Episode 83

Greetings from the center and the edge of the universe. I’ve returned with a smattering of songs to tame your restraint and encourage your worst behavior.

We start off with a chunk of industrial/experimental work before hitting a pocket of punk and punk-adjacent material before finally hitting some black metal and death metal. Innovative!

Surprising amount of horns this month, but it may not be obvious. I don’t have much else to add other than my gratitude for any and all support.

I’ll be back in four weeks on the first Wednesday of July with more idiocy. Thanks for listening. Onward.

Episode 82

Greetings from a time later than usual. There has been plague in the AE dungeon so I apologize for my mild truancy.

Lots of metal on the front end (metal of death, I suppose) while side two is decidedly more of the punk variety. You get what you get and forget if you’re upset. I don’t have much else to add this month. Breathe the air and stay off the internet if you can.

I’ve returned with more nonsense and in record time, I believe. Heavy on the noise (kinda) and the slower pace (certainly) this month. Perhaps I was influenced by the full moon; it’s anyone’s guess.

Episode 78

New year and more of the same. This is the first episode composed completely using my new computer. Kinda odd that my old computer was relatively new when I started this project. But enough navel gazing.

This month’s episode offers little in the way of melody but it features a lot of death metal and black metal, so that’s pretty great. I don’t feel like writing much more due to jet lag/sleep deprivation, but thanks for all the support over the years. Sic Semper Tyrannis and Fuck 12.

I will return the first Wednesday of February with more filth and irresponsible music in general. Onward.

Episode 75

I have returned and I hope this offering finds you well. What we have here is a song collection that’s pretty long in the tooth. Due to reasons I won’t bore you with I made a conscious effort to input songs I had long liked but had yet to include here, until now.

This collection of death and optimism will please your sensibilities, I trust, if you’ve found yourself in my corner of the internet.

I won’t keep you (or me) here for long as it’s much too nice outside and the dungeon can wait for my return. That being said, I will return in a few weeks with the newest iteration of the Samhain Special. Ready your armor! And thank you for your support.

Hello again. Back with more of what you didn’t ask for. Heavier presence of electronics on this installment which I try to balance with all the crunch and screaming.

Episode 73

Six years in the can and still going strong. I am finally over the halfway point at which point I can dubiously claim I’ve been at this for nearly a decade; or, if in a moment of embarrassment, it’s been “just a few years.”

Some house-cleaning to get out of the way first. It is currently a temperate 80 degrees in NYC but there is a surge in air pollution due to Canadian wildfires. So it goes. Can’t win ’em all.

As for this month’s song selections, I kept it to the basics for this “momentous” (ha!) occasion. I just looked it up and some not-shady-looking websites informed me that the sixth anniversary is the “iron” anniversary. Naturally I’ve decided to provide you maniacs with nearly an hour of death metal, grindcore, black metal, and doom metal. But, sticking with tradition/ethos, I did trojan horse some weird electronic/experimental pieces in at the end.

That’s all I have for this month. Thank you for any and all support–past, present, and future. I will return the first Wednesday of September. Onward.

Episode 72

Greetings, this episode marks the end of the sixth cycle of this project. Next month will mark its sixth anniversary; I’m not good at basic math.

We kick things off with some noisy experimentation before gliding into more familiar blackened material. The second side begins with slower material before smashing into a sizable crust blossom that subsides into some slow-burn material.

That’s all I have to say subject matter-wise. Look after your own and don’t let these fascist bastards wear you down. I will return the first Wednesday of August for the sixth anniversary.

Episode 71

Greetings, fellow odds. This month’s installment kicks off quick with some hardcore punk nastiness before settling into some metal of death. Episode 71 also features the longest track I’ve included to date. Always trying to push boundaries, I guess.

Hello again, friends. I’ve returned with the fifth installment of the all-covers special known as “Anxious Karaoke.” I’m pretty pleased with the balance and variety of this year’s installment.
