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).

The artists and their respective tracks are as follows with each track time  noted in the parentheses after each track:

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.

I will be returning in a little over two weeks for the third installment of the all-covers “Anxious Karaoke” special. So look forward to that nonsense if you’re so inclined. On that note, enjoy the sounds and thanks for taking the time to listen.

Episode 42

This installment was a fucking pain in the ass to introduce to the ether, but here we are. Probably the most diverse, sonically-speaking, episode in some time, but I think you’ll enjoy its odd cohesion.

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 40

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.

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.

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.
