Stitch Saturday (4/30/22)
You’ve heard of Tremonti Tuesday (or you have if you follow this blog, lol). Now get ready for Stitch Saturday! Showing some love for my favorite masked marauder in Mushroomhead ❤️
P.S. – I do have pictures of him maskless, but I just adore his masks.

The Lonely Ones/Magnolia Bayou in Huntsville, 4-29-22 (Photos)
I will write more about the show and both bands in a later post, but for now, enjoy these random pictures from a really kickass concert!
Actually, first and foremost, check out this version of “Nutshell” by Alice in Chains, performed by Magnolia Bayou. This is my favorite AIC song. (Their sets consist of mostly originals, but they throw in a couple of interesting covers.)
Unsettling Images (#1)
I started out browsing for pictures of abandoned amusement parks and ended up diving down a rabbit hole of the strange on Pinterest. Some of the uploads were actually creepy, but most of them just gave me an uneasy feeling – especially the ones that are real places/things. There was a whole lotta nope, and locations that, were you in a horror movie, it would all start going wrong there. Haha 😛 Below are a few of my favorites. I’m sure there will be multiple installments of these types of images: I love this stuff.
It’s Rammstein Release Day!
Rammstein’s eighth studio album, Zeit, dropped today! You can listen on YouTube or your favorite streaming services (or go buy it if you’re lucky enough to live somewhere that still has a music store). I pre-ordered both a vinyl copy and the special edition CD, but they won’t arrive until next week. What’s the point in pre-ordering? Lol.
Along with the full album being released today, Rammstein shared their third single from Zeit, a track entitled “Angst,” and its official video. Check it out below and spend this glorious day blasting the eleven new songs from our favorite Germans.
Song of the Day — The Doobie Brothers: “China Grove”
Song of the Day — The Doobie Brothers: “Jesus Is Just Alright”
