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

S2 Ep. 1- Top 10's of the Decade

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure takes us on a journey to the past! 2010 and onward! What were my favorite albums, songs, video games, and movies from the past decade? What better way to kick off the new year, decade, and season than taking a look back! So here we go, season 2! Top 10 of the OT's! TOP 10 ALBUMS 10. "Awaken, My Love!" by Childish Gambino is one the quintessential albums of the decade. The cultural and musical influences he uses and creates with this album are astonishing! 9. "Wasting Light" by Foo Fighters is one of many they released this decade but is the album I believe is their best of them all. Even with "Concrete and Gold's" production value and "Sonic Highways" concept, this one is just the best. 8. "Sugar" by G. Love and Special Sauce is the return to form for the underrated group. Jimi Jazz returns on bass to create one of the legendary trio...

Pokemon Cinematic Universe

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure was Detective Pikachu which is an awesome live action Pokemon Movie but not the Pokemon we were expecting. Even though this movie was really well done, I believe there in the future for us in regards to another cinematic universe. The way they handled this film and the references in it are perfectly done and do set up a future for this for happening. SPOILER WARNING for Detective Pikachu, if you have not seen this please, go watch the film and then come on back! Alright let's get started with the film we received this past weekend. Pokemon: Detective Pikachu is a mystery film taking place in the Pokemon World based on a video game of the same name. Tim Goodman meets a talking Pikachu after his father mysteriously passes away. Throughout the film we realize that it is actually his father trapped inside Pikachu's body although none of the characters know this until the end. The villain's plan...

S2 Ep. 4- April Showers Bring More Adventures

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This month's adventures take us to a bunch of places including AWOLNATION, Bumblebee, Midgar, and Camp Verde. It's been a pretty solid month with some pretty solid adventures! Let's see which one tops the list and which ones fall flat! 8. "Fetch the Bolt Cutters" by Fiona Apple This album is not at all what I expected it to be at all. I really liked Fiona Apple's older hits but I never actually dove into her discography past that. I didn't really know what I was jumping into and what I heard was not my favorite. The lyrics are cool, some of the piano work is really good but the songs are just strange and that's not really my vibe in music tastes. The songs that stick out on this one are "Shameika" and "Under the Table" but other than that it's just an odd album which isn't my thing. 7. "The New Abnormal" by The Strokes This is the strokes 6th studio al...
