It is a big part of why I can’t watch scary movies without being in actual fear of peeing myself. (Also, there is no “cute date” option for me that will help me get over this. Ever.)

idobi Howl Featured Playlist – Week of January 19th, 2015


Napalm Death retains top status this week but Sylosis‘ Victims And Pawns debuts in second place.

The Radical 90s: Under The Influence


Twenty-four years ago, the human race entered the 90’s. With the neon fishnets and mile-high hair of the 80’s still lingering in the distance, we didn’t have any clue about the epicness that was to ensue.
