Never Ever

 

Hey, Readers.  Merry Mischief Night.  I'm back with some Peak Flow news.  Those mad lads from the UK have tapped me on the shoulder again to alert me to their latest single.  It's called "Never Coming Down".

The song is about the emotional intensity of entering a new relationship.  The band portrays this through an abrasive juxtaposition of infectious synth hooks, distortion and misery-soaked fuzz resulting in something that feels both euphoric and uneasy beneath the surface.

"Never Coming Down" can be found on their Bandcamp and other major streaming platforms.  The music video for the single is also up on YouTube.  Hope you all have a good Halloween weekend.  Til next time.

Spooky Adornments

Hey, Readers.  Happy Spooky Month!  The summer weather is finally gone.  Hope everyone's enjoying the cooler temperatures.  Just wanted to pop in and spread the word about a friend's etsy shop.

It's called JBlueAdorns.  The owner specializes in handmade jewelry and trinkets made from air dry clay.  Since it's Spooky Season, there are 3 jewelry pieces that I wanted to highlight that are currently for sale.  First up, are these pair of bat earrings.  Look at those beady little red eyes.  Adorable.

Next, are these small black cat earrings.  More adorably menacing red eyes.  Don't worry, these little kitties don't bite or scratch.

And finally, for my candy corn lovers out there, the shop also has these cute candy corn earrings.  Yes, I like candy corn.  Wanna fight about it?

Spooky stuff not your thing?  Don't worry.  The shop also offers jewelry of the non-spooky variety.  That's all I have to share with you folks for today.  Til next time.

Repetitive Wild Queen

Hey, Readers.  How has the weather been treating you?  Seems like it doesn't know if it wants to be spring or winter.  Pick one.  Preferably spring.  Anyway, I'm back with a quickie music dump.

Let's start off with those gents from the UK, Peak Flow.  The duo have returned with a new single called "Repetition".  They described the song as capturing a relationship stuck in the same unresolved argument.  Circling, repeating, neither side prepared to give.  The tension doesn't explode; it lingers quietly unresolved, more out of exhaustion than understanding.  A music video for the single can also be found on YouTube.

From Chicago, Illinois, we have Panic Priest.  This is a project that showcases the songs of Jack Armondo.  The singer, songwriter multi instrumentalist describes his sound as having deep crooning vocals while weaving together dream-like guitars and synths.  Have I told you synth is my favorite word?  If you didn't know already, now you do.  Panic Priest's latest album, Once Wild, is out now.

Now we head to Las Vegas, Nevada.  A.K.A. Sin City.  Formed in 2020, Pitch After Dark is a band that has a passion for making dark music that you can dance to while living in darkness.  Their latest album, Dark Queen, gives haunted house vibes.  I have no complaints about that.

That was my quickie music dump.  Hope you give these artists a listen.  Before I go, I just wanted to plug my Ko-fi page.  If you want to leave me a tip, feel free to click the link in this post, in the blog's header or the support me button on the side.  Til next time.

New Single! New Single!

Hey, Readers.  Post-Punk/Goth duo, Peak Flow is back with a new single called "Don't Die in Your Sleep".  The song is about remembering the sudden passing of a close friend and the feeling of total loss.  It features synth driven hooks combined with echoes of contrasting guitar noise and dark vocals.  The single is out now on all streaming platforms.  

You can also listen to it here.  Til next time.

*Waves*

Hey, Readers.  Long time, no see.  Been nearly a damn year since I last posted.  Been feeling unmotivated and spent last year in and out of the hospital.  Hence my lack of blogging.  I'm feeling much better now.

So, what's been going on with me lately?  Besides the trips to the hospital, not much.  Just been simming and chilling on discord.  Between the simming and discord lurking, I did manage to finally put up some sugar skull earrings that I had made in my ko-fi shop.

You can get to my ko-fi shop by clicking here.  Before I end this post, I do have a music recommendation that I want to share.  I heard about this band from a podcast that I listen to.  They're a modern synth-pop band located in Austin, Texas called Night Drive.  I listened to a few of the band's songs so far and I'm really enjoying their sound.  Below, is a music video for one of their songs called Drones.

And so ends the post.  Thanks for reading.  See you when I see you.  Laters.

World Goth Day 2024

Hey, readers.  Just wanted to pop in and wish my fellow Goths a Happy World Goth Day!  If you're looking for some dark tunes to listen to celebrate, head on over to Obscura Undead's youtube channel and check out their DJ Sets & Mixes playlist.

For my fellow Goth Simmers out there, help yourself to some Gothic build/buy cc by Sixam CC.  There's the Wednesday Goth Bedroom CC Pack.  This pack comes with furniture and decor that's perfect for those that are dark at heart or have severe allergic reactions to bright colors.

You know what would go well with the items from this pack?  These windows and doors from the Love for Gothic Windows and Doors CC Pack.  This pack is perfect for Gothic mansion builds.  It also comes in handy for castle and church builds.

If it wasn't obvious, the sims teams based these sims off of Wednesday Addams and Enid from the Wednesday Netflix series.  Since I don't have the For Rent expansion pack, I had to snatch these oddballs off of the sims gallery and add them to my game.  Can't wait to start playing with this household.
