Soundtrack of a Homeless Addict's Wife. First Place in The Soundtrack of Your Year Challenge. Content Warning.
If this were a support group meeting, I might say: Hi, my name is Marilyn. My husband is a homeless addict. Instead, I am using Vocal Media's Soundtrack of The Year Challenge to share an intimate part of my life that I haven't written about on this platform. 2024 has been a whirlwind of emotional flux as my husband's near brush with death sent me back in time reliving much heartache, anger, and frustration. Dredging up old memories recaptured a darkness I never thought I'd see again.

Finding Your Voice
There’s something almost otherworldly about standing in a room, opening your mouth, and letting a melody spill out. Singing. Just the thought of it can send shivers down your spine, right? Or maybe make your palms sweat a little. It’s not just about hitting the right notes—it’s about something deeper, something that connects us to the core of who we are.

Worldwide Panic Show Growth And Fortitude With New Song "Break Me Down"
Hard Rock/Alternative Metal band Worldwide Panic have released their furious and rebellious new track “Break Me Down”. It’s the first release from the Los Angeles, CA based band’s upcoming 2nd full-length album, which will be released in the first quarter of 2025. The song was produced by the acclaimed Bob Marlette (Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Shinedown, Rob Zombie) and mastered by Chris "Zeuss" Harris (Hatebreed, Demon Hunter, Rob Zombie, Jasta). The track is a bellicose rant against authority figures and people in positions of power who try to break down your spirit and confidence through gaslighting and mind games.

It Takes a Hell of a Long Time to Get a Bat Out of Hell
“A great song should be an erection of the heart.” — Jim Steinman I wasn’t expecting much when I saw the musical “Bat Out of Hell” the other night. I thought it would just be a musical revue of songs from the album. I was wrong. It was a great piece of theatre in its own right.

How Frank Sinatra Pissed Off David Bowie
David Bowie had fucked up, and now he was kicking himself. It was 1968, near the start of his career. To make ends meet, he was working for a music publisher writing English lyrics to foreign language songs. He’d been given a French song to work on called Comme d’Habitude. He banged out some lyrics and created a version called Even a Fool Learns to Love.
