Dark Entries: Goth Radio

After a little bit of a hiatus for a few weeks, we're finally back. In this one, I disucussed DJ'ing the Tim Cappello show at Art Bar last weekend, and debuted a load of new releases. It's good to be back and keeping it spooky!  PLAYLIST Tim Cappello - I Still Believe The Palace of Tears - Black Obsedian Beyond Oblivion Principe Valiente - Something New Lovelorn Dolls - A Heart Cries Mekong - Ice...

This one was one of my faves of the year. The fundraiser shows allow us to temporarily suspend our non-Top 40 policy, so the reins came off and I was able to play loads of artists I normally wouldn't have been able to get away with. The theme for the week was "road trips", so all of the tracks pertained to road trips, destinations, and just traveling in general. Dig it!  PLAYLIST Kiss - Detroit Ro...

This one was a little bit of a swtich-up, with no new releases at all. Instead, I dragged out my old CD notebooks and dug into the vault at the station, and we took things back to the Batcave. I did work in a small themed set in the beginning though, dedicated to the passing of my sweet little cat Squeakers. I'll miss that sweet little ball of floof and squeaks. :( PLAYLIST Bauhaus - Rosegarden Fu...

In this one, we changed up the format a little and started off with some older Post-Punk, before settling into new releases for the rest of the show. I also discussed my appreciation for the cult classic My Demon Lover and revealed my first ever celebrity crush. You might be surprised who it is. Enjoy!  PLAYLIST Marthe -- Sisters of Darkness Malaria! -- Your Turn to Run Magazine -- The Light Pours...

With this one, we jumped into 2024 by debuting some of my favorite new releases, including some friends of the show and one of my fave new finds - Columbia, SC based band Nightsweat. Enjoy!  PLAYLIST Chelsea Wolfe -- Whispers in the Echo Chamber  Nightsweat -- Sanguine Consequence ANG!E -- Dance Machine Tears for the Dying -- Dagger in God's Back Night Nail -- Cells VAZUM -- Blush West Wickhams --...

Here you go, boils and ghouls. It's the last part of our look back at some of my fave releases of last year. Along the way, I also nerded out about binging Star Trek: The Next Generation for the first time ever, as well as playing Miles Morales on the PS4. I could honestly do 3 more parts of these, but it has to end sometime, and I'm itching to play some of the fantastic new 2024 releases that hav...

Here you go. More of my look back at some of my fave releases of 2023. We start off with 4 more tracks from the soundtrack to the upcoming film Pater Noster and the Mission of Light and spend the rest of the night mapping out a myriad of sinister sounds from last year. I also discussed attending the Days of the Dead horror con last weekend, and kind of rediscovered They Might Be Giants. Enjoy!  PL...

These looks back at my favorite releases of the past year are some of my favorite episodes, and here's Part 1! This one involves loads of local releases, including a new band that is, in my opinion, one of the most exciting things to ever come out of Columbia.   PLAYLIST Frayle -- Bright Eyes Pater Noster and the Mission of Light -- Come Out and Sing Father Pater Noster and the Mission of Light --...

Here it is, boils and ghouls. Time for some holiday horrors. It's the last show of the year, full of Christmas creeps, Haunnukah haunts, and ghoulish yule. Keep it spooky!

This one was a fun one, because I skipped my usual process of planning the show out from beginning to end. Instead, in the first hour, I just winged it and used that time to throw on some of my favorite Batcave and other retro tracks. In the second hour, we worked in another set from the new compilation from Darkness Calling, 'Back from the Grave - Vol 2' . Finally, we honored a request with a sho...

We're still getting over our Halloween Hangover here, so here's another show chock full of gothy new releases and horror business.

We then had the usual Words of Wisdom and a couple of tracks from Darkness Calling's newest compilation, Back from the Gra...

This is it, ghosts and goblins! The one we build up to all year. Join us as we flip channels on our TV and radio for a montage of morning shows, news reports, commercials, interviews, late night Halloween specials, and of course, spooky tunes. All on Halloween night in 1980-something! I also gave my thoughts on The Exorcist: Believer and told the story of finally tracking down a collection of horr...

To celebrate Friday the 13th on....ahem...Saturday the 14th, this one was full of machetes, campfire stories, premarital sex, and bad decisions.

This show's got a death curse!  PLAYLIST London After Midnight -- October Henry Manfredini -- Overlay of Evil / Main Title Dead Cool -- Faith or Misery Tenderlash -- Inferno (DX Cojo Twin Doors to He...

Most of this episode continued our giant catchup of new releases, aside from the last set, which was made up of bands that played Absolution Fest on Saturday night. I also discussed seeing and meeting Priest and Aeon Rings in the week, my thoughts on Saw X, and talked about a crappy encounter in the theatre while seeing The Exorcist on the big screen last week. Check it out!   PLAYLIST * = request...

In this one, we caught up with some new releases and worked in a set from a new sampler from one of my favorite labels, UTM Music Group . I was also joined on the air by a couple of youngling DJ's in training, which led to some interesting and unexpected conversations. Dig it!  PLAYLIST Xmal Deutschland -- Gheimnis Belgrado -- Rytmy Wszech​ś​wiata Empathy Test -- Monsters Lunar Paths -- September...

It was nice to be back after being off for a couple of weeks. With the exception of a few tracks here and there, the show was pretty much made up of entirely new releases. I was joined by a baby DJ in training, DJ Super Neo. In between sets, we discussed Stranger Things, Waffle House, and what hip-hop I should be listening to. It was fun to have a guest in, and I'll be looking forward to his own s...

Plus, the usual Words of Wisdom and a huge announcement of all the cool shows coming to the Carolinas and Georgia in the coming weeks.  PLAYLIST Sopor Aeternus and the Ensemble of Shadows -- Do You Know My Name? / What Has Happ...

DJ Dub Deezy from One More Saturday night (catch his show before mine 6-8 PM) hung out for the first half hour and we talked about dead celebrities, Barbie, Oppenheimer, our first childhood crushes, and more. Then, I worked in a little tribute to Sinéad O'Connor and Paul Reubens, and spent the rest of the show plyaing a good mix of new and older releases. Dig it!  PLAYLIST Danny Elfman -- Breakfas...

This one was pretty eventful!
