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.

Episode 39.5

Here arrives the third installment in the annual “Samhain” episode. Once you begin this sonic journey you’ll be prepared for the darker months ahead of you. Unless, of course, you do not reside in the hemisphere in which this collection was assembled. In which case, I suppose you could utilize these sounds to cool your brow.

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.

See you in one week for the 40th episode in our regularly scheduled malevolence.
