I've always dug Chino Moreno's other band, †††, but for whatever reason, their music has never hit me the same way the Deftones does.
This song changes that completely.
The Crosses store is located HERE. No pre-orders up for the forthcoming album Permanent.Radiant, but you can still grab a standard black vinyl edition of the recent Initiation/Protection EP that dropped a few months back.

I had completely forgotten that Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities landed on Netflix this past week. Totally blown away by the first episode. Directed by GDT's frequent Cinematographer, Guillermo Narravo, Lot 36 is not for the faint of heart. I'm really digging this darker tone Del Toro's work has had of late (it's always been dark, but I feel like starting with his Nightmare Alley, there is a fatalistic streak that's just nasty enough to be titillating, but not far gone enough to be mean.)
The list of Directors GDT enlisted for this is pretty fantastic as well, so I'm thinking every episode will be an immediate classic.
Read:
Sometime in the past week and a half, I sat down and did my annual reading of Rick Spears and Rob G.'s Teenagers From Mars.
Unfortunately, I still can't find my copy of my other annual Halloween read, James O'Barr's original graphic novel The Crow. So many of my books remain packed until I buy bookcases, so this year, I will have to push that reading off.
Playlist:
Electric Wizard - Wizard Bloody Wizard
Bexley - Female Hysteria (single)
The Cure - Seventeen Seconds Deluxe Edition*
The Nukes - Why Things Burn
Cough & Windhand - Reflection of the Negative
Various - Joe Begos' Bliss Playlist
Zombi - Shape Shift
Pilot Priest and Electric Youth - Come True OST
The Misfits - Static Age
* I don't normally denote deluxe editions here, but I have to say, the live tracks that more than double this release's size are fantastic.
