Words can’t express how awesome it feels that the last three articles I’ve written for Oregon Music News have been about stoner/doom metal. Read ‘em here.
I'm Cat Jones. I'm an intern at MetalSucks, writer at Oregon Music News and a stoner/doom-metal historian of sorts in Portland, Oregon. This is my personal blog for articles I write, photos I take and various things that inspire me or make me happy.

On repeat forever. I’m really bummed that Matt says they won’t be playing it on Saturday. Just means I’ll have to keep seeing ‘em until they do!

If you have the patience for it, this song is like seductive, drone-doom trip-hop. Lie down, close your eyes, and let it wash over you. And you know what? It’s a cover of Metallica’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls”.

This song is like an old friend: You don’t have to keep in touch, but when you catch up, it’s like no time has passed.

The band’s frontman, Todd Fink, chatted me about the tour, the decision to re-issue Danse Macabre, being outsiders in the dance music scene and why they’ll never play anything from their first album.
Had a great chat with Todd Fink of The Faint tonight about the Danse Macabre reissue, the new tour and why their first album sucked.
Interview should be up Tuesday!

DAMN. I am IMPRESSED. Someone worked really, really hard on this. Whoever you are: I want to shake your hand.
This is a song about a person who drowns in a river and tries to seduce his lover to join him in death from beyond the grave. An excellent metaphor for a lot of life dilemmas, if you ask me, and a heart-wrenchingly beautiful song.
It brought tears to my eyes when I first heard it and I’ve had it stuck in my head ever since.
“Rest your head on the river bed. Drink from the river and find your way to me.”
