Centipede - Sarnath (album review)

Centipede  
Sarnath
Inverse Records
Release: March 4, 2016

Centipede is listed as a stoner metal band from Finland. It's the Finland that makes me perk up. I like music from Finland. So I happily go into listening to this disk. Sure enough, it's a stoner metal band. The guitars remind you of Black Sabbath. The guitar tone reaches into your happy stoner childhood spinning vinyl on a turntable that used to belong to your grandmother and it takes up half a wall! Yeah, way back machine. That being said, this old stoner loves the music. It makes me smile and bang my head. It reaffirms that no, faded denim jeans, converse canvas high tops, and band t-shirts is still in style.

Markus Nurminen doubles on vocals and guitar. I think I dig his guitar playing more than his vocals. But hey, I LOVE the guitars on this album! It's like he channels his inner Tommy Iommi. Sarnath has eight tracks and each is as enjoyable as the last. Sarnath is part stoner rock, part 80/90s hard rock. If you are looking for something new and exciting buy Centipede's Sarnath when it drops March 4, 2016. The Evil DJ in your Brain will be happy you did!

Ishi: The Last Yahi

Image
   Ishi (c1861 – March 25, 1916) was the last known member of the Native American Yahi people from the present-day state of California in the United States. The rest of the Yahi (as well as many members of their parent tribe, the Yana) were killed in the California genocide in the 19th century. Ishi, who was widely acclaimed as the "last wild Indian" in the United States, lived most of his life isolated from modern North American culture. In 1911, aged 50, he emerged at a barn and corral, 2 mi (3.2 km) from downtown Oroville, California. Ishi, which means "man" in the Yana language, is an adopted name. The anthropologist Alfred Kroeber gave him this name because, in the Yahi culture, tradition demanded that he not speak his own name until formally introduced by another Yahi. When asked his name, he said: "I have none, because there were no people to name me," meaning that there was no other Yahi to speak his name on his behalf. Ishi was taken in by anthrop
