Here's a Linkin Park deep cut: QWERTY was written on a plane trip to Japan but didn't get put on Minutes to Midnight because it didn't fit on that album. It was only put out on a LPU fan compilation. It finally gets a worldwide release on the Papercuts singles compilation, out today.

Show was ok, the middle seemed to drag. I'd love to see Sami/Gunther run it back.

Dirtsheets: "Rock has heat backstage because he swears." Rock on Monday afterwards: "This is what happens when you FUCK with the Final Boss." Rock is just on a whole other level compared to ANYBODY else in wrestling. And it isn't the swearing putting him on that level.

Love this deal for both sides. 3 year deal, $30/$30/$20 with opt-outs after each year. Bellinger gets to prove last year wasn't a fluke and can take a shot at getting a longer deal after one of the upcoming seasons, the Cubs get flexibility and also make sure their hot prospects (PCA, Busch) aren't perma-blocked. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39596106/cody-bellinger-cubs-agree-3-year-80-million-deal

Ladies and gentlemen, the collab I never knew I wanted dropped.

KNOCKED LOOSE MOTHERFUCKER

BlackBraid is a one man Native American black metal project. Much like Alien Weaponry, the music incorporates a lot of history. Like Bloodywood, the music also incorporates traditional instruments and patterns. Pretty cool stuff.

If you like rogue-like card games, check out the demo for Balatro on Steam. It's a game based on the rules for Poker where you play hands against enemies to collect chips and defeat them. The focal point of the game is the joker cards you collect to give you an advantage in games. It's a fairly simple concept but it's done amazingly well and I cannot wait for a retail version to be released.

OOMPH! enters their post-Dero Goi era. Their original frontman left the band a while back to focus on his solo work (and also because he turned out to be a QANON nutjob). Replacing him is Der Schulz, the vocalist for Unzucht. In the first few singles off the upcoming album, he seems to be a great fit so far.

Laibach is known for two things: being habitual line steppers and producing off the wall covers.

Slaughter to Prevail has a new album on the horizon. In an interview with Revolver, Alex Terrible said he was tired of deathcore and was going to change things up a bit for the new album. ... SIKE

I don't know who needs to hear this today... but somebody does.

Some Indian deathcore to lift up your Monday evening.

My condolences to his friends and family. DEAN was a damn good dude and I always loved reading his work.
