Episode 220: 4/9/2023
We began this show with a set of new tracks. Then we played some goth, post-punk, and darkwave tracks, and a couple of Yellow Magic Orchestra songs (RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto). That was followed with a set of noisy and industrialized hip-hop tracks. The fourth block was a set of noise rock, metal, and punk tracks. The fifth set was a mix of psychedelic, krautrock, kosmische tracks. Then we wound down the show with some shoegaze, experimental, and ambient tracks.
Note: this was a pre-recorded show. I had problems with my microphone so the segues were done by Daniel, from The Uncanny Valley (i.e., the Mac OS speech synthesizer). I used this because the segues wouldn’t have been recorded otherwise.
Episode 219: 4/2/2023
Our return to the air/streams after a three-week absence started with a set of new synthpop, darkwave, etc. tracks. We followed that with a set of retro ’90s goth tracks. The set after that was one of ’90s retro industrial tracks. We followed that with a set of recent and new goth and post-punk songs. The fifth block set was a mix themed around springtime. Then we finished the show with a mix of psychedelic and krautrock tracks.
