Whatta beautiful day

#1984

On October 21st I woke up dope sick, broken, frozen, in the woods, in a tent and knew I had enough... I didn't know what the future was going to hold but I knew anything was better than how I was when I woke up that morning. The things I've accomplished in 5 short months is more than I could've ever asked for. I really looked at myself and how I was inside and to my disbelief... I started to heal. I can say with all honesty I am not the same man I was mentally, or spiritually that I was that morning. Getting sober was the best choice I've ever made and I'm grateful for my life today. ❤️

Sk8 or die

Couldn't ask for a better birthday weekend! Thank you to everyone who's actively in my life and who have never stopped supporting me. I plan on making 39 the best year of my life and it's already off to a great start

Playing drums with my favorite s**t show The Excrementals! Down here in Hartford CT! Nice way to ring in my birthday 😎

I'm always so thankful for my good friend James Slimedog V***a from thrash n bang reviews my music. He reviewed my "Emo E.P." and it warms my heart to read. Jim seems to really get what I'm trying to convey through music. Hes a great guy and I'm humbled by this review ♥️

MARKO BRUISER
Emo EP

I died last spring.

But I got better. At least, I believe I did.

But I've been dying, to paraphrase Aerosmith, to get
"Back in the saddle again."

No, I don't mean to say I'll be looking like an ancient
Vietnamese woman,(sorry Steve Tyler), or falling off a
stage as I fall in and out of rehab.

(Only physical rehab as my mental rehab has been diagnosed
beyond repair).

But I will soldier on doing my music reviews where I spout
on and on about everything but the subject at hand, which is
the music that I've been paid, so handsomely, to write about.

But I really do feel that the music that Marko provides is
priceless and that he is one of the best songwriters I write about.

And sure, this Ep is titled "Emo" that suggests that wretched,
wretching inducing musical style- but in this case it's more
revelant to Marko's work in his emotional openness and display
of real feelings.

Which you get along with music that's a great mix of early
punk, classic rock and maybe a dash of alternative.

At least that's how I frame it- but really it's just a bunch
of awesome songs-

"Fu**ed" starts our quietly, industrial like and foreboding
with alternating droning notes and a rhythm that suggests
helicopter wings flying above.

I was quite content in feeling that this ambient beginning might
last the whole song but then, suddenly a thrash/grindcore guitar
lick crashes in with an insistent beat that states such truths
as, "You're fu**ed if you follow your government blind." We may,
in fact, be fu**ed but this song isn't- in fact, it's unique and
great!

With three ringing keyboard notes that suggest to me Blondie
in their prime, "Hardest Part" moves along in a new wave gleam
with its chugging guitars and energetic surf beat. And like many
of Marko's songs this combines lively, exuberant music with
downbeat, despairing lyrics.

"I just want everything to be okay, but that ain't happenin'
today." The hardest part may be "this living part" but it's not
hard at all for me to love a song as good as this.

"I'll Wait For You" moves with a moderate, almost restrained majestic
pace and a vocal that recalls Mick Jones singing in The Clash.
This is met with an overdriving, high guitar lead more common
in classic rock.

But like chocolate and peanut butter this combo quenches those
hungry earbuds quite well. This song is moving and powerful and my
favorite on this EP.

With a charge of "Go!"- "Every Time I think Of You" explodes
with four ripping chords, full of energy and rage with a tale
of- I don't know? But I think it may be about a soured
relationship.

The subtle hint of the line, "'Cause every time I think of you
it makes me want to fu**in' puke," makes me think this along
with the following line, "And I'm so glad I'm not going out
with you anymore." But I'm so glad I got to hear such a great
tune.

I hate Emo music and I hate indi, though hate is such a strong
word. Let me rather say, I would like to take these groups of
musicians and tare them limb by limb, while nailing their
heads to trees and plucking their eyeballs out to feed to the
birds.

(Editor's note: In no may do we condone any violence to any
individuals no matter how abhorrent their music may be).

To my unnailed ears Indi is just pop music played badly which
only works when it's expertly played, unlike punk music where
all the rules are thrown out the window, as they should be, to
be hopefully, devoured by rats in an alley way.

Emo is played by bands that flail about dramatically with
unconvincing emotional vocals that fail to relay any real
feelings miserably.

But I digress.

Did I mention?- though dying recently, I am now fully recovered while
thankfully, my sick beyond-repair mind was left unscathed.

But more importantly I need to reiterate that Marko Bruiser is
one of the best songwriters that I- one of the best dead music
reviewers- has ever experienced, dead or alive.

And this is one great batch of songs that you could say breathes
life into my very being- that is, if I do indeed still have one.

Well, you just never know what will happen?
