Conversion

Quite a bit of it is similar to what I played when subbing for the program last week, so hopefully with some time to devote to record-digging this week, it'll be a little more varied come next Friday night.

...and here is the playlist for the final episode of Obscuro, which was a best-of chronicling the past year and a half of the show:

Kenneth Higney - No Heavy Trucking
Debris - Witness
MC J'Ro'J - Let's Jump
Randy Rice - Mrs. Bitch
Jerry Solomon - Chivalry of Early 50's
Raven - Raven Mad Jam
Freddie Blassie - Pencil Neck Geek
Harry Perry - Message
Bruce Haack - Motorcycle Ride
Jim Shepard - Pull the Switch, Henry
Konrad - My Girl Likes to Buy
Virgin Insanity - In the Eyes
Chrome - Half Machine Lip Moves
Stephen David Heitkotter - I Don't Mind
Yma Sumac - Chuncho
Coven - Choke, Thirst, Die

White Coffee - Voodoo (Obscuro! theme song)
Gleneil - Cheepy Chappy and Ito
Sun City Girls - Dreamland
Bobb Trimble - Night at the Asylum
Robbie the Werewolf - Lucifer
V-3 - Caucasian White
Simon Finn - Jerusalem

Here's the podcast for that.

Unfortunately, there isn't a podcast page for Forte yet, but there should be pretty soon.
