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 47

Another stroll down the calendar, another iteration of your least-favorite mixtape project. Does it date me that I insist on that “-tape” affix? Probably.

Lotsa punk and distortion this month. Little to be had, synth-wise; just how it goes sometimes. I found myself pleased that a number of artists I’ve long meant to include in an episode found themselves to be.

That’s all I have for this week. Thanks for the continued support and I’ll be back the first Wednesday of July.
