About Us


There is a good chance you found us accidentally by using the word “taint” in your search (If you found us on purpose, you deserve our accolades). Of course, we don’t know what you were looking for, but you stumbled on a damn cool project. Look around; let us help send you on a musical journey. Here you will find a number of album reviews from the strange and extreme to the tame and mainstream. Our reviewers are a bunch of obsessive miscreants. Most of us are avid music collectors and have been involved in the music world for decades. A couple of us have been in or are still in bands.

There are no rules on Tickle Your Taint Blog. Our reviewers might make you laugh, or piss you off; both results are legitimate. One reviewer might write a glowing review of an album; another might tear it apart. We may have a new review every week, or we could end up with one every six months. This blog exists as a social experiment to build community among a diverse group of music maniacs – our reviewers and hopefully you.

Postcard: AntiChrist-iansen to Five-Inch Taint, January 2018

Dearest Five-Inch Taint,

In addition to learning that you are a well-known Icelandic folk singer (see flip-side), my travels have also taught me of the elusive feared North Atlantic cousin of La Chupacabra, the Kertikabra. Walking the streets of Reykjavik post-Christmas, I noticed these strange Viking-like candelabras adorned in, not most, but ALL of the front windows of every home I passed. I was discussing it amongst my kin, when a local passerby hushed me rudely. We immediately returned his stink eye with more questions and out of impatience and fear she reluctantly told us the tale of ol’ Kerti. This Krampus-like-cabra eats the youngest of every household that fails to pay respect to him by the lighting of these candelabras that share his holiness likeness. Needless to say, we’re coming home without Pete. Turns out visitors in Airbnbs are not exempt.

Best,

AntiChrist-iansen
