And here’s another batch of goodies from our Facebook page, collected herein for your perusal and as a placeholder as life events, ongoing research and yet more recordings and edits over at Weird Scenes (we’ve been biweekly all year, and look to be booked on that very schedule well into the Holidaze!) keep the usual music reviews on hold for the nonce.

Have no fear, labels, reps and bands – we continue to gather and sort all incoming materials for review when everything else allows enough breathing room to get back on it. We ain’t goin’ nowhere, folks.

A Few Reviews for You to View

And as things continue apace on the editing front (even now, on our new biweekly schedule, we’re only halfway through what was already recorded!) over at Weird Scenes, aside from putting one clown in his place earlier (see the Facebook page if curious) it’s been busy as hell over this way.

Even so, we took some time out to get a few reviews out for new labels and bands who’d contacted us directly, and it’s actually some pretty good stuff.

So without any further ado, shall we?

Enter freely and of your own will, as it were…
