Doctor Who: Out of Time 1,2

Image
  DOCTOR WHO: OUT OF TIME  The Cathedral of Contemplation is an enigma, existing outside time. It turns through history, opening its doors across the universe to offer solace to those in need. Occasionally, the Doctor drops in - when he's avoiding his destiny, it’s an ideal place to get some perspective. Only this time he's already there from several lives earlier, so when dimension barriers break down, his past and present collide. And when the Daleks invade and commandeer the Cathedral, two Doctors must unite to stop them - or face extermination twice over! DOCTOR WHO: OUT OF TIME 2 Paris, 1809. The Fifth Doctor takes a tour of the Catacombs and meets a sassy Time Agent doing the same... Paris, 1944. The Tenth Doctor misses his target and lands in occupied France. He hides from the Nazis - in the Catacombs. A collision of two Doctors' timelines triggers a temporal catastrophe, granting the Cybermen dominion over the Earth. The Doctors must travel back in time to find the ...

Skinny Puppy: Remix Dystemper, Nine Inch Nails: Things Falling Apart

  Currently enjoying “Remix Dystemper” by Skinny Puppy In 1998, when  Remix Dystemper  first hit the shelves,  Skinny Puppy  had  broken up  following years of acrimony and the death of keyboardist  Dwayne Goettel . Although they would  reform  a few years later as a duo, the remix album, featuring tracks drawn from over a decade of material, was very much a retrospective at the time of its release. Today, it feels like a look back at the first and arguably best chapter of the group’s history. Equal parts remix album and tribute album, the disc features reworkings of notable tracks by artists who were influenced by the group – and the eclectic range of remixers suggests that the group’s influence was a lot broader than you might expect from a Canadian industrial band. Many of the remixes are updated and more accessible versions of older, heavier singles; the  God Lives Underwater version of “Testure” and the  Günter Schulz ...

VARIOUS ARTISTS :: THE BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD EXPERIENCE STEVE 'FLASH' JUON   RapReviews.com OCTOBER 1, 2024 As rap albums go “ The Beavis and Butt-Head Experience ” is stretching the definition to almost the breaking point. That said if you include the unadvertised “hidden track” I think we can get at least 33% of the way there, and that’s enough for me to justify an album that came along at a pivotal time in my life. I’m going to start with a brief explanation of who Beavis and Butt-Head are though for those of you who have been living in a fascist state for 30 years and are just now looking at the internet for the first time. The odds you’d come here of all places seems minuscule at best but I’ll roll with it anyway. Before Mike Judge became a juggernaut in the entertainment world, he was a bored California kid with a degree in physics and no interest in office politics. He joined and left a startup tech firm, he played bass in a touring blues band, and eventually while pursu...

Sex Pistols: Kiss This / Sid & Nancy: Soundtrack

KISS THIS—THE PISTOLS TRACK BY TRACK FIRST PHASE: EARLY SONGS AND OTHER PEOPLE’S MATERIAL “DID YOU NO WRONG” PAUL COOK: “Did You No Wrong” was one of the only songs that came along before John joined. We were just learning still. We finally recorded it properly at Wessex for the B side of “God Save the Queen.” JOHN LYDON: I changed the lyrics because I didn’t like the niceties of the song. It’s a News of the World epic, which is a fairly good indication of where I was heading, completely antisocial. “SEVENTEEN” COOK: John rewrote the song because he couldn’t read Steve’s writing. LYDON: AKA “Lazy Sod.” This was around the time Steve Jones was learning to read and write. It was originally called “Lazy Sod.” There’s some Glen Matlock input in there—but I’m not quite sure how much. The song was already set up by the others before I came along. I remember laughing at Steve’s original words. I could not read the original set of lyrics, and Steve couldn’t remember them. Everything was misspe...
