IDWATCHYOUDIE Guide to Culture & Style
SUMMER TWINS
I’m reminded of the first night that I kissed you. Leaning awkwardly on my left foot to shift my weight on a sloping hill so that I would appear at least a tad bit taller than I was, I leaned down to kiss you. It made me sweat through my white undershirt thinking you might [...]
NIGHT FEVER – “NEW BLOOD”
Let me tell you why I love this album and why you’ll absolutely go bonkers over it. 1. It fucking rocks. 2. It’s the perfect soundtrack for cutting the sleeves off of your jean jacket and telling your neighbors to mind their own fucking business, ya know? Take a look at the cover. Holy shit! [...]
Jerry Only presents The Misfits “The Devil’s Rain”
When I started IDWATCHYOUDIE I promised myself I would never write reviews about things I didn’t enjoy. I am an advocate for the spreading of a culture of appreciation and a desire to create. If you don’t like something by all means please one up it. You are an expert, right? So please be rad, [...]

night birds – the other side of darkness
There was a season of Saved By The Bell when the gang packed up and headed down to the Malibu Sands Beach Club for the summer, Big Zack ended up falling in love with the boss’ daughter, hilarity and teen drama (never resulting in pregnancy) followed. Real life is rarely so simple. Between surfing all [...]
bad banana
The artwork on BAD BANANA’s “CRY ABOUT IT” 7″ is great and by great I don’t mean Salvadore Dali great, I mean HOLY SHIT, did you really just photo copy-to-hell a very old pro wrestling magazine from the late 70s a few times and make it your album art?” YOU DID, YOU JERK! And I [...]
shannon and the clams
SHANNON & THE CLAMS recently came pissin’ through my sleepy town. The reverberations from my hip bones have caused nine known injuries county wide. Feeling risky? Wanna get down? Wanna boogie? Wanna French kiss and high five? Then you must check out SHANNON & THE CLAMS most recent LP SLEEP TALK on 1-2-3-4 Go! Records. [...]
the younger lovers
Holy shit, stop the press. Just stop everything that you are doing. Deep breath… OK, cool. You’re ready for this… Allow me to introduce you to Oakland, California’s The Younger Lovers, the catchy lo-fi bubblegum chewin’, French kissin’, hand holdin’ spawn of Brontez Purnell. These were the summer jams I have been craving for months. [...]
The Iron. Part 2.
When I was eighteen I read an article about working out that changed my life and, at that time, encapsulated my entire world view. I stumbled across it because I was an admirer of Henry Rollins. Despite Hank’s and my current difference of opinions, I greatly respect him for continuing to speak his mind. Cheers, [...]
Tiny Hats by Penelope Grazin
Last weekend I ran into Spike from Spike & Mike’s Twisted Animation and totally remembered how in love I was with one particular short from his 2010 Festival of Twisted Animation. Tiny Hats, a sweet tale of a little girl with a tiny hat, her deep dark secret, and eternal love! You didn’t see [...]
