Saint Didacus has released a new single, "The Most Silent Room." Well, it isn't exactly a "new" single... or at least not entirely "new." Their Bandcamp Bio explains, "Simply put: Saint Didacus is a low-key music project for friends who are collaboratively using their talents to make a difference." We do know their one consistent member is Chef Josh Kemble (Dogwood, The FAMILY? Cast: Food & Music Is Life, Yes? Podcast.) Chef Kemble does Punk/food and drink pairings on his own through various outlets, but did a few exclusively for us here at The Witzard last year, as well. As a Bandcamp Release Notification email further explains, Saint Didacus originally released "The Silent Room" as part of their first few single releases in August of 2020, but now proclaim, "IT WASN'T FINISHED!"

Adding the song needed another part (or two,) so they "enlisted guitarist Mike Wright to join the band and pin his sludgy, Doom Metal Hardcore talents onto it," plus, the new addition of the hard-as-nails drumming talents of Joe Nixon. Saint Didacus say this is how "The (Most) Silent Room" was meant to be, even if it was birthed as a soundcheck joke jam dubbed "Punk Rock Riff." Chef Kemble states, on a more personal note, "it is a song that coincides with an upcoming track, "Standing On The Edge," which I wrote after the passing of my step-father in late 2020. Play it loud." Chef Kemble told us the current rotating line-up for Saint Didacus—or at least for "The Most Silent Room" and "This Was All."—is Danny Montoya (Dogwood) on bass, who engineers/produces the tracks, too, Mike Wright (Fighting Jacks, Ironside, Dawn Fades) on guitars and song-writing, Joe Nixon (Slick Shoes) providing drums, and Josh Kemble (Dogwood) writing lyrics and doing vocals.

"The Most Silent Room" was produced and mastered by Montoya at Thee Fat Lab with an opening speech "The Perils of Indifference," by Elie Weisel from April 1999, and track art photo by Issy Bailey from October 2019. "The Most Silent Room"'s digital release on Christmas Eve was accompanied, days later, on New Year's Eve with an official lyric video. Billed as "THE MOST SILENT ROOM. (2022 redux)" on YouTube, it's outlined within a video description as, "the bigger, bada$$-er version of "The Silent Room." This got the royal treatment with extended bridge and more breakdown madness. Opening speech is a clip from Elie Wiesel's "The Perils of Indifference."

Their next track, "Standing On The Edge," should be dropping relatively soon.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
