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.

See you the first Wednesday of next month.

Episode 39.5

Here arrives the third installment in the annual “Samhain” episode. Once you begin this sonic journey you’ll be prepared for the darker months ahead of you. Unless, of course, you do not reside in the hemisphere in which this collection was assembled. In which case, I suppose you could utilize these sounds to cool your brow.

Hopefully this selection of songs finds you well. I tried to be more representative of the wider swath of genres I dabble within, so I may have over-shot myself. You tell me if this is incoherent. Enjoy and thank you for your support.
