OCTOBER 2018 TOP 3

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! The last of the month is when I review and make a Top 3 list of things that happened or were released this month. It just so happens the first of the month is also on Halloween and a Wednesday, so it's pretty hectic today. With all that being said however, here are the things I got into this month!

-Courtney Barnett Concert
-"Unheavenly Creatures" by Coheed and Cambria
-Apple Watch Series 4
-Foo Fighters Concert
-Hobo Johnson Concert
-Seattle Trip
-Venom
-Daredevil (Season 3)
-Pokemon Go Community Day (Beldum)
-Red Dead Redemption 2
-"Masters of the Sun" by Black Eyed Peas
-Apple Event

This month was pretty packed and a lot of it was really good stuff. There were a lot of things that I did not care for though so here are my Top 3 list for October 2018!

3. "Vaxis- Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures" by Coheed and Cambria is their 9th studio album and a great return to form for the band. Going back into the story and comics that we love and going back to a prog rock concept album for the ages that will kick off a 5 album series that will push us right back into the Amory Wars. Some of the favorites on the album include "The Unheavenly Creatures", "Lucky Stars", and "Toy". If you have not checked out this album yet I highly recommend it!

2. Courtney Barnett Live at the Van Buren- Ever since my road trip last year to Taos, NM; I have been obsessed with Courtney Barnett's sound and mesmerizing lyrics. She is by far one of the best lyricists of the past 10 years. I really got into her second album and when her 3rd album was released last spring I instantly fell in love. When I found out she was coming to Phoenix I bought tickets and was super impressed with the Van Buren as a venue and in her performance. If alternative rock and amazing lyrics is your thing, please check her out! Also, getting an exclusive Spotify singles vinyl helps too!

1. Seattle- This was my second time in Seattle, the first time was with my family when I was 11 years old. This time was when I was 27 and with my best friend; so this time was much better and more memorable. We did everything I wanted to do! Pike Place, Gum Wall, Breweries, OG Starbuck, Space Needle, Pop Culture Museum, Funko HQ, Fremont Troll,  many game stores, and a hike! It was a legendary trip and I will diffidently be going back in the future!

Well there you have it! Hope you guys enjoyed! Let me know what your Top 3 of October was! Wait until December when we do a Top 10 list of 2018! Thank you all for reading!

                                   All the Best, Ross

S3 Finale: Top 10 Shows of 2021

 Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This year I added a new category to Thrak Attack's lineups of adventures. I've never been a big TV show follower but I felt like with the MCU adding TV shows and access to some new streaming services to my roster over quarantine that it was time to add those adventures in! So here is a Thrak Attack first, The Top 10 Shows of 2021! 10. Hawkeye on Disney+  is not a great mini series but has some great character introductions and moments for the MCU. Most importantly introducing Kate Bishop who will hopefully take up the mantle of Hawkeye, Yelena reconciling with Clint about Natasha's death in Endgame, and the reintroduction of a character from the Netflix Marvel shows!   9. The Shrink Next Door on Apple TV+ was a short and sweet show based on a podcast which is an interesting transition. Both Paul Rudd and Will Ferrel shine in this show showcasing both of their acting chops. The plot is pretty simple but is com...

Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? Today's adventure takes us deep into the walls and underneath the ground to the land of Fraggle Rock. But this isn't the first time we've been here, we remember this place from long ago and it's time to go back. A reboot of a series that ended in 1987 is just what Apple TV+ needs right? Let's find out! Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock has 13 episodes in it's first season and it's just as charming as you remember. The muppets look as good as ever, the characters a charming, and the world building in this show is actually quite good! Each episode has a fun adventure with a pretty solid through line of exploring "outer space" which is just our world. There are some pretty great jokes that go along with this too. In the pilot episode one of the characters gets attacked by a dog, when telling his friends about it he says "I was attacked by the most vicious space monster" and it cuts to t...

S2 Finale- Top 10 Songs of 2020

 Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This year brought us a ton of music and great albums but sometimes a specific song transcends the album that it's on and sometimes artists release singles. So this is the list celebrating those gems on mediocre albums and singles artists have released throughout the year! Top 10 Songs of 2020 10. "When You Get That Feeling" by Nate Bo is a debut song from one of my good friends. It's a solid jam with an R&B vibe and wicked vibraphone solo. I used to play music with Nate in college and I'm glad to see him with a successful first song! I can't wait to see what's next for Nate in his career! 9. "Twice Your Size" by Declan McKenna is off his sophomore album titled "Zeros". Although the album suffered from production issues that muddied up the brilliant lyrics, this is the few songs that didn't suffer from that. The energy that this song brings to the table is exactly what t...
