about

Part 1: Everyone is a critic now. Even critics' reviews get critiqued. In the end, I don't care what you like or don't like. I did it for myself.

Part 2: The critic realizes no one paid attention. There's nothing left but facing a life work of criticizing that never meant anything.

lyrics

On the shelf
For all to see
For you to judge
If I succeed
Crucify
Out of spite
Or just ignore
To prove you’re right
I’m meant to be
Objectified
Or made into
The wolf who cried
But I know something
You can’t see
I only care
What’s inside of me
You’ll lose it all
And become aware
And realize
That I don’t care
What you say
Or what you write
Or what you hate
Or what you like
You’re left behind
There’s only doubt
With no way home
And no way out
On the shelf
For all to see
For all to judge
For all to reap

On the shelf
There’s no one else
Left alone
To face myself
For all I’ve done
And criticized
Was all in vain
A waste of time
For now I see
What’s left of me
Is nothing more
Than empty dreams
On the shelf
There’s no one else
Left alone
To face myself

PULSE CODE MISERY
by RELIC

RELIC continues to be one of my favorite bands to come across during my travels touring with CHANT. Dark, hard hitting, sensually electronic and 100% genuine. Live: Insanely powerful! CHANT

Do You Klack?
by klack

Sometimes you come across something you just love and cannot stop listening to. KLACK is that band. If Coup De Grâce doesn't take you back to a classic Front 242 vibe, then you are dead inside. CHANT

Instant Exorcism
by Curse Mackey

Curse Mackey channels dark, sexy moods and subversive chaos into everything he does [Evil Mothers, Grim Fairies, Pigface] so it makes sense that his solo effort would exceed all expectations! CHANT

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved Callum Gray
