Dark Entries: Goth Radio

We were back in full force this week after taking last weekend off to attend Mad Monster Party and DJ the Digital Noir show in Charlotte. I talked up how all that went, as well as discussed a slightly intense encounter in the theater during Scream 7. Oh, and we debuted a zillion new releases. Dig it!  PLAYLIST * = request Rasputina - Things I'm Gonna Do (live) Hallows - Despite Those Times Geometr...

I hauled all my CD's and a healthy stack of vinyl up to the studio for this one. No theme here at all other than a nice selection of '80's and '90's goth and industrial, plus my thoughts on giving Ready or Not a rewatch. I also took a few requests. Enjoy! PLAYLIST * = request Bauhaus - Terror Couple Kill Colonel Christian Death - Desperate Hell Nosferatu - The Crystal Ring Portishead - The Rip Tor...

After a few weeks off due to snow and ice, it was nice to be back doing spooky tunes. We spent this episode catching up with new releases, and I discussed my thoughts on Send Help. PLAYLIST UK Decay - Battle of the Elements  Feyleux - Mercury Lowsunday - You Lost Yourself Omnihell - Leeches Oh! Pierrot! - Stay the Night Satin Puppets - Tonight You Belong to Me Necro Noise - Thorns The Discussion -...

With our first regular show of 2026, I'm hitting you with 2 themed sets - one based on the band Lemon Kittens and another made up of '80's Russian thrash metal! There's also loads of new releases and me talking about a near car accident on the way to the studio, as well as my new "hear me out". What a weird way to start the year. PLAYLIST Specimen – The Beauty of Poison Lemon Kittens – Small Merci...

2025 was full of so many great releases that cramming all of my favorites into one 2-hour show was not the easiest thing, but I gave it a shot. Apologies to anyone who didn't make the cut in this one episode, but you made it in my black little heart. Promise. Enjoy! PLAYLIST Society of the Silver Cross – Mourning the Night Cathedral Bells – Make Me Right For You Odonis Odonis – Hunter Madeline Gol...

Here it is, folks! The last show of the year. Our annual holiday show where we inject some creep into your Christmas and horror into your holidays. Enjoy!  PLAYLIST Within Temptation - Gothic Christmas Midnight Syndicate - Night of the Krampus This Asension - Carol of the Bells Les Longs Adieux - Cold Astari Nite - Leave the Winter on the Ground Bat for Lashes - Winter Fields Soho Jackal & The...

We started off this one with some selections from a new compilation - Goths for Palestine Vol. II - and then spent the rest of the show catching up with new releases. I also gave my thoughts on Black Phone 2 and announced a load of shows coming up, including the Columbia Goth Nite - Tribute to Benjamin Bowling I'll be DJ'ing next weekend. Enjoy!  PLAYLIST Sisters of Mercy - Body and Soul The Ghost...

This one's a slightly shorter show than usual, but we crammed a lot in. We caught up with a lot of new releases and infused it here and there with a dash of black metal. I also said a few words about the sudden passing of a Columbia Goth fixture - Benjamin Bowling (aka DJ Bat Nuklier). He will be missed. PLAYLIST Skeletal Family – Hands on the Clock Das Ich – Menschenfeind Mayhem – Weep for Nothin...

This one was a little bit of a Halloween Hangover. No themed sets, just catching up with a couple months worth of new releases. I also discussed some of the recent horror I've been checking out. I know we're all supposed to be moving on to those other holidays, but I am, as always, still in the Halloween mood. PLAYLIST Shadow Project - Under Your Wing Covenant - Slow Dance Devil's Starship - Kosmi...

This is it, boils and ghouls - the show we count down to all year! If you're a long time listener, you know what the Retro Halloween Show is all about. We take a full day of Halloween in 1980-something and compress it down to 2 hours of radio, complete with music, commercials, morning talk shows, PSA's, you name it. This time around is a little different, as it was part of WUSC's Fall Fundraiser,...

Had some fun with the first half of the show. It was full of some of my favorite horror soundtrack deep cuts. Honestly, I could fill an entire show of those. Then in the second hour, we got down with some new releases. PLAYLIST Tuesday Knight - Nightmare 3 Speed – Once Bitten Ian Hunter – Good Man in a Bad Time Michael Sembello - Rock Until You Drop Fastway – After Midnight Electric Youth - Modern...

We dived back into the new releases this week, including a rocking Deathrock set. I also gave my thoughts on Monster: The End Gein Story and talked up seeing Friday the 13th Part 3 on the big screen. In 3-D! PLAYLIST London After Midnight - October Heavy Rail – Looking Down on the Clouds Simulated Beings - Otherland The Arms of Someone New – The Spiral of Silence NOIR – Nothing Stays Ghost Cop – T...

This was another week of dragging out the old CD notebooks to play a show full of '80's and '90's classics. I was also joined on the mic by 2 newbies in training. Enjoy! PLAYLIST Clan of Xymox - Stranger (live) Specimen - Hex Concrete Blonde - Tomorrow Wendy The Glove - Like An Animal Siouxsie and the Banshees - Monitor Psychic TV - God Star Christopher Walken - The Raven Lycia - A Presence in the...

In this one, we took a break from the usual format of themed sets and new releases. Instead, I drug all of my CD notebooks and some vinyl up to the studio and we did things old school. Nothing but '80's and '90's era Goth! I was also joined in the studio by Sebastian, a baby DJ in training who hopped on the mic a little bit. Enjoy! PLAYLIST Bauhaus - The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (live) Sisters of M...

I crammed a lot into this one: New releases, shoegaze, darkwave, doom metal, and I spent quite a while nerding out about seeing and meeting THE Britta Phillips! Yes, the singing voice of Jem from Jem and the Holograms!  PLAYLIST * = request Mephisto Walz - In the Room that Love Exits Android Lust - The Damned Frayle - Heretic Terminal Serious - Sewn Eyelids Einsturzende Neubauten - Wie Longe Noch?...

We crammed so much into one little episode with this one: A tribute set to both Brent Hinds and Tobe Hooper (R.I.P), some black metal drama, and a load of new releases. Enjoy! PLAYLIST Switchblade Symphony - Clown French Police – Libra Sexsomnia – Forbidden (feat. Marita Volodina) Vioflesh – Drizzle Aux Animaux – Void Moon Das Ich – Lazarus Losses – Computer Eye Vestigios de Luna – Bad Rusita Lili...

In this one, we spent the first hour catching up with new releases. And in the second hour, we worked in a themed set made up of Domino Monet's musical projects, as well as a set derived from some cool Czech and Slavic Goth comps. I also discussed Weapons and Season 2 of Wednesday. Dig it!  PLAYLIST * = request Night of the Living Dead - Passage to Normal Frayle - Summertime Sadness Sharon Van Ett...

Sadly, the godfather of metal, Ozzy Osbourne, left us this week, so we spent the first part of the show doing an extended tribute to him. We also worked in some new releases and a vinyl set. Dig it.  PLAYLIST Night of the Demons – Main Theme OZZY TRIBUTE SET Molchat Doma – Heaven and Hell Sopor Aeternus – Paranoid Zola Jesus – Changes Type O Negative – Black Sabbath Thou - Supernaut Firelord – Chi...

The first hour of the show, we worked in a mix of new and slightly older releases. And in the second, since the French Post-Punk set went so well the week before, we included a German one this time. And we finished with some vinyl. Dig it! PLAYLIST Faith and the Muse - The Hand of Man  Darkways - Fading Time Social Union - Waiting for Red Anders Manga - Gloom Black Rose Moves - Lips Taste Blood Wi...

In this one, we spent the first hour catching up with loads of Metropolis Records artists, and later worked in a French Post-Punk set. And we finished strong with some vinyl, all despite my voice being nearly gone. Enjoy!

After taking a break off for few weeks due to renovations at the station, we're officially back in black! I actually came back a few weeks ago and knocked out 2 episodes, but unfortunately was not able to record them, so I hope you caught them live. We had a lot of fun with this one and I'm proud of how some of the sets worked out. We worked in some new releases, a birthday tribute to both Anje Hu...

This one was fun, and sadly, the last one for a little while. The Russell House (the home of WUSC) is undergoing renovations starting next week, so we'll be off for a month or so. We spent most of this episode debuting new releases, but I also worked in a vinyl set and was visited again by DJ Oiseau. We chatted about Star Trek, Jaws: The Revenge (my favorite bad movie), her favorite monsters of th...

This one's one of our most anticpated shows of the year. In honor of our Spring Fundraiser, the station's usual Top 40 restrictions were lifted, so I could play anything I wanted! Not the usual spooky, gothy format, I know, but it was a special occasion. I worked in a vinyl set, some grunge, some metal, and had a great chat with DJ Oiseau of Nighthawks. She's the coolest. Dig it!  PLAYLIST Ozzy Os...

In this one, we caught up with a load of new releases, made a huge announcement about a lot of shows coming to town, and I told an embarrassing story about my high school years. Enjoy!  PLAYLIST Siouxsie and the Banshees – Land's End Reaper on Red – The Shadow Cut Rohn-Lederman – Steal the Light VOITH – My Shadowblade Neon Space Men – Shake The Disease Inertia – Witching Hour Principe Valiente – S...

Hey look! Spring break took us off the air for a few weeks, but we're back on now. No themed sets in this one. Just catching up with the last few months of releases. We also announced some shows coming to the area soon and reviewed some recent horror. Enjoy!  PLAYLIST Q Lazzarus – Goodbye Horses (New Wave Version)  Feeding Fingers – Model Lives and Fallen Leaves 51 Peg – Cuts You Up Scheitan – Lov...
