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.

Episode 68.5: Anxious Karaoke V

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.

I’ll return shortly with your regularly scheduled, no-gimmicks-attached episode the beginning of April. A note, I’ll be out of town shortly, so episode 69 may arrive a day or so later than the first Wednesday of the month as is standard. Time will tell.

Episode 64

Greetings. I love doing this thing on the first Wednesday of every month. Anyway, I won’t wade into the failings of US electoral politics, there’s enough gloom in these songs. The short of it would be the first half is heavy on post-punk and its off-shoots; the second half is heavy on metal and punk off-shoots. It was a late night in the AE dungeon so I’ll leave you at this point. Thank you to all for your continued support.

Episode 63

Greetings! Fall has returned and with it my mood has been buoyed. This month’s installment was nearly tardy as we’ve been experiencing ailments in the AE HQ so my attention had been directed there. However, all is well in the household so I have been able to provide you with another ~hour’s-worth of musical filth.

Front half is pretty heavy on the metal tentpoles of this project and the second half is steeped in punk and its numerous offshoots. Revolutionary stuff, I tell ya. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Not much else to say but thanks as always for any and all support. I will return sooner than usual as October also features my annual dark ambient/dungeon synth/whatever episode. See you then.

Episode 62

Welcome back. I’ve got a bit of an “in like a lion, out like a lamb” situation for you all this month.

Still lots of guitar-based music if that’s your thing, worry not.

Episode 60

Greetings, faithful listeners. This episode marks the completion of the fifth cycle of the Anxiety Eternal psy-op. I hope this missive finds you well in this hellscape we call the present day.

To my tinnitus-addled ears this episode is as close to a representative example of the AE ethos as I’ve been able to muster for quite some time. This project is largely an of-the-moment exercise that isn’t always as diverse as I’d wish; time will routinely preclude me from checking as many genre boxes as I’d like while maintaining cohesion. Hopefully the sonic trail I lead you down isn’t too uneven.

With that being said, thanks to any and all support these past five years. I will return the first Wednesday of August with the next installment.

Episode 59

Greetings, thank you for returning with me this month. I’ve been feeling a bit sped up lately so you’re likely to notice that a number of the songs in this month’s iteration take their time to unfurl. That isn’t to say that there isn’t much pep, either. One pace is no pace to aspire to.

With that I’ll express my gratitude to any and all support this project has received as it nears the five-year mark. No plans to stop or slow down, either. Forever in/of/for the underground; or some other platitude. See you the first Wednesday of July.

Episode 57

Hello once again. Hopefully the all-covers episode treated you well and you were left filled with mirth and nostalgia. But it is time to return to form.

April’s episode is filled to the brim with blackened noise and…regular noise, I guess. It also starts with a great deal of punk nastiness. Perhaps I’m raging against the dying darkness as the temperature soars and my mood sours. There’s no way anyone could know. BUT, you have nearly 60 minutes of sonic mayhem to use at your discretion. Please do so.
