Hellooooooooo face melting tunes! Eighteen Visions released a new album this year that is 18V before OBSESSION era vocals and more UNTIL THE INK RUNS DRY and VANITY vocals. One of the things I have always loved about Eighteen Visions is James Hart’s voice. He manages to belt out screams that aren’t an assault on your ears. Some vocalists who scream their vocals sound like two feral … Continue reading SOTM: March of the Pigs by Eighteen Visions

I’m going to go out on limb and say, a lot of people probably haven’t listened to THE GRASSABILLIES. The Grassabillies are from western North Carolina and are fronted by Luke Edwards (Animal Bag, Tater) with Robbie Helton (EmiSunshine) and Randy Saxon (Overmountain Men). Robbie has said in other articles, he wanted to resurrect his old band The Grassabillies and with Luke and Randy on … Continue reading Have You Listened To: The Grassbillies
All I can say is I am glad July is ending. It’s been a doozy. Maybe the toughest month of 2017 to date. Despite the darkness of July, the heartache, the tears, it gave me wonderful songs that for the most part, lifted my soul and spirit. Listen/watch HERE or below. Spotify users can listen HERE, minus the Linkin Park cover of “Rolling in the Deep”. Continue reading “Songs of My Life: July 2017”
“The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist. And like that, poof. He’s gone.” ~Verbal (The Usual Suspects) If the kids in Stranger Things have “The Upside Down”, I have “The Darkness” and I don’t mean, “I believe in a thing called love” Darkness. Though I do believe in a thing called love, “The Darkness” I was hanging out … Continue reading The Greatest Trick the Devil Ever Pulled
I woke up at 6am (4pm US) and I hit snooze on the alarm. I just wasn’t ready to face the day and was so ready to have the week come to an end that I just wanted to be in bed a few moments longer. It’s been a shit week. My dearest, closest friend and soul sista lost her father. In being there for … Continue reading In The End
I give you Volume 2. Narrowing this down to 20 was so freaking hard. So many songs!! The last 20 years have been filled with gems that’s for sure. I also realized I am quite influenced by songs with “train” in the title. There was two in Volume 1, one here. Again, these songs are a part of who I am and have influenced me for … Continue reading The Music History of Shelia: Volume 2 (1996-2016)
This was inspired by a conversation I had one night with Nick. Though I suggested to him there should be a mix tape/playlist made for “The Music History of Nick”, it got me thinking of my own music history. Music has been in my life for as long as I can remember. Both of my parents love music and their choices were as eclectic as mine … Continue reading The Music History of Shelia: Volume 1 (1975-1995)
Caught in a web Can’t get out Covered in dust Caught in a web Don’t want out Lost between pieces of broken trust Caught in a web Will get out Swept into the wind of love and lust *inspired by the dusty web outside the laundry room Continue reading Dusty Web
In 2014, I started a little website called 16 Clefs. It was an outlet for me to talk about music. I loved doing it but it kind of fell to the wayside after about a year because it was just exhausting to run. I’ve decided to bring back a stripped down version of 16 Clefs via my current website/blog. To bring 16 Clefs back to … Continue reading SOTM: Comfortable by Lanks
