Top Ten Music Finds For 2017
This is the second make up post for two year stretch of no music listings. Again, not a lot of commentary but a lot of cool, interesting music (in my book). Butcher Babies – Monsters Ball I now have a playlist in Spotify called “Angry Bitches”, and these two are the reason why. Honestly, it’s…

Round Five: Top 10 Music Finds for 2015
Time for my annual sifting of the new stuff I’m listening to – yay!!! Once again, I’m a bit surprised I found at least 10 songs/performers throughout the year that I think are share-worthy. This years list is one of extremes of the pendulum swing. From ambient, floaty, female vocals to anger-fueled heavy metal tirades,…

He’s Big, Mean, and Green! … and not an ork.
Boom! We’ll see how long this lasts 😉 A long time ago in a house about 5 miles away, I started a green project, but of a different kind. It’s a Bride of Frankenstein and The Monster kit that my wife wanted me to do up (she’s a huge Bride fan). Looking for something to…

More Blasta Bommer Work – Gunna Get It Dome Someday!
So I’m back in the saddle for a time, we’ll see how long it goes 😉 I’ve actually been working on and off on this monster for about three weeks and the only thing I’ve accomplished has been the metallic weathering. I know, not much to weathering, right? Egggad, I wish. For anyone who saw…

Round Four: Top 10 Music Finds for 2014
Each year I do this looking back thing regarding my musical exploration/revelations, I anticipate this list to really short. Maybe it’s the compression of time and how well my memory serves me at the end of a collective year, maybe I just don’t realize how much new stuff I really found — I’m not sure…

Round Three: Top Ten Music Finds for 2013
2013 was not quite what I expected it to be when I reviewed my audio lists compared to my memories. I spent (what I thought) much of it in study for classes and class prep for classes I was teaching. I can’t concentrate on things like this (memory stuff) with a lot of funky beats…

Another Top Ten Music Finds – 2012
OK, another year, another reflection as to what I picked up sonically the last twelve months. Looking over the list there wasn’t anything from the old days like the Steelheart find last year. There was a surprise in the form of Van Halen as you’ll see (hear) below. Overall, this list is kinda close to…

Big Old Mixed Bag Today
Sheeze, three days back on the bench and it shows me what for… Did something today I haven’t done in nearly 20 years – drove an exacto deep into my finger. One of those stupid things where two seconds before it happens you’re thinking… “YA know, if that slips it’s gonna go deep and hurt…

Top Ten New Music Finds For 2011
Hey folks! The one thing I can do the same time I work on my models and paint is listen to music. I’m not one of those who can have movies or a tv series going on in the background – it will absolutely freeze me in my tracks like a deer in the headlights.…

Paint!
Spent some time slapping paint inside the cockpit of the blasta bommer last night. Figure I’m about half finished. I’m not going to rush things and want to make sure I spent enough time to make each part of this thing right. The pilot and comm-grot is nearly finished and some of the reds have…
