Episode 75.5: Samhain Special VI

Here we go again, the sixth installment of the Samhain series is now ready for your attention. For the uninitiated, this is an annual experiment in testing my listeners’ patience. A shorter episode in which I basically make a Halloween sound effects tape out of “intro(s),” “outro(s),” “interlude(s),” and other snippets of (mostly) instrumental passages. It’s a bullshit “dungeon synth” album, I guess. Anyway, I hope (think?) you’ll enjoy it. If not, a regular episode will be arriving shortly.

Thanks for the continued support and I will return with a new episode the first Wednesday of November.

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.
