"Killin Me Now"

Photo Credit:  @The_Corona_Chronicles

Southern California punk band Heartwells has announced an exciting new chapter: a partnership with City Rat Records for their upcoming European tour alongside labelmates Empired. The run will mark Heartwells’ first full European outing, bringing their explosive live energy overseas this winter.

The announcement follows the release of their new standalone single “Killin Me Now” — a high-octane dose of melodic aggression and emotional urgency — and their recent 6-song EP Ollie, released this past July via HEY!FEVER Records.

Eighteen & Counting...

Michael Myers v Santa Claus

Halloween is 18 days away those retailers who have already decked their halls with Christmas decor need to slow their roll!

I mean the best day of the year hasn't even happened yet and here you are trying to shove something down our throats that is still over two months away.

Could you wait at least until November 1st?! That would be an acceptable solution Home Depot (and others, but they are the only one I've experienced on a personal level thus far)

Thank you,

Michael Shinafelt and several hundred thousand like minded individuals

PS I'm putting rocks in all of those who are guilty Trick R Treat bags, so there!!!

Find a Spirit Halloween store near you...

Icon

Diane Keaton

We lost one of the greats yesterday the iconic, not to mention legendary Diane Keaton. She was truly one of a kind. 

I specifically recall that I first became aware of her when she won the Academy Award for Woody Allen's Annie Hall. 

Keaton throughout her life and career was always her authentic self. This is what she will always be remembered for most.

Rest In Power

"I'm coming out

I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show

There's a new me coming out
And I just had to live
And I wanna give
I'm completely positive
I think this time around
I am gonna do it
Like you never knew it
Ooh, I'll make it through

The time has come for me
To break out of the shell
I have to shout
That I am coming out" - I'm Coming Out, Diana Ross 

In Pride!!!

There Is Nothing Like A Dame

At 80 years young Dame Helen Mirren has lived, and knows of what she speaks.

Trust her words they are the wisdom we all wished we had in our younger years.

There is nothing like a dame after all...

TGIF! Bend it like Dame Helen Mirren, that's all.
