Rage Against The Machines
For this challenge, I am taking a different route and submitting a poem for the rap music genre. In the light of current events, I dug up this oldie, which was written straight off the top of my head, something rappers can relate to. Think: freestyle. My creative input may deviate from the task at hand in some aspects, but as a lover of all kinds of music and as a gal who likes to push boundaries, stepping outside the box is a personal must.

Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To - Album Review. Content Warning.
I love heavy music, and while I know it isn't for everyone, I find it deeply compelling. The naunces, the raw, often unapologetically unfiltered emotions, and the technical prowess that is so often on display thrill me. I know lots of people miss that and that's fine.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails . Content Warning.
Thirty years on, Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral still feels like a fresh breath of thick, toxic-filled, self-hatred-driven, cathartic air. This album is not a pretty journey to take. Anyone who has heard it will attest to that fact. So why have I chosen to write about its importance to me personally?

The Fisherman's Legacy: A Tale of Patience and Perseverance". Content Warning. AI-Generated.
In a quaint coastal village nestled on the edge of the Atlantic, the life of the community revolved around the rhythm of the tides. The villagers, whose existence was intimately intertwined with the sea, held an unspoken respect for the deep blue waters that both provided and took away. Among them lived a humble fisherman named Thomas, whose story would become the stuff of legend.

CARSEX Level Up With Scorching New Track "Crooked Canvas"
CARSEX is an edgy, punk and metal influenced band out of Long Beach, CA. They have leveled up their game with the release of their new single “Crooked Canvas”. The song, which was produced by Steve Evetts (Sepultura, Alesana, Poison the Well, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Butcher Babies) is their clarion call for people to pay attention to who – and what – they support. They rail against blind fealty to leaders of political parties, and just following the herd to whoever the latest cult personality is. They want to make people aware of what they are buying into, when they are buying the latest buzzy thing.

Playlist: fringe benefits
Isabel Maria – Holy Smokes Last time we wrote about Isabel she was taking her brand of subtle chamber pop to the Stone’s Throw festival. Since then, the teenaged singer-songwriter has released a new track and announced a bunch of gigs. So there’s no excuse not to catch up with her music.
