Song of the Moment LXXX: Ghost’s “Lachryma”

This work week has been astoundingly stressful, and I feel it’s just the beginning of more stress. Because of that, I’m going to make my weekend extra special. For starters, I’m drinking an ice-cold Jack & Coke Zero early while listening to Ghost’s new single, “Lachryma”.

I love the new song because it sounds like old-school Ghost but on another level. And the accompanying music video is amazing—Papa V Perpetua looks hauntingly regal.

I’m supposed to write more, but now I feel buzzed. Anyway, Ghost’s new album Skeletá will be released on April 25, 2025. I’m excited about it!

Happy weekend, everyone!

Song of the Moment LXV: Them Crooked Vultures’ “Mind Eraser, No Chaser”

I said I would listen to at least one different music artist per week, and last Monday I listened to all of Spice Girls’ studio albums. (Yes, I listen to Spice Girls. Deal with it.) But because January 14 is Dave Grohl’s birthday, I had to set the iconic English girl group aside and listen more to the bands throughout Mr. Grohl’s career – iconic grunge band Nirvana, my favorite band of all time Foo Fighters, and my favorite rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures.

As I type this, I’m drinking my favorite Jack and Coke Zero while listening to “Mind Eraser, No Chaser”, the second song from Them Crooked Vultures’ self-titled debut (and only) album and my favorite song from them. Mr. Grohl’s team-up with Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin is mind-blowing. I hope they will reunite and make another record.

Belated happiest birthday to Dave Grohl!

Song of the Moment LII: Coheed and Cambria’s “A Favor House Atlantic”

Hello there. I was supposed to blog yesterday, but I didn’t have access to the Internet the whole day and even my mobile data sucked. Now that both means of Internet access are back, I’m also back on The Diary and I might blog twice in one day soon.

Anyway, I recently finished listening to Coheed and Cambria’s second studio album In Keeping Secrets to Silent Earth: 3, and… wow. It has been a long time since I listened to the album from beginning to end, and it was a nostalgic trip because it reminded me of my first year of college – the same time I was becoming a huge fan of the progressive rock band. And what is one of my favorite tracks from the album? “A Favor House Atlantic”, the album’s second shortest song… and the catchiest.

That is all for now.
