An Amazing New Band

It was August 31, 2016 (Stephanie's birthday). We had just finished our fantasy football draft. Mike Matney sent me an amazing song.. "Ether" by Bloody Hammers, and I think it might have been the 2nd time he'd sent it to me. Mike is amazing, and has turned me onto quite a few new bands. "Ether" is fantastic, by the way, as is a lot of their other stuff.

I had just prior to that shown him "Anesthetize" by Porcupine Tree, the Gavin Harrison drum-cam version. Upon reading a bunch of the comments under Bloody Hammers' "Ether," I figured out that in addition to them being one of Sweden's most popular bands, someone mentioned that this band called GHOST is too.

Not even 15 minutes later I was listening to this live version of Ghost's recently Grammy award-winning song, "Cirice", and this was my very first exposure to Ghost. The rest is history. . .

Saw them live in October, 2016. They have a ton of history, and have also entangled themselves within a lot of mystery surrounding band members' identities, and such.. But their music is so good that the negative publicity is worthless. They've toured the world, drawn millions of fans, and are currently venturing out on a tour along with IRON MAIDEN.

They are also currently working on their next studio album.

What the.. ?

The Chupacabra?

La Chusa?

When I was in high school we occasionally went and sat in a remote location "to wait to see La Chusa". Legend had it that if you whistled in a specific sort of way, this ghost-like creature with a woman's head on a bird body would appear. Most people thought it was just an excuse to go sit and drink a few beers away from our parents and the law.

Anyway, I can't say I ever saw it, or anyone for that matter.

Supposedly, tons of people here in south Texas have seen a chupacabra, too, but they're probably just inbred mutant wild coyotes/dogs/hogs/foxes. Most pictures published of them don't prove anything beyond that explanation, anyway.
