Another month goes by with me asking "will Materia ever actually ship out these Castlevania box sets?"

Well well well, look what arrived today @megabeardo.bsky.social

Submitted a blackened Castlevania 2 cover for @dwellingofduels.bsky.social NES month. The mains were stacked! Really cool month. Perhaps maybe you'll hear more Castlevania stuff from me later this year? Interesting. Who knows. dodarchive.dwellingofduels.net/26-07-NES/11...

Available Friday 7 August, Black Mountain Transmitter "The Cadabra Tapes". 22 tracks of terror originally recorded as accompaniments to spoken word by @mattmbartlett.bsky.social and released on Cadabra Records LPs between 2018-2022 💀 (Digital format only)

Glad they still break this one out.

This just made my body spontaneously crumble into a pile of bone dust.

New Iommi track rips hard.

johnny cab in total recall feels more apt. ugly dangerous crap designed to steal jobs and pretend to have conversations. at no moment do you consider johnny cab to be pondering concepts

You won't catch me posting matrix or terminator bits in relation to real-world AI deployment because that would constitute a reproduction and endorsement of the foundational marketing lie that these technologies ought to be conceived of as comparable to the "thinking machine" science fiction premise

Do you instinctively start singing "I Was Made For Lovin' You" during the outro of "Cold As Ice" like I do, or are you normal?

Devastating flooding happened yesterday back home in WV. Family and friends are all okay, and I hope the same for everyone in Weston and the surrounding areas.

this is the equivalent of playing the Rivoli

A Meshuggah X Transformers crossover shirt at the SDCC Stern Pinball booth was not something I was expecting.

The love and excitement over Jimothy feels like pre-2015 internet. It's nice.

#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday Started off real bad, got progressively real good.

What a difficult thing to address. Celebrate the life and unique talents of your friend and bandmate while simultaneously explaining why they split from him without speaking ill of the dead. Heartbreaking. youtu.be/Ba4fW0mXh_w?...

I had the pleasure of checking out Jason Newsted & the Chophouse Band last night. Got to chat with Jason after and go down memory lane together about the last time I saw him with Metallica on 12/31/1999 in Detroit. He and Hetfield were *the* reason that I started playing music.

My hotel room at least has a nice view.

Stoked to be playing at 2D Con in August with @jononealmusic.bsky.social and the Henry Bros!

Time to listen to 50 versions of "Slither."

New song, new album later this year. Get hype. 🔥 Performance live at MAGFest, full song on my YT. #metal

Remember when Shaq Fu cost the equivalent of $147 upon release when adjusted for inflation? Anyway.

Surprise! I found my VHS copy of SuperTed. I forgot he basically rips his skin off to reveal his suit.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you. Anytime I mention SuperTed -- an early 80s cartoon about a defective teddy bear that is thrown out at a factory, brought to life by a polka dotted alien, and given super powers by mother nature -- people think I dreamed it all up.

I can personally attest to the quality from elasticStage. It's solid. So if you want Mega Beardo on vinyl, this is the way to get it!
