Episode 138 from 2023-02-04T19:47:09

My dog Winona died yesterday. This episode has nothing to do with that aside from the fact that I needed to do something to keep my mind off things.   00:00:00 Christopher Marlowe, with Frank...

Episode 136–(Mostly Weird) Metal from 2022-06-20T17:34:08

  All of these songs came out this year. Most of this is non-traditional black metal. The rest is other non-traditional metal that can barely even contain that wide genre. 00:00:00 RLYR – Head Womb...

Episode 135–Holy Music In America from 2022-05-23T16:26:26

I tried to keep a broad enough definition of"holy"to include a variety of music beyond just the obvious gospel and hymns. This is A Thick Mist so I made sure to inject some black metal, hip hop, an...

Episode 134–Carnatic Music from 2022-04-24T21:08:44

I think Hindustani tends to be the more popular style of classical Indian music in the west (see: Ravi Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan, Chatur Lal, Dagar Brothers, etc) so I figured I'd shed some light on ...

Episode 133–Appalachian Folk&Blues from 2022-04-18T22:39:31

I thought it would be fun to highlight the wide variety rolling down the mountains: everything from the banjo instrumentals of Hobart Smith to the lone black lung vocals of Nimrod Workman. I've alw...

Episode 132–Weird&Erotic from 2022-04-11T15:22:28

This episode is super explicit and not safe for work (unless you're a sex worker I guess). 99% of the spoken word is people talking about sex stuff like blowjob instructions.

Episode 131–Metal from 2022-04-03T20:24:11

I thought I'd try something new. A new process that might fit into my life and a new approach to curation that might appeal to more people.

Episode 128–Soundtrack Special from 2021-07-12T15:04:04

Got inspired to do an entire episode of soundtracks. Mostly horror and sci-fi stuff, there's a pretty good mix of new and old. The bit with Upstream Color&Annihilation is fuckin crazy.

Episode 127–Nu Metal Special from 2021-03-12T16:31:46

I love nu metal. There was a short period of my life where I was a little ashamed by it, but that's long gone. There is some really good stuff in the genre that I think most people ignored because ...

Episode 126 from 2021-03-04T15:23:52

This is the first episode in a long time with no black metal. The only metal is some massive doom. But there's also some wind harp drone, weirdo Japanese disco, the Inanga queen, the new solo acous...

I didn't intend to make a comeback on inauguration day but here we are. First normal episode in 5 months. And because this isn't being broadcast on a radio station, I could play all 47 minutes of t...

Episode 122–Halloween Special from 2020-10-28T15:32:37

Field recordings of an autopsy, a rotting corpse, and an electric chair execution, as well as cult leader monologs, trance babblings, lots of deep dark ambient, and a truly memorable ending.

Episode 121 from 2020-08-13T15:50:37

Not much metal in this one. Ihighlyrecommend checking out Cinder Well's album in full. Ends with 30+ minutes of absolute mayhem while Paul Giamatti readsA Scanner Darkly.

Episode 120 from 2020-08-06T17:11:53

This is a pretty heavy&dark episode with tons of collaging (there's 4 songs going at once for part of"Blood Rite") but ends on a light note with some simultaneous Jobin/Atkinson action and a couple...
