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.

See you in three weeks for the third annual dungeon synth / dark ambient special.

Episode 38

Welcome back, friends. The heat is breaking and it rained all day today which places me in a superior mood for this monthly exercise. Hopefully you, the listener, find this installment to be smoother and less formulaic than the last few. I try not to fall into a pattern but no one is immune to the siren song of “That’ll do.”

That being said, I feel like this episode is very natural in its unfurling and eventual denouement. Hopefully you find it enjoyable.

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.

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.

The weather is finally, mercifully transitioning to a station more to my favor; this likely contributed to a stronger presence of black metal than more recent episodes.

Episode 26

Back at it from a short layoff, but that’s just how the calendar works. This month’s episode isn’t the most dynamic or diverse (genre-wise), but it’s pretty snappy, if I do say so myself.

I’m eager for autumn to begin officially in a few short (I hope) weeks as I just cannot stand summer time. Hopefully the cooling weather doesn’t lead to more Covid variants mutating in the lungs of the stupidest members of society. It’s been pleasant attending shows again after such a long layoff. That’s all I’ve got for this month. Be well.
