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. 

*I always appreciate (assuming the person doesn’t have shit taste) reading a well-curated best-of list. Please do not hesitate to share yours.

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.

Greetings from Hell! Warm weather and all its disgusting acolytes (pollen, sandle-wearers, backsweat, et al) are here.

Warm weather is rapidly approaching and with it comes a general lethargy that I think you’ll find adequately represented in these songs. I guess that’s an indirect way to imply that a lot of slow music awaits you. Not much else to say, get fucked up and zone out.

Another one in the books. It’s been a curious experience to compile the last two episodes while completely sober. I’m curious as to whether there is a noticeable difference to a listener. Meh.
