self-explanatory title. Pay tribute to all that plastic that promptly got buried under piles and lay there un-unwrapped until you forgot all about it.
Just noticed that I own Preterite's debut album (side project by Menace Ruine's Geneviève Beaulieu), probably bought five years ago along with...
Some of you might have heard dismayed whispers of my involvement as a co-writer in the Convivial Hermit magazine for about a decade.
This day I finally bring you my sole-on-board zine called La Delaïssádo, 172 pages stock full of stuff with music as the unifying thread of ten interviews with...

I would agree that most...
Anyone into this band? I thought it would last me two spins due to the cascadian tag blah blah, but soon realized that awesomeness lies within. The patient acoustic builds and great mournful black metal chords make me want to eat roots. Truly a meaningful record (or disc).
Haughm worships them...
