The Tweekly [2.16.08]

G9 is now on-board with Twitter! I’ll try to re-cap for both of us each week… or month… y’know… as time allows for tweets. I find it’s a fun way to let you all know what’s going on inside our heads, and in just a few words on a regular basis.
Are you on Twitter? If [...]

A Bittersweet Holiday

On December 22nd, 2008, we bid farewell to one of our Studio Kittehs, Sprite. Anyone that’s been with us since the beginning, or anyone that is familiar with TERROREYES: THE DEMOS will always know Sprite as the actual “TERROREYES” of the cover art. At the time when we chose her to be our “Eyes of [...]

Using the word “bedazzler” in ANY sentence is funny. Just try it once.

I’ve never understood the price range $0-$24.00. Shouldn’t it be $1.00 - 24.00? $.01 - 24.00?

The Tweekly NiNi [w/o 12.01.08]

Last night, I created the “Molly Ringwald Breakfast Club Shopping Cart Dance.” What else is one to do during grocery store ’80s tunes night? #
Why is it you s’pose cats get REALLY feisty and playful after they’ve taken a huuuuuge dump? Relief? Insanity? Or is it just MY cats? #

The Friday 13s: Vampires, J-Rock & Demon Slayers, Oh My!

Welcome to the first edition of The Friday 13s, otherwise known as “NiNi talks about all sorts of crazy shite in thirteen words or less.” Mostly multi-media stuff, but y’know… a few fashion-y, geeky, gear related or web things may work their way into the mix. My goal is to spurt out the first things [...]

Monster Holidays: Wendigo

As the bleak midwinter looms over the horizon, a craving for cold, hard horror works its way into my psyche. Lately, I find myself thinking of the mythical monster born out of Native American legend, the Wendigo. According to ancient lore, the only way to kill a Wendigo is to shatter its heart of ice…

G9 Interviews Creature Feature

G9’s posted a great interview with Curtis of Creature Feature at FEARnet.com’s Music page. One of my favorite excerpts: [G9]: Speaking of gear… I keep lots of weird toys in my recording studio for inspiration, monsters and robots and stuff. Do you guys do that too, or am I just a big dork? [Curtis]: *Laughs*…

What made NiNi tweet last week?

Monster Mondays: “Team Edward” vs. “Team Jacob”

A coworker was talking to me about how her daughter wanted to get a “Team Edward” t-shirt, and when she saw that “Team Jacob” tees were also available, she’d said, “Ewww. Who would ever want to be with Jacob?!” Equal parts Twilighter and horror nerd, I answered this rhetorical question as simply as the question, “Would [...]

Monster Mondays: All-American Fiendish Families

Has TV brought any great “monster families” to our homes since the ’60s-era Addams Family and Munsters? Anyone? I myself will have to think about that one and get back to you. Or maybe I should be working on a TV pilot script! What kind of “monster family” would you want to see on 21st [...]

Hungry For The American Dream? Eat Pie!

Forget mudslinging, how’s about some I Love Lucy-style pie flinging? In your face, McCain! Mmmm… *lip-smack* blueberry! O-no-you-didn’t, Obama! *lip-smack* mmmmmmm… cherry! I received a little email telling me that Carousel Cakes is now following me on Twitter, so as most Twitter addicts will do, I decided to check into “who is this Carousel Cakes you speak of?”

Crow’s Nest Studio SnapShot: Meet Sherman Monster

G9’s prized Sherman says “raaaawr!” The Sherman [Filterbank] has been referred to by music gearheads as “Lucifer in a Box.” We really can’t say enough great things about this beast. The weird noises throughout most of the song MOONLIGHT and in the end credits of the FANTOMATIQUE video came from Sherman, with yours truly [...]

KEYVO says: I think my brain just exploded, i love it.
MADDSKEELZ says: I really don’t care that this has limited vocal samples. This is completely amazing. It reminds me of one of the Closer remixes. Singlehandedly the best industrial mix on here. Absolutely gut wrenchingly scary. Well freakin done.

HELDEN: From the Front Row [Apocalyptica Dallas 05.12.08]

“White spotlights appeared one at a time to highlight each player as he launched into the enigmatic opening strains of the title track from Worlds Collide. The cheers built to a deafening crescendo as Mikko’s thunderous toms launched the song’s first explosive synchronized cello riffs. I felt a physical blast of compressed air from the [...]
