Episode 49

I’ve returned with a new collection of depraved songs to dazzle and disappoint. This month’s episode is pretty heavy on black metal and its offshoots. At least relative to my recent output. Perhaps it’s my subconscious straining and bucking from the heat.

I’ve now officially been making song selections for strangers (at least this cohort) for four years. Thank you to all who have listened over the years. Hopefully you continue to do so as I begin year five of this project.

Greetings, I’ve returned with more grinding discomfort for all. This month is pretty heavy on death metal and grindcore; lots of black metal and speed, in general. Must be the heat which is currently hampering my brain and spirit.

Another stroll down the calendar, another iteration of your least-favorite mixtape project. Does it date me that I insist on that “-tape” affix? Probably.

Lotsa punk and distortion this month. Little to be had, synth-wise; just how it goes sometimes. I found myself pleased that a number of artists I’ve long meant to include in an episode found themselves to be.

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.

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.
