Freaked: Collector's Edition Boxset (1993)
Freaked is vomit personified. I’ve never seen anything like it and I never will again. It stars Alex Winter (Bill from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey) as Ricky Coogin, a washed up TV star who gets stuck at a “freak show” in the middle of nowhere. How do they find people weird enough to join? Well, freaks aren’t born. They’re made. The side show transforms Coogin into a hideous freak along with other wacky characters like Nosey, The Human Flame, Worm, Sockhead- too many to count!
This is the father of all 90's gross-out humor. It’s like if Pee Wee’s Playhouse got run over, spat on, and thrown into a vat of toxic ooze. Puke wishes it was this gross.
We have a collector’s boxset with an insane amount of stuff here at Waterloo Records. It has fan art, stickers, essays, posters, a comic book, the script- you can become your own freak with all the stuff they give you.
This movie is trash. It’s garbage. It’s ugly. It’s crap and I love it. I dare you to buy this. If you won’t I will, so get to it!
DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS by Bad Bunny (2025)
More than words on paper and grooves that fill the airwaves; this is an affirmation of Life, Style that breathes through the currents that ebb and flow through rhymes and syncopated times: a snapshot of an island that surpasses the commodification of the phrase “Tropical Paradise.” For 62 minutes Puerto Rico feels closer than it has ever been not only to me, as a Puerto Rican living in the diaspora, but to everyone who is ready-able to experience the warmth and the embrace of a 100x35’s culture, regardless of visa, passport, or nationality. 17 tracks: a record needle’s thirst—its very own Baile Inolvidable: how it longs to backpack and tour-around the circumference of this “Commonwealth-ed” Shangri-La and distribute its genres (Salsa, Trap, Reggaeton) along the cultural zeitgeist along with an addendum that reads “Puerto Rico Lo Hace Mejor.” Hence, why Debí Tirar Más Fotos reads less like a title and more like an immersive call-to-action: a soundtrack to seize the Here and Now (Carpe Diem) as we have yet to discover tomorrow’s bounty…

The Alchemy Index, Volume I & II: Fire & Water by Thrice (2007)
Dustin, Teppei, Ed, and Riley (a.k.a. Thrice) have always been (to me) the voice of a generation: that demographic of souls that crave to have lyrics that nurture the nature of their heart’s beats and the thirst of lips that beckon for a well-versed rhyme. Cue The Alchemy Index: an album that aims to foster and forge the four (4) elements: Fire (Volume I), Water (Volume II), Earth (Volume III), and Wind (Volume IV) into an audiovisual tapestry that lives and breathes in euphoric symbiosis. Like their source material, Volume I crunches and dispels into fiery riffs that burn “drunk with vivid flames”, whilst Volume II ebbs and flows into dreamy soundscapes “between the devil and the deep blue sea.” Regardless of your musical proclivities or inclinations, these recordings are bound to stay with you until the end of times…or, at the very least, until I review Volume III and IV.
Highlights:
- “Firebreather”
- “The Messenger”
- “Backdraft”
- “The Arsonist”
- “Open Water
- “Digital Sea”
- “Open Water”
Un Destello De Luz by Adiós Cometa (2026)
Hypnotized, in a state of musical euphoria, I find myself drawn into the lush musical arrangements that glint from Costa Rica’s Adiós Cometa and their sophomore album Un Destello De Luz (2026). An immersive experience that beckons (its) listeners to feel the heavily-textured chords that circumvent one’s shoegaze expectations and rewire our idea of a record(ing)’s ecosystem. My body is suspended, mid-air, floating through the ethereality of Time and Space as my senses map a course to discover the glimmer of light that shines through the limits that constrain my ability to time travel 8 to 12 degrees North of the Equator to thank them personally for the audio-visual enlightenment.
Highlights:
- “Luminosa”
- “Una Vida En Otra Parte”
- “El Mundo En Mis Brazos (Leonor) (Feat. Fin Del Mundo)”
- “Quema La Memoria (Feat. A Su Ladera)
- “Mala Memoria (Feat. Encarta 98)
