This one was your standard episode full of themed sets. We started off with some really cool, somewhat obscure post-punk/gothy stuff, and in the second hour we had a themed set based around SPK and its members/offshoots.

This one was a blast! Jame Lathren of Columbia's own Candy Coffins stopped by the studio for a chat. We talked about his writing process, discovering new music, and a lot more. We also played a slew of new releases and worked in a little tribute to Kevin Conroy. Dig it! 

CORRECTION: A couple of times, I mention that Vision Video and Secret Shame are playing at Swanson's Warehouse in Greenville, SC on 11/18, but that's not correct. It will actually be at The Velo Fellow. Sorry about the confusion! Got my clubs mixed up.

11/5/2022

This was a totally different show than what I'm used to doing, but it turned out to be a great time. For one, I was unusually unprepared. I almost always come in with the playlist meticulously planned, but I comepletely winged it this time. But, the best surprise was that Dub Deezy of One More Saturday Night, the show before mine, sat in and kept us all company. In between impromptu sets, we chatted about the history of WUSC, nostalgia for the days of AIM, and kept everyone updated on how the USC/Vanderbilt game was going. Dig it!

10/29/2022 - THE 2022 RETRO HALLOWEEN SHOW!

This is the one it all leads up to, kids! We spent Halloween day in 1980-something! Imagine Halloween morning, afternoon, and evening as a kid. You wake up early and spend the day flipping through morning shows, news reports, commercials, the radio, daytime TV, and finally primetime TV, as you get ready to go out trick-or-treating. We collapsed that entire day's experiences into a two hour show. Oh, and best of all, we were joined by fan favorite mortician, and my bestie, DONNA PURGE! We talked about our first halloween costumes, favorite candy, and she gave us the nitty-gritty of what it's really like to work in the funeral business. Dig it! 

10/15/2022 - THE FALL FUNDRAISER SHOW

This was our Fall Fundraiser episode! So, Top 40 restrcitions were lifted and I got to play anything I wanted! We also got into some horror talk where I gave my straight thoughts on the new Hellraiser and Halloween Ends, for good or bad. And lawd knows, there was some of both. Dig it!

9/10/2022

This one was a lot of dark fun. We had a couple of sets of brand new releases, most of which were from albums that only just dropped a couple of days ago.  Also, in the first hour, we did an entire set based around the Super Heroines album Cry For Help, and many of the musicians who appeared on it. And we finished strong with some classic '80's and '90's selections. Dig it.

9/3/2022

This one was super fun. For the first half, we had a good mix of classic stuff and brand new releases. And in the second half, we had a stellar Words of Wisdom set, a set made up entirely of artists from one of my favorite labels, Swiss Dark Nights, and we finished strong with some black metal. But best of all, I was joined by Emma, a really cool baby Dj in training, who was cool enough to hop on the mic and join in for the whole show. Can't wait to hear her show when she gets it soon. Dig it!
