THE DUET.
Posted on December 17, 2014 Leave a Comment
A man and a woman trading vocals back and forth in a song. It’s called a “duet” and for some reason it feels like a lost art in the musical world. What happened? All of TNUC’s favorite duets are at least 25 years old and I think a part of that is because so few […]
FEROCIOUS FORTRESSES [PART 1].
Posted on December 11, 2014 7 Comments
Christmas 1989. The horrendous day in history when Pops TNUC ran out on the little Manimal and forgot to leave a single gift under the tree.

If it weren’t for a certain slimy cokehead who annually creeps into my life during Christmastime, I would have begun the first chapter of this brand new TNUC feature during the first of next year.
