Dark Entries: Goth Radio

In this one, we took care of some new releases, worked in a short Father's Day themed set, and ended with a horror punk/psychobilly set. I also did a little horror talk and discussed 2 series I've been watching lately - one I really enjoyed and the other, well, I also watched. Dig it!  PLAYLIST Bauhaus -- The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (live) Blood Ceremony -- Eugenie  Skeletal Family -- My Own Redem...

It was good to be back after a week off! Most of the show was made up of new releases, except for one set of selections from a new compilation called Back from the Grave - Vol. 1 , featuring a collection of LGBTQIA+ artists and allies all doing songs inspired by 'Return of the Living Dead'. Dig it!  PLAYLIST Christian Death -- Ashes All My Thorns -- Every Corner of Light Gotia -- Catedral Sata  Gr...

In this one, we switched things up a little. In the first hour, we played a mix of older releases that have been doing it for me lately, and we filled the second hour with a solid assortment of brand new releases. We also worked in a little tribute to Rozz Williams, and went over a lot of the cool shows coming to the Carolinas and Georgia in the coming weeks. Check it out!  PLAYLIST Sopor Aeternus...

In this one, I discussed seeing and meeting Clan of Xymox last week, revisiting all my old Columbia/campus haunts, and all the cool shows that are coming to the southeast soon. Along the way, we worked in a giant load of brand new releases, and finished strong with a throwback Batcave set. Check it out! PLAYLIST Clan of Xymox – A Day (live) Dead Cool -- Stranger Kind Belgrado -- Boixar  Renonce --...

This one was interesting. We only had 3 sets in the show, but we packed a lot into them. First, we had one made up of new releases from all over the place. Then, we did our usual Words of Wisdom set, and finished strong with a set made up somewhat new releases from one of my favorite labels, Swiss Dark Nights. Also, I basically caught a cold right before starting the show, and if you listen close,...

We had a lot of fun with this one! The first set was made up of new releases, and the second set was a ROCKING set of '90's era doom metal. Then, in the second half of the show, I took it back to the old school and played a set of CD's I pulled from our studio library, like I used to do back in the early days of the show. I'm thinking next week we'll be doing more of that kind of thing. Dig it!  P...

In this one, we finish up our series of looking back at some of my fave releases of last year.

Dig it.  PLAYLIST Harsh Symmetry – Mirror Twin Schatten Muse -- Leere  Terminal Serious (feat. Çağla Güleray of Ductape) -- Nob...

In this one, we're continuing our look back at some of my fave releases of 2022. They swing everywhere from a track submitted by a loyal listener to a blistering Diamanda Galás track from a 2-track EP that turned out to be an INCREDIBLY nice surprise. Dig it!  PLAYLIST Patriarchy -- Suffer (Zanias Hex Mix) Frayle – Song for the Dead Zola Jesus – Lost Slow Crush – Blue Astari Nite – Ashtray Ballet...

Here you go, kids. The first part of my look back at some of my fave releases of 2022. The first hour centers around local bands and other friends of the show who I've been lucky enough to do gigs with, and in the second half, we open it up to global releases. And best of all, Swansong, the DJ of another WUSC show called The Swan Song, sat in with me for the entire episode. We talked about what sc...

Here it is, folks. We got our halls decked and stockings stuffed. We also talked about cheesy Hallmark movies, video games, ruining Christmas surprises, and played loads of spooky holiday tunes.

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. We finished strong with some new releases, and of course heard from Uncle Charlie, as we do. Dig it! PLAYLIST Neu-Romancer -- Neue Romantikia The Danse Society -- Godsend Preison'...

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...

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 chatt...

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. O...

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!

In this one, we kicked things off with a very special set based around a new compilation put together by Bestial Mouths called We Stand , with proceeds going to Planned Parenthood. Then, we worked in some female fronted deathrock and punk. And in the second hour, we had some new releases, and finished strong with some obscure post-punk. Dig it!  PLAYLIST The Bolshoi -- A Way Bestial Mouths -- Lost...

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.  PLAYLIST * = request T...

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...

This one was a good mix of classic stuff and brand new relseases, including the new one from Columbia's own Candy Coffins. We also worked in a long bit of horror talk, and I gave a shoutout to one of my favorite TikTokers/YouTubers Jeenie Weenie . Check her out!  PLAYLIST * = request Corpus Delecti -- Firelight Candy Coffins -- Every Day a Fresh Atrocity A Projection -- Careless Casket Cassette --...

In this one, the first half was all about new releases. Then, we had a special prog-infused edition of Words of Wisdom featuring a band based out of the midlands. The second half was based around more new releases, including a bit of industrial and a blistering metal set at the end. I also talked up the The Sandman on Netflix, which everyone should be binging right now. Listen and get spooky!  PLA...

The name of the game here was NEW RELEASES. They made up 90% of the show, with a dash of older stuff here and there. Also, a lot of horror talk, including me ranting about the trailer for the new Interview with the Vampire series. Can't wait to see how that pans out. Dig it!  PLAYLIST * = request Westworld -- Main Theme Dead Cool -- Send Me An Angel They Die -- All Your Magic Jupiter Jane -- Money...

It was nice to be back on after taking a 3 week break, but that time was spent making some great memories. In this episode, I basically worked in the show that I was planning to do a few weeks ago, but couldn't because of a last minute access issue. So, we knocked out a 4th of July set (why let a good show go to waste?), as well as a load of new releases. I also discussed some horror releases, the...
