Episode 37

Greetings from the beginning of Heat Death: North America.

This episode marks three years completed on this project and a tumultuous three years in general. Thanks to all who have supported over the years, I’m eager to be starting the fourth cycle of this project with the episode you’re about to hear.

I won’t drone on, other than to mention (in passing) how this episode features more “big” bands than previous episodes. It wasn’t intentional, but I felt like acknowledging it.

See you next time on the first Wednesday of the month.

Episode 36

This episode marks the end of the third “season” of this vanity project. I won’t pretend that anything I’ve undertook here has impacted anything of actual merit; but it’s been an interesting distraction at best, and a rote exercise that enables me to keep track of the date.

I figure now is as good a time as any other to speak the “mission statement (ugh)” of this very project into the ether. If for no other reason than my own hubris and current intoxication. The following points are only to be read by the biggest sickos as they are immaterial to your listening experience. I still feel the need to mention them.

-I do not repeat artists/groups (with exceptions for collaborations)

-I will always feature at least one (hopefully more) group or artist featuring a person of color. There’s a sea of white boys in all of the genres I highlight and they don’t need my shine. If this bothers you, then fuck off.

-I will always feature a group or artist from NYC. It was meant derisively, but “No one ‘loves’ New York like a transplant.”

All of that navel gazing aside, here is episode 36. See you the first Wednesday of next month for the start of Anxiety Eternal’s fourth year.

Episode 35

Four weeks have past and I’ve returned with a new collection of songs to sully your day (month?).

June’s chapter finds itself heavy on the slower scale of tempos as a general pace. A few sections reach rollicking heights, but this is largely a lurch. Hopefully this is to your liking. Coincidentally there’s a strong Canadian contingency this month, so cheers to my neighbors to the North.

So without further ado, I’ll bid you adieu. Thanks for the support and we’ll cross paths again the first Wednesday next month when the weather’s even worse.

Episode 34

I have returned with nearly an hour’s worth of filth and depravity. Not a great deal of variety ( genre-wise, at least) on this month’s episode, but there are some real gems in here. Those unfamiliar or perhaps even averse to more experimental sounds, steel yourself as you’re likely familiar with the artists’ other work. Namely Uniform, Intensive Care, Endless Blockade, et al. Other than that, I don’t have much to report; I’ll let the sounds do the work.

Thank you as always for any and all support and I’ll see you the first Wednesday of next month.

Episode 32.5: Anxious Karaoke

We’re back. I am, like many humans, a self-centered person. And as such, I like to do karaoke on my birthday and artists covering other artists is effectively “professional karaoke”.

Episode 29

Another calendar year is reaching its conclusion and I bring you a slow and somber episode to usher in the New Year. This might be the noisiest episode I’ve assembled yet, so if you wanted more of the go-go-go velocity this might not scratch that itch, but you might be surprised, too. Who knows.
