Dark Entries: Goth Radio

6/7/2021

So with this one, we changed gears a little bit. I decided to put aside the whole Tour of Goth series for a bit because there are just so many new releases from the past 6 months that I was dying to get into. We also work in a set made up of artists from one of my favorite labels at the moment - Swiss Dark Nights. Dig it!

A Tour of Goth - Part 1

In this one, in honor of the recent World Goth Day, we take a tour of the Goth scene. We start with occult music of the '60's and '70's, then play a little bit of the earlier punkier side of the scene, and finish off with spending some time in the Batcave. This is the first of a multipart series, where we'll be exploring many of the subgenres and branches of the scene. Enjoy!

Hey, look at this. We're back! After a 5 month absence due to Covid, we're back at a new, temporary time slot of Mondays 2-4 PM (ET). We've got a lot of catching up to do.

The Corey Davis Interview -- Part 2!

Here you go, kids. Part 2 of my long chat with Rocbottom Studios creator, Corey Davis, from right before Christmas. Part 1 was just the warm up. In this one, we get deep into the lore behind projects like Shadowclub Karma and Jet Boy, and talk about how those projects, and Rocbottom Studios itself, came about. We also discuss the importance of people of color in comics and animation, and geek out over some of our favorite '90's era comics creators. Check it out and get to know one of Columbia's heroes before he goes off and becomes a household name.

Part 2 is coming soon, where we'll get deep into all the TV and film projects he has coming up, so stay tuned. Then, I discuss a few other local filmmakers and all the waves they're making (links below), and finish up with a playlist of Columbia based musical artists with genres spreading from experimental to goth to metal. Enjoy!

The 2020 Halloween Show!

Here it is! The one we lead up to every year! The 2020 Halloween Show! Just like last year, we celebrated Halloween in 1980-something! It's a slight deviation from the regular format. This time, we're flipping around, watching movie trailers, commercials, and yes, listening to spooky tunes. Just imagine that you're on your couch, carving a pumpkin, waiting on the trick-or-treaters, and enjoying all the sights and sounds of Halloween in the mid-'80's. Oh, and because this was during our Fall Fundraiser week, the usual Top 40 restrictions were lifted, so I could play whatever I wanted. Expect to hear some mainstream artists that you'd normally never hear on the show. Enjoy!
