ICYMI – May 4, 2015


Dragon Ball is Back With A New Series and There is Nothing More Important Small secret about me… I am obsessed, obsessed, with Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and anything that involves those seven star balls, inappropriate jokes, and 14 minutes of screaming during fight sequences. This week, the original creator of Dragon Ball announced he would be overseeing a new series of the Dragon Ball manga, Dragon Ball Super, that will began where Dragon Ball Z left off (don’t have to watch GT for this, thank the heavens) with Buu. I feel like I’ve been waiting for this the… Read more »

SXSW 2015 Diary: A Subculture in Search of a Subculture

Fans are accustomed to waiting for the Tasmanian death prog quartet, and they were awarded again in 2015.

idobi Howl Featured Playlist – Week of March 9th, 2015


The Agonist  steps  their way from third to first in three weeks, a feat no other band has achieved in approximately six months of publishing a playlist. Eye Of Providence marks the debut of Vicky Psarakis who joined The Agonist after Alissa White-Gluz replaced Angela Gossow in Arch Enemy.  The moral of this story?  These bands fill a niche within a niche genre. It would seem sexist if not for the lack of metal bands who have replaced male singers with women (Arch Enemy  is one). We know Howl’s audience is young enough that the bulk of Blind Guardian’s music… Read more »
