The forthcoming album from DRGN KING is on the horizon and no one is more excited about it than this Angelella. If you look like a sleuth online, you should be able to find a few few sneak peak tracks that the band has released early, most notably “Barbarians,” “Paragraph Nights,” and this track, “Holy Ghost.” I haven’t heard a sub-par track yet! Their sound is crisp, fresh and unique–the antithesis to being derivative–accented by the best of The Beatles, Dipset, Shuggie Otis, The Flaming Lips, Ahmad Jamal, and all Wu-Tang Clan affiliates.
As a reminder, DRGN KING is led by my uber-talented cousin, Dominic Angelella. He is the one in the video who looks like, well, the Holy Ghost, frankly. He looks like Jesus.
Another beautifully shot music video. Another wicked, foot-stomping track. Stay tuned for the official release, as you can be sure that I will write a full review of the album once I get my hands on the darn thing.
Keep on.

Team Zombie received some incredible book blurbs from some zombie-rific folks recently.
From Matthew Quick, author of The Silver Linings Playbook, (also a forthcoming film adapted and directed by David O. Russell, starring Bradley Cooper, Robert DeNiro, Julia Stiles, Chris Tucker, and Jennifer Lawrence):
“An irreverent and twisted coming-of-age story with one of the most shocking endings I’ve ever read.”
From John Waters, author of Role Models, and filmmaker best known for his cult films, including Hairspray and Pink Flamingos:
“If you are a ‘youth spy’ and want to know how teenagers feel and what they say when adults aren’t around, Zombie–a funny and very authentic, well-written first novel by J. R. Angelella–should definitely be the next book you read.”
To quote Jeremy Barker, “sometimes zombie happens.”
Keep on.

This year, oh this year, I’ve decided to keep a blog list of every book that I read and include my favorite quotes. When trying to think back on the books that I read in 2011, I had an embarrassingly difficult time doing so. This year (will hopefully) be different.
I’m a slow reader, but it’s something worth a renewed commitment.
This is my new year.
Keep on.
