Randy Kornhusker
Thursday, October 17, 2024
So, I made up this country / hick type of character like 10 years ago. His name is Randy Kornhusker. Never thought I’d use him in any of my projects until I heard the Rage Against the Machine song “Renegades of Funk” on the radio about 2 months ago. When I was listening to the hook, I thought to myself, “It sounds like he’s saying ‘We’re the redneck gays that fuck’”. Lol. Immediately I knew I had to make a parody song to that instrumental. It was too good of an idea not to do. Pretty much just wrote the lyrics about certain current events that have happened these past few years with sex references mixed in it.
For now, there are 3 Randy Kornhusker accounts. Vimeo, YouTube, and TikTok. We'll see how long they last though. The RK YouTube account already got taken down within 2 hours of me making it. I didn't even have anything uploaded to it yet. I did appeal the deletion of the channel though. Still waiting to hear if YouTube is gonna accept or deny the appeal. But for now, the videos are up on it. So we'll see. Kind of makes me mad though, because there are a lot worse things on YouTube than this song and video that have so many views. Can YouTube just push some of my videos that I've busted my ass on? That's why I made a Vimeo and TikTok for this video too. Maybe I'll get some love (or hate, lol) on their sites.
Click the title of this blog to check out the full song and video on Vimeo.
Til next time, this is got damn Randy got damn Kornhusker!! signing off... :)

The last 3 ZOMBIFY videos from these past 2 releases, along with a new reel, are now up on YouTube. Not saying this is the end of ZOMBIFY, but I am gonna shift my focus back to film in the next couple of months. I’M COMING OUT OF SHORT FILM RETIREMENT!!! Lol!! I have ideas for 3 new short films, plus my cousin wants to make a 20-minute horror short film as well. So I’ll be working on the scripts for those in the next couple of weeks. That’s all for now.

ZOMBIFY Live Set @ Henry K's
Sunday, July 28, 2024
Click the title of the blog to watch my live set from last night at Henry K's bar here in Flatonia. I guess overall it was a good set. The people that were there said it was good. Honestly though, I messed up a few times, and I still feel awkward talking in front of people between songs. I never know what to say. It's like I freeze up with nerves. Lol. I'm in my own head a lot of the time too. Just a little introvert. I'm pretty critical of myself, so I gotta admit the set was mid in my opinion. Lol. Maybe the more live sets I do, the more comfortable and confident I'll get being in front of a crowd. But thanks to everyone who came out to the show and for the encouragement. I need it sometimes. Much love. :)

27 RED album & Kid with a Camera EP
Thursday, June 27, 2024
2 NEW ZOMBIFY RELEASES NOW ON BANDCAMP!! 27 RED album & KID WITH A CAMERA EP. It's still 15 new songs in all. I just decided to separate them into 2 different releases because Kid with a Camera EP is 5 darkwave / goth rock beats with turntable scratches added to them. Shout out to DJ Jan from Australia for adding the scratches. The 27 RED album is 10 tracks and is a mix of trap metal, nu metal, rap rock, and witch house type of beats. And shout out to Terrence for mixing and mastering both releases for me again. Thanks man. That's pretty much it. GO LISTEN!!! And be on the lookout for the music videos from these two releases!!! Coming soon...

Also, wanted to mention how today is the 25th anniversary of when Tony Hawk landed the first ever 900 at X-Games on ESPN. I remember watching it live when it happened as a kid. I was 12, but I actually didn't get into skateboarding until a couple of years later when Jackass aired on MTV and I saw CKY2K for the first time. From there, I was off to the races. I never was really that good, but enjoyed doing it. I could only do a few basic tricks and grinds, but those were some of the best years of my life. Good memories. Good times. That's why when I watched the SportsCenter featured segment about the 900 a couple of days ago, I had goosebumps and started to tear up towards the end of the video. It hit me on so many levels. Just always wanted to be a part of something special and do great things. Now I'm rambling. Lol. I'll end it here. Much love. :)
ZOMBIFY LIVE HOME SESSIONS 2
Wednesday, May 22, 2024
A new live home session is now up on the Dustin Cardenas Video YouTube. It's 11 tracks. Hopefully that will hold you down until new music comes. WHICH IS STARTING NEXT WEEK!!!!!! Lol. Gonna start recording for my next album next week. 15 tracks and will be called "27 RED". That's my number I play on roulette. If you ever play, try 3 RED too. That's my mom's number that she hit on when we went to Vegas for her birthday last year. It was crazy. Anyway, that's all for now.

Spent this past spring and summer working on these videos. This is the longest video run I've done with over 30 videos in all. Hope yall will check them out!!!
Also, I want to give a shout out to Captain Dugog from the UK who added the turntable scratches to 12 of the songs on the XXX album. I have a thing for turntables used in rock songs as I grew up with the boom of nu-metal in the late 90s / early 2000s. Just wanted to try something new by adding scratches to darkwave / goth rock type of beats. Thanks again man for hooking them up. Also, shout out to Terrence from Connecticut that's been mixing and mastering my last couple of releases. Really appreciate it.
Well, all I can say now is... GET READY FOR ANTI-FAMOUS!!!! Lol.
Much love, everyone... :)

ZOMBIFY live set @ The Lyric Theater
Tuesday, February 21, 2023
Click the title of the blog to check out my live ZOMBIFY set at the Lyric Theater this past Sunday. Bare with me on the audio though. It's not the best. My camera wasn't connected to the soundboard or anything. The audio is just the house speakers in the theater. It's kind of hard to hear what I say at times (which my voice issue doesn't help too much either.. lol). Plus, I was given a crash course of the soundboard the day before. To me, the back tracks could've been lower and the mic level higher. Also, I'm still getting used to being on stage in front of people. It's not that I was nervous, but it's like I tense up when I'm performing. Just gotta learn to relax I guess. Just some things to work out. And thanks to all the friends and family that came out to the show. Much love. AND ON TO THE NEXT... :)

Instinct, Night Visions, Confidence, Reel 13
Friday, September 23, 2022
The last 3 ZOMBIFY music videos to the album, A Devil with a Heart, are now online!! (Along with Reel 13) These are the last videos of this video run that I’ve been doing the past 2 months. In case you’re wondering what’s next, I’m now going to revise the feature film script I wrote 6 years ago, titled “Get Down For The Revolution”. Shout out to At All Cost for the inspiration to the film. Plus, all the experiences and stories of the MJL videos and making music videos in Houston.
As far as music goes, I have some more darkwave/post punk/goth rock type beats that I plan on making another album with. However, I’m looking for a turntablist to add Linkin Park style (Hybrid Theory/Meteora era) scratches and sounds to them. My goal when I first started doing music was to combine darkwave and rap. Don’t know if anyone else has tried that, but I’d like to try something new that no one else is doing. I’ve always been a fan of turntablism in rock, so why not try it in darkwave.
Also, if there are any producers in the central Texas area that are interested in making beats for me, I’m down to meet up and sit down with you to work on them. I have a few melody ideas, plus a list of 20+ songs that have sounds in them that I’d like to take and make original beats out of.
So if you’re interested in any of my ideas above, my email is below to contact me. HIT ME UP!! :)
