Goddamn ye, merry gentlemen

I've posted this on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, and now here. It is April 14'th, a day that I always save for someone whose body of work affected me deeply.

3 Years ago today, we lost one of the greatest minds in music. A hero to me and many others. An inspired bassist, prolific writer, and amazing vocalist. As I do every year, today my thanks to Peter will be made by spreading his music so others can be as inspired as I have been.

This is the full "World Coming Down" album in a playlist on youtube.
This album, to me, proved that Peter and Type O Negative were more than human. Each album was as strong, in some points stronger, than the previous. That's saying a lot since the previous album to this was "October Rust", a legendary disc itself.

The biggest thing I take from this album is the feeling behind it. Peter had said that this album was too personal for him and he didn't like playing it live. See that? He put so much of his pain and heart into this album it made him uncomfortable! I wish I could do that. I wish I had that pure of a conduit for my pain, to put so much of it into something that it gave me the shivers.

My favorite tracks are "Creepy Green Light" and "Everything Dies". 

  Rest In Peace, A hero to us: Peter Thomas Ratajczyk [Peter Steele] (January 4, 1962 – April 14, 2010). Thank you.

SUPER HAPPY FUN TIME GEEK PODCAST!!!

Hey folks!

Long time, no see! That's because I've been so busy with my band, The Long Black Veils! We put out our Debut CD, we have t-shirts and everything!

But what's been taking my time lately aside from the band, family, and work, is a music focused Podcast! That's right, yours truly is on iTunes and any other podcatching software you want via TRSpod.com! I am a bassist, and I do the podcast with my drummer Johnny, so the podcast is called "The Rhythm Section with Johnny and Rob".

It's a podcast by a rhythm section, for everyone, but mostly for rhythm players. Just give it a listen, and if you like it, rate it on iTunes with a comment, email us at therhythmsectionpod@gmail.com, follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook, or leave a comment here!

Also, I'm totally addicted to Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer, no expansions, straight vanilla. If you dig on it, hit me up on Steam and we'll noobtube some faces together!

Peace out homies!



p.s., here's a video of the sexiest woman on TV, Allison Scagliotti, with the most hilarious down syndrome actor of all time The Ponceman.
