OH HAI.

Hello, internet. My name's Alex Russelburg, and I'm going to fuck your mind with magic. We're getting ready to embark on a journey. A cool one. Like, with dragons and shit. I'm here to talk about foreign flicks, Hanson, and beautiful women with dangerous diseases. You're here to report me to the police in case my ramblings imply psychotic homicidal tendencies. I sense this is the beginning of a perfectly adequate friendship.

I joined up with Undercover Awesome because Garrett promised me cookies. Or maybe I imagined that. Either way, I am experiencing a severe lack of baked goods. That'll make writing this intro harder, but I'll endure it somehow.

I've been obsessed with the offbeat for years, probably starting with my exposure to Plan 9 From Outer Space. I'm sure you're aware of it, but just in case you're a loser, it's a movie universally known as being a terrible piece of shit. Regardless, some people can find a certain quantity of charm in it, whether it's intentional or not. I'm one of those people.

My primary goal with Into The Obscure is to shine some light on these quirky little turds that most of you have never heard of. They may not even be turds. Some of the things I'm thinking of reviewing are musical acts that may even rival The Beatles. Or maybe I'm just hopelessly confused. Either way, they're really damn good, and they deserve far more attention than what they get. I'm here to give them that attention.

And so our journey begins.
