[Video Log #13.12.20XX]

[The video opens on Michael sitting at his desk, smoking a cigarette. It looks like he's been crying a lot, his eyes red and puffy. There's a nasty bruise on his face.]

Here's to another fucking year on this piece of shit rock... [He raised the cigarette a bit in a mock toast] 20 fucking years... 20 FUCKING YEARS! I've been here for 20 years and it never gets any fucking better! I think my therapist is just lying to me at this point just to get more money out of me...

[Michael smoked his cigarette, thinking about what to say]

I just wish I could do something, anything about them... They're assholes, They shouldn't be celebrated, They shouldn't be put above everyone else, because They don't deserve it! They just beat up and insult the ones They consider weaker and undesirable.

I just wish something would happen, i wish I could just escape this fucking life! No one would care! No one would care if I was gone! No one would care if i was fucking dead! No one would... care...

[Michael's voice trails off, he frowns]

Emma would care... she would always care... she's great like that... I think she's the only reason why I'm still alive... if she wasn't here... well things would definitely be different...

I don't even know why I'm recording this thing...

[Michael finishes his cigarette and turns off the recording]

[Video Log #04.10.20XX]

[Video opens with a view of a young person in a messy bedroom sitting at a desk in front of a webcam. The person has long brown hair and brown eyes, they have eyebags under their eyes. Their nails are painted and they have a feminine quality to their looks. They wear glasses and look a bit chubby. The person sighs before they start speaking]

I have no idea if this will work, but my therapist told me it might help, so here I am... I guess I should introduce myself uh... I'm Michael or uh... I guess most people know me as [The video glitched out, making the name incomprehensible], but I prefer Michael...

[Michael ran his hand through his hair, pushing it out of his face and adjusting his glasses after]

School today was bad... Loud and annoying... Of course I got overwhelmed and cried and They mocked me for it... I hate Them so much! I wish I could just get rid of those assholes one day, they don't bring any significance into this world, they're just popular assholes! They should be gone!

[Michael hid his face in his hands, making a frustrated noise, he stayed quiet for a bit]

At least Emma's a good thing in my life... [He uncovered his face and propped his head up on his hand] She's nice, um... She's my girlfriend actually, honestly I'm still surprised that she wants to be with me... She could get someone better if she wanted to... But I'm happy that she chose me, she's my only friend and very important to me... I would do everything for her

[Michael looked up to the side, out of the view of the camera]

It's getting late... I guess I'll do another one of these sometime...

[Michael clicked something on his computer and the video finished]

BurningTapes : Devil x Nine

BurningTapes : Devil x Nine

BurningTapes, aka Darren Page, has something a little different for your brains and ears this time around with his all new long player. He’s all but shelved the Carpenter-esque horror vibes and is ready to trample our psyches with dirty bass and scuzzy beats. There’s also a peppering of keys and samples that give the proceedings the feeling of early 90s Beastie Boys mainlining MF Doom and Queens…

Pieces Vol.1

So last year we were treated by the great Burning Witches Records with the excellent Halloween compilation Witches’ Halloween Brew. You could be thinking to yourself that Witches’ Halloween Brewwas some kind of overhopped IPA made with spiced gourd, roasted pumpkin seeds, and the souls of the innocent. I wouldn’t doubt that that beer exists somewhere, but alas what Burning Witches Records offered…
