Stay safe everyone and thank you for your continued support of DeadSplinter. Phantom Planet was a severely underrated band.

    • At work every morning I get a report of everyone who has been booked into the county jail. Several years ago I knew I recognized one name, but had to google it. Travis Meeks, on a fugitive warrant.

    • Fun facts about Dolores O’Riordan:

      She was banned from Jezebel for her anti-abortion stance because Jezebel only tolerated people who agreed with the Jezebel commentariat.

      She was banned from Splinter for the same reason.

      For that, I hope Deadsplinter’s comment section will be more open to discussion rather than berating those who have differing opinions…

      She was a loving and caring person who loved her children more than she loved her music and a lot of people miss her greatly:

      …and she should be remembered for who she was moreso than her music, but it’s likely safe to say that every musician should be?

  17. Sometimes I feel as though people are dead in my head and sometimes it’s just me coping with those I’ve lost. Sometimes things feel like a can of worms I can’t open, but often times a song can mean a lot of things at once:

    (explicit content mention required)

    Ballad of Worms by Cage:

      • This song means a lot to me the way it is worded so I’ve always wanted to find a place to post it on DUAN…even the original DUAN, but I didn’t want to be dark or depressing. I saw a crack through which it might fit on this DUAN so I posted it and even though I have moved on from where I was and learned (through the help of many of you) to let go of the things I cannot control, it still sits deeply inside of me. Like a where I was and where I am now kind of nostalgia.

        So it is safe to say that considering every DUAN this week had over 40, YES 40, contributions…that I am more than just ok because:

  18. I saw them once when Jason Schwartzman was still the drummer. They were a fun band.

    Mudhoney – Touch Me I’m Sick
    (I’m not sick.)
    (Don’t touch anyone who is.)

  21. I haven’t got any music to share yet, on theme, but I do have a bit of sad, about an interesting artist,whose music I don’t know particularly well, but who was an interesting person I learned about on a TV show, about an eccentric little shop in New York, which was called “Oddities”

    Evan, one of the hosts of the shop & show explained who Genesis & Lady Jaye were. She did it in a kind way, that left you understanding they had loved each other *very* much, and that they were wholly committed to their art.

    I never remembered to look up their music (until tonight), but I will always remember seeing the episodes with Genesis, because of how h/er love for Lady Jaye shone through everything s/he did.

    Their music WAS really interesting–and VERY Industrial😉


    But it’s also definitely got a danceable beat, and looks like it WOULD have been a wild & fun live show.
