    What is the fastest land animal?

  • The SCREAMER MAGAZINE Mixtapes, Volume 2

    The Lonely Ones—Change The Station So much of what passes for “music” these days is targeted at the masses, and thus seems to value visuals over talent. As evidence we see the rise of over processed, over polished bland boring pop that unfortunately seems to permeate every aspect of society.  All of this makes Change The Station by The Lonely

  • The SCREAMER MAGAZINE Mixtapes, Volume 1

    Hello Screamer Readers! I have been writing about music since 1988, and it’s fair to say that 2020 was the most challenging year ever for all involved in creating, recording and performing live music.

  • BRIAN WHEAT - Son Of A Milkman, My Crazy Life With Tesla - book review

    Being the youngest of six children, my older siblings used to tease me about being the milkman's son.  Now, if you were born after the late 1960's, you are probably thinking, what is a milkman?  In the olden days, local dairies used to deliver milk and other dairy products, door to door to households in neighborhoods all over their geographic
