Havok with Soulfly, Sacramento, 11/06/13
Brutal, absolutely brutal. Havok and Soulfly brought a double bill of speed, volume, and pain to Sacramento’s Ace of Spades last night, and the crowd ate it up. Here are the photos:

Deep Cuts: Station. Wagon.
They were big, they were ugly, and if anybody ever wrote a song about one I don’t have it in my stacks. So what’s a desperate playlist maker to do when deadline looms and his brilliant idea isn’t panning out? Punt, of course:

On My Turntable: Stone Soul Foundation – Electric Valley
Stone Soul Foundation turns out the kind of hard rock that made me pledge my allegiance to the Guys in Black Tee Shirts Who Jam. This New York-based four piece makes crunchy blues-based jams that evoke Black Sabbath, black light posters, and bell bottoms.

Not a long time, but you can tell the boys did their homework. Gone are the strange little demo-like songs, as well as most…

Deep Cuts: Alice Cooper’s Halloween Candy
This week’s “Deep Cuts” brought to you by resident WIM Alice Cooper historian Robbo, who in his day won many a Halloween contest with his Alice costume. It was a great costume, but Robbo’s pet boa constrictor really put it over the top. Here we go:

149. As Lonely as the Road I’m On
I do not come from limousine people. My family was deeply middle class in the manner in which that term was used in the late twentieth century. My parents, aunts, and uncles were born into poverty and improved on that position by one. My father was the only one among them with a college degree,…
