Six years in the can and still going strong. I am finally over the halfway point at which point I can dubiously claim I’ve been at this for nearly a decade; or, if in a moment of embarrassment, it’s been “just a few years.”
Some house-cleaning to get out of the way first. It is currently a temperate 80 degrees in NYC but there is a surge in air pollution due to Canadian wildfires. So it goes. Can’t win ’em all.
As for this month’s song selections, I kept it to the basics for this “momentous” (ha!) occasion. I just looked it up and some not-shady-looking websites informed me that the sixth anniversary is the “iron” anniversary. Naturally I’ve decided to provide you maniacs with nearly an hour of death metal, grindcore, black metal, and doom metal. But, sticking with tradition/ethos, I did trojan horse some weird electronic/experimental pieces in at the end.
That’s all I have for this month. Thank you for any and all support–past, present, and future. I will return the first Wednesday of September. Onward.
