The Vintage Warrior: Remembering Yesterday's Greatness
http://thevintagewarrior.blogspot.com/2013/05/remembering-yesterdays-greatness.html
Tuesday, May 7, 2013. You may have noted a new banner for The Vintage Warrior. It's been hung with good reason. Special effects legend Ray Harryhausen has passed away. He was 92 years of awesome. Don't worry, I don't know the name offhand either. But I've been a huge fan of his work ever since I was a kid. The skeletons from Jason and The Argonauts. Are a cherished childhood memory. I hang them as my new banner proudly. The best 2 minutes of your life that you'll ever waste. And Notorious B.I.G. It was c...

The Vintage Warrior: Worship at the Altar of Edward Repka
http://thevintagewarrior.blogspot.com/2013/03/worship-at-altar-of-edward-repka.html
Sunday, March 24, 2013. Worship at the Altar of Edward Repka. And also got involved in toy design among other things. I absolutely love just about every single album cover that Ed Repka has done. Each one tells a story all by itself. Since I've always been a fan of post-apocalypse, zombies and destruction stories, I see a B-movie formulating in my brain every single time I look at Repka's artwork. Repka Blowing Minds in the 1980's. Peace Sells.But Who's Buying? Big Chief Records (1988). S and M Airlines.

Bedroom In the Basement: February 2012
http://bedroominthebasement.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Bedroom In the Basement. Wednesday, February 29, 2012. For the love of Davy. We interrupt our regularly scheduled episode of "Bedroom In the Basement" (today's installment was going to discuss the new Van Halen single) to pay tribute to a guy even shorter than me, Davy Jones, who died suddenly today at the age of 66. It's hard to recall my earliest memory of the Monkees, but I believe it was sometime back in 1986 when I saw a rerun of their show while at a hotel (possibly on "Nick at Nite? So, rememberin...

Bedroom In the Basement: January 2013
http://bedroominthebasement.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Bedroom In the Basement. Saturday, January 12, 2013. Last weekend I watched "Scream 3." I don't think I had seen it since I saw it in the theater in February 2000. Then last night I watched "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" (which has to be one of the more clever names for a sequel I have ever seen). Why the sudden nostalgia for those turn-of-themillennial slasher pics? Anyone remember how dead the horror film genre was by that point? Oh yeah, and Paul Rudd was in it. It's hard to say, but I think ...

Bedroom In the Basement. Wednesday, May 30, 2012. Well folks, there's only 2 days left in this month, and it looks like I won't be getting as deep into Maiden's discography as I intended. But fear not, as I will do more next May (barring an apocalypse in December 2012). Today and tomorrow I plan on posting videos from 1986's Somewhere In Time. Lp (which has one of the most detailed album covers.check it out! Saturday, May 26, 2012. Thursday, May 24, 2012. Album Here's one more from that one. VHS also tra...

The Vintage Warrior: April 2013
http://thevintagewarrior.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 6, 2013. Editorial conflicts with creators at DC Comics have gotten a lot of exposure in the comic book world lately. In times like these, it's sometimes important to forget about the bad shit and reflect on great books that DC have released in the past. Some are quite obscure, others not so much. Non-readers beware, it's about to get nerdy up in this bitch. He's the guy who brought all of Stan Lee's creations to life at Marvel. Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Avengers.

The Vintage Warrior: November 2012
http://thevintagewarrior.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 2, 2012. Max Cavalera is Responsible for Black Metal. I love a good rumor as much as the next nosey bastard, so what better rumor to discuss than a rumor I plan on reigniting that can be backed up with facts and not-so-reliable statements. Max Cavalera is Responsible for Black Metal.". For those who don't know, Max Cavalera is a prolific Brazilian heavy metal musician. He is probably best known for his popular nu-metal band Soulfly. In my opinion, nothing beats Sepultura. But one thing t...
