Unfortunately, if you convert 22 to internet years it makes us, well, decrepit.  When I first arrived in New York in September of 1996, I rented a sizable two bedroom apartment on 93 Berry Street, […]

This One Goes to Eleven’s 2019 Metal Dundies

So saddle up and join us for This One Goes to Eleven’s second-annual metal Dundies, a network […]

This One  Goes to Eleven: Weekly metal roundup

The end of the year is nigh, but two of the biggest AOTY contender are just rolling in. So hold onto your butts (and lists), folks—we are just getting started.  WHAT TO HEAR: I don’t think there’s been a more anticipated, hyped, or meme’d metal record this year than Blood Incantation’s Hidden History of the […]

Sushi on Jones is coming to Williamsburg in November. The popular restaurant already has a location in Manhattan in the former home of CBGB: Celebrated omakase counter Sushi on Jones — the original one that limits diners to 30 minutes — is doing away with the time limit at a new Williamsburg restaurant. Also to […]

This One Goes to Eleven: Weekly metal roundup

Down to the final mixes on a personal project this week, so for the sake of my sanity, let’s keep this short and sweet. WHAT TO HEAR: Well folks, black metal Liturgy is officially back with a surprise (surprisingly good) new LP this week, H.A.Q.Q. (YLYLCYN). Although billed as a musical detour before Hunter Hunt-Hendrix’s […]

This One Goes to Eleven: Weekly metal roundup

Halloween is dead and gone and we’re steaming for the home stretch now. But before we get to lisztomania, there’s still plenty of new records from incredible bands on the way, so whatever you do, don’t turn that calendar just yet.  WHAT TO HEAR: So I’m gonna level with all of you: I’ve never really […]

CONTEST: Win 2-Day Passes to BangOn!NYC’s Warehouse of Horrors

These days there’s a chill in the air and the darkness creeps in early. Companies pump out candy corn flavored goods despite the fact that all self respecting hipsters hate the stuff. It seems as though films like Carrie and The Fly dominate syndicated networks airtime. OH WAIT. IT’S HALLOWEEN, MOFOS. And that means one more […]
