Here’s a theory for you to completely disregard: Facebook is today’s National Enquirer. It has the same checkout-aisle trap and the same psychic nonsense, Debbie is the source now, and the aliens came back made of shrimp.

Why the hell has it taken you this long to just put a cell phone in the thing” — my actual reaction the day cellular finally arrived. Plus the MTM watch Jack Bauer wore on 24 that I was too scared to buy, and why Apple Watch Cellular is the single best product Apple has ever made.

Rolling past a guy sitting next to what looked like a loaded 45 will rearrange your priorities fast, especially when concealed carry training is part of how your brain processes it — turns out it was “just” a BB gun, and he’s lucky nobody found that out the hard way.

We sat down with Morningstar frontwoman Amber Swenor for an unfiltered conversation about their explosive new single “Free,” hitting the stage at Rock Fest 2025, and Amber’s new book Unleashed. As always, no edits, just real talk.

The crew got the transmitter off Nottingham Ridge, but they had to leave the battery bank behind in the fire. Without it, the station has no power after dark. Bill and Brett gear up in the Vault and head to Waters Edge, a marina outside Stoddard, to scavenge deep-cycle batteries off abandoned boats. The marina isn’t abandoned. Desperate holdouts are living there, and DHS has been watching the place from above. Bill and Brett get out with two batteries and one conclusion neither of them likes: the only place left with enough batteries is La Crosse.

With Cronauer gone and DHS working the streets of Viroqua block by block, Dave, Bill, and Brett have hours, maybe minutes, to strip Station Zero bare before it’s found. A stolen trailer, a bluff at a checkpoint, and one of Bill’s trademark mistakes decide how the night ends — and what’s lost for good.

Before Hot Carrier goes live, a quick heads-up on why Signal Drift’s chapter numbers are shifting as Book Two begins — the story hasn’t changed, just the count.

The headlights are blinding, the carbines are leveled, and the first major arc of the Driftless resistance has hit the end of the line. Station Zero is stepping away from the mic for a brief maintenance cycle—here is when the signal cuts back through the static for Book Two.

A gritty blend of blues, post-punk, and gothic soul — The Holy Knives deliver two releases that hit hard, haunt deep, and somehow make housecleaning an emotional experience. This is alt-blues for the modern age, and it’s absolutely worth the spin.

Two albums, ten years apart — yet completely intertwined. Heads and Tails from Basement Alchemy are a masterclass in cinematic indie rock evolution, and I didn’t even know what I was ordering when I bought them.

In the show a band called Dethklok essentially … Read more
