“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Space rock

Of the most badass kind: I saw MONSTER MAGNET play live as a warmup act for Iggy Pop over 10 years ago, at Download Donnington in 2004. They kicked ass. Dave Wyndorf is a truly great frontman (when he’s not stoned out of his gourd on mescaline, anyway). His...

I grew up on a steady diet of great Saturday morning cartoons- G.I Joe, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Transformers, Dragonball Z, and of course Thundercats. They were all great fun to watch, they all told awesome stories, and they all were the heady stuff of...

Happy New Year

I miss seeing Old Glory flying high in the wind… In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life,...

Twilight of the Thundercats

Classic 80s cartoon series (which I grew up with, by the way) meets ear-raping Viking heavy metal. Need I say more? Crank the volume WAAAAAY up on this one, and to Niflheim with the neighbours. Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in...
