Serving the terminally bored since 1997
Lock me up and throw away the key, gherkins! In this episode of “They Should’ve Been Bigger” we’ll be learning about Tex and the Horseheads — one of the greatest and, sadly, often overlooked bands to come out of the early L.A. Punk scene.
Tex and The Horseheads – S/T – 1984 full album
Tex and The Horseheads – Life’s So Cool – 1985 full album
Please join me for another relaxing day spent in a cemetery.
I’m aware that Pride cometh before The Fall, but we’re well into Autumn, so I feel safe in saying that I’m VERY PROUD of this episode.

Yesterday, Vienna, a few of our friends, and I were lucky enough to make it out to the annual Market of the Macabre at Laurel Hill Cemetery. The following video chronicles our adventures. While the video is presented sans narration or explanatory text, I did, however, write a score for it — a ten minute score.
Well, it’s that time of year again! Every year for the last …um…two years I’ve released new tracks in celebration of Halloween. Last year I released Tales From The FrankenCartridge and this year I’m releasing the originally titled Halloween Singles 2025.
