  • A brief tutorial on Weezer (pt 2) – The Decline of Weezer Civilisation

    by Homo Rodans Friday, October 2nd, 2009: “Maladroit” This is the hardest rocking Weezer album as of today. Welcome back, heavy metal influenced guitar solos and palm mutings!

  • Neverending torment

    The Neverending torment – Reviewing Poe’s Raven There is no doubt that Edgar Allan Poe’s Raven is about a tormented night, as the poem itself expresses in its starting line. In a first reading, my interpretation of it was the story of a deeply troubled man, lonely and sad over an important personal loss. I…
