Episode 44.5: Anxious Karaoke III

The Return…… I have for you the third annual iteration of my all-cover-songs special. I omit (don’t check my receipts) covers for this project as I find them to be pandering as a general rule; however, I am not immune to narcissism and I started this cornball tradition during the pandemic’s heights because I missed karaoke due to the scourge of social distancing. As a lame my birthday is the rare time I can get fucked up and fuck up a song by a recording artist. Hence, Anxious Karaoke. This is all silly fun, I’ll see you in a couple weeks with earnest artistic expression (vomit).

Episode 44

Another episode “in the can.” A few more “heavy hitters” on this episode than normal, but I felt like giving some larger acts their flowers, so to speak. This month is heavier than normal (I guess) on acts from the electronic/experimental realm. Do with that information what you see fit.

Episode 41

Here it is, the final episode of the year 2022. No best-of’s or end-of-the-year lists* and whatnot, just the standard weirdness and general discomfort listeners can expect from this project.

This month leans heavily into the blackened and the punk side of things; so hopefully to your liking. I’m also pretty sure this might be the first episode with two tracks featuring female performers, which is pretty embarrassing if I’m being honest. Here’s hoping for more diversity in personnel for the coming year.

See you the first Wednesday of next month.

Back to our normal state of affairs after last week’s Autumnal/Dungeon special. Hopefully you faithful listeners were sated by episode 39.5’s subterranean hums, beeps, and groans over the Halloween weekend.

Which brings us to this month’s installment depraved collection of songs. The pace is largely lurching this go-around and hopefully it’s to your liking. The blood is thickening (or congealing depending on your condition) so breakneck speed isn’t a priority. Rest your bones and drink up the misery.

Hopefully this selection of songs finds you well. I tried to be more representative of the wider swath of genres I dabble within, so I may have over-shot myself. You tell me if this is incoherent. Enjoy and thank you for your support.

Episode 39

The rain and the cool have returned which brings much joy to my heart. Gone (for now, at least) is the heat and the stinging brightness of Summer and in its place is a comforting chill.

Perhaps this abrupt switch in climate lead to this month’s episode being heavier on the black metal than recent installments from the hotter and sunnier months. Either way, this episode likely appeals to the “black metallers” out there. I haven’t much else to say this month. Enjoy and thank you for the support.
