Dark Entries: Goth Radio

3/5/2022

We had loads of fun with this one. In the first set, I discussed all the amazing bands that are putting on shows in the Carolinas and Georgia in the next month or so, and then played a few great selections from them. Then, in the second set, we knocked out another solid set of Ukrainian Goth and Post-Punk bands. I'm having a lot of fun discovering those lately. In the second hour, we got a little weird, as we usually do, and finished strong with some requested Kaelan Mikla. Dig it.

In this one, in light of recent events, we worked in a solid set of Ukrainian coldwave and post-punk artists. I actually found so much cool stuff along those lines that I think we'll do something similar on the next episode. We also debuted a slew of new releases, and discussed that new Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie on Netflix, complete with a chainsaw themed Words of Wisdom set. Dig it! Buzz, buzz, buzz...

Here you go, folks. This one was made up of almost entirely new releases. I also got into a trick-or-treater related rant, and talked about my failed attempt at making a birthday cake (for myself) for the first time ever. Follow me on Instagram and Twitter to see the sad pics. Anyway, enjoy! 
*Quick note: At one point in the episode, I mention that Geordie Walker played with Trent Reznor, when in fact, I'm an idiot and was getting him confused with Jeordie White (aka Twiggy Ramirez). Walker is mostly known for his work with Killing Joke. Sorry!
