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.

Thank you for your continued support and I am looking forward to another year of miserable sounds.

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 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.

Greetings from the beginning of Heat Death: North America.

This episode marks three years completed on this project and a tumultuous three years in general. Thanks to all who have supported over the years, I’m eager to be starting the fourth cycle of this project with the episode you’re about to hear.

I won’t drone on, other than to mention (in passing) how this episode features more “big” bands than previous episodes. It wasn’t intentional, but I felt like acknowledging it.

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.

Episode 32

First Wednesday of the month means it’s time for more filth. This month’s installment feels pretty parabolic to me, but that could be the lack of sleep. Not a lot of noise/experimental material this time around, but there’s lots of feedback, so worry not.
