From the Mind of Bob

What I think, what I hear, what I see

Radio

2022-02-08 Music Bob Ossler
Most radio stations suck For years, I have bemoaned the fact that radio has become a corporate wasteland. There just aren’t enough independent radio stations. I suppose it’s financial; probably costs a lot of money to operate. I’m not going to waste time dwelling on my opinion… Found something that excites me greatly I was being a geek/nerd recently, and discovered a shell script (command line interface) that provided a menu to choose from a selection of lofi radio stations.

You cannot acheive the impossible without attempting the absurd.

Hip to Be Scared

2021-12-19 Music Ice Nine Kills
This song is off of The Silver Scream 2, Welcome to Horrorwood. A great follow up to The Silver Scream. The songs are all based off of Horror Movies, and they do a great job with every one of them. This particular song is based off of the movie American Psycho.

Who made the world I cannot tell;
‘Tis made, and here am I in hell.
My hand, though now my knuckles bleed,
I never soiled with such a deed.

A. E. Housman

The need to break free

2021-12-16 Music Bob Ossler

All that I’ve been given, I give it to you (I give it to you)
I can’t stand here watching you fail to tell the truth (to tell the truth)
Somebody break these chains
Wrapped around this heart
I don’t want you leaving
I’m begging for mercy
Honey break these chains
Oh heaven help me now
Trade the shackle for a crown
And I’m on my way, way down

Shaman’s Harvest - In Chains


At first, I was unsure why this song speaks to me so much. I guess it’s the raw emotion in the singer’s voice that grabs me in and takes me for a ride. It’s one of those songs where everything fits just right. The line, “I can’t stand here watching you fail to tell the truth”, reached out, grabbed me and wouldn’t let go.

Shaman’s Harvest is a band I didn’t discover until around 2017. The song is from their 2014 album Smokin’ Hearts & Broken Guns. The album has several great songs on it, and I’m sure I’ll be featuring lyrics for Dangerous, in another post down the line. Oh, the album also features an awesome cover of Michael Jackon’s Dirty Diana. Their 2017 release Red Hands Black Deeds was my introduction, and it kicks ass. I was fortunate to see them live at Carolina Rebellion in 2018.
