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!

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!

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.

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 Mercies Shock Headed Peters – Big One Left Hand Right Hand – Two Man Bob Danielle Dax – Here Come the Harvest Buns 62 Dead Balloons – It's January Again Magic Wands (w/ John Ashton) – Sacred Mirrors Idol Talk – Blanket of Bells Fotocrime – Plowjob Night in Athens (feat.

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 Goldstein – My Own Design Das Ich – Dante's Holle Lathe of Heaven – Matrix of Control Scarlet's Sinister Sister - Destroyed Silver Tears – Erica Blood Twin – No Place to Hide Bootblacks – Only You Suero & Illman – Zesck Enmioown Tenderlash – Alone and Still Candy Coffins – Perfect Like You Said Valentine Wolfe – The Witching Hour Dead Cool – Story of Another Life Tears for the Dying – Cinders Azam Ali – Hazy Gaze Aux Animaux – Void Moon Ash Code – Fire This Eternal Decay – Kiss Me I'm Dying The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Science Fiction Double Feature

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 Exceptional Mr Hyde - The Christmas Crow Lenbanon Hanover - Hall of Ice Valentine Wolfe - If She Had Been the Mistletoe Type O Negative - Red Water (Christmas Mourning) Sorrow - The Little Drummer Boy Batzz in the Belfry - O Holy Night Sisters of Mercy - Driven Like the Snow Terminal Gods - Driving Home for Christmas Happy Fangs - All I Want for Christmas is Another Night of Halloween London After Christmas - The Christmas Song Creepy Charlie Brown Theme Song Jabberwock - Fragment 25 King Diamond - No Presents for Christmas Alien Sex Fiend - Stuff the Turkey Bea Arthur - Goodnight But Not Goodbye

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 Aura - Rituals Daniel Knutz - Cemetery of the Broken Dreams Suzi Sabotage - Sacrifice Fangs on Fur - Robber Baron Desintresse - Niets Te Zeggen Zabus - Strangers of Non-Being Bellhead - Heart Shaped Hole Hallows - Catalyst Mortal Realm - With a Heavy Heart Porcelain Dancer – The Eternal Loop The Shallow Graves – The Second Chamber Grey Gallows – Sad Wings of Destiny Ghost Enclave – Away Morwan - Все по колу, знову Ash Code - Cathedrials This Eternal Decay - Kiss Me, I'm Dying Ductape - Fine Terminal Serious - Tear You Away Godhead - Break You Down The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Hot Patootie (Bless My Soul)

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 Nothing Sayaka Nono – Anything Can Be Broken TR/ST – All at Once John Carpenter – Show Me Brainwasher – A1A Pretty Average – Everybody's Watching Kalte Nacht – A Rare Obsession Shadows Ground – In Eternal Coldness of the Night Gris Futuro – Juodi Žirgai Horrorpops - Miss Take The Rocky Horror Picture Show - I'm Going Home

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 - Kosmiczny wędrowiec Grabyourface - Everything Remains the Same Christine Plays Viola - My Redemption John Carpenter - The Haunted House Frenchy and the Punk - Not Under Your Spell Occults - Crimes (Your Sacrifice) Altar de Fey - Tower of Deceit Ratstallion - Eye Daytripper - The Alchemist Diva Destruction - Climbing Up the Walls Lebanon Hanover - My Love Tears for the Dying - Cinders Bustie - Cruel Intentions Resplandor - Tristeza The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Super Heroes

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, which had a 1970's theme. So, it's more '70's influenced than '80's, but we dip our toes into the '80's (and maybe even a little beyond) too. Enjoy!

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 Fears Brother Cain – Fools Shine On Intimate Strangers - Let Go Johnny Steele – Power of the Night Tahnee Cain & Tryanglz - Burnin' in the Third Degree John Carpenter – Prison Montage Sacred Hearts – Possession Simulated Beings - Dreaming Up Monsters Social Youth Cult – Close to Nothing Ghost Cop – A Shot in the Dark (Houses of Heaven Mix) 80's Express – Running Up that Hill Spiralteeth – Silver Skies The City Gates – La douleur (des mortels) The Creepshow - Halloween The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Science Fiction Double Feature

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 – The Girl with the Terminal Stare Rosegarden Funeral Party – Blame and Burden Darkways – I Like the Night (and the Night Likes Me) Sonic Thing – Manichean Magick Knives – The Plague Omen Code – Brutal + Pure Henry Manfredini – The Eyes Have It Halfsleeper – There Goes a Shadow Azum Ali – Synesthesia Six Impossible Things - Nevermore Crush of Souls – Cult of Two Odonis Odonis – Hijacked Automatic – Don't Wanna Dance Funeral Process – Black Cat Altar de Fey – Gone Too Soon Silent Scream – Do It Right Misery Eden – Crucified The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Hot Patootie (Bless My Soul)

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 Woods Front Line Assembly - Surface Patterns In Strict Confidence - Stripped Cruxshadows - Eurydice (don't follow) Petals & Thorns - This Wilting Rose Portishead - The Rip Calabrese - Saturday Night of the Living Dead Christian Death - Spiritual Cramp VINYL SET Warlock - I Rule the Ruins Anthem - Turn Back to the Night Necropolis - The Future Holds the Past Celtic Frost - Visual Aggression The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Over at the Frankenstein Place

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 Mercy - Under the Gun Mephisto Walz - Umbrea Fear Cult - Witch Hunt Switchblade Symphony - Wallflower Christian Death - Skeletal Kiss Deadsy - Gramercy Park Rasputina - Hunter's Kiss Nosferatu - Inside the Devil Siouxsie and the Banshes - Lands End Virgin Prunes - Caucasian Walk (live) Christian Death - Die With You Charles Manson - Big Iron Door Cinema Strange - Greensward Grey Corpus Delecti - Absent Friend Sex Gang Children - Sebastiane Skinny Puppy - Amnesia Wumpscut - Hang Him Higher Joy Division - Disorder 45 Grave - Evil The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Dammit Janet

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!

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!

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.

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 Witch of the Vale - 100 Ways to Leave (Kontravoid Remix) The Church - Shadow Cabinet Wall - Shimmer of Fact Drahla - Gilded Cloud The Maggie Pills - Goths of Disgrace Nyx Division - Featherless John Carpenter - Michael Kills Again Screams for Tina - Judgement Day GERMAN POST-PUNK SET Malaria! - Eifersucht German Bot - In Meinen Traumen Angst4 - Schwarz/Weis Leningrad Sandwich - Deadline Die Arzte - Eva Braun VINYL SET Alien Sex Fiend - Everybody's Dream Lords of the New Church - Open Your Eyes King Crimson - Epitaph Borghesia - No Hope No Fear Necrophagia - Young Burial The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Hot Patootie (Bless My Soul)

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.

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 Huwe and Glenn Danzig, a set based on artists from the Swiss Dark Nights label, and a vinyl set. I also gave my thoughts on M3GAN 2.0.

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 the week from Supernatural, and more. Enjoy! NOTE: Unfortunately, due to a technical snafu, the first part of the show wasn't recorded, so it's missing the first 3 tracks and starts about halfway into "The Hunter and the Hunted" by The Nothern Territories. So sorry! PLAYLIST Play Dead - Shine Peter Murphy – Swoon Diva Destruction – Buried in Time The Northern Territories – The Hunter and the Hunted Ash Code - Scar Silver Tears – Remember Second Idol – Postcolonial Blues Alex Okami – Under My Skin Cataphiles – The Industry The Claypool Lennon Delirium – Southbound Pachyderm Blind Delon – Blast French Police – French Tips Donzii – On the Inside Sixteenth Parallel - Into Bliss Siouxsie and the Banshees - Fireworks Nitzer Ebb - Shame New Model Army - 51st State The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Dammit, Jannet

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 Osborne - Shot in the Dark The Cure - A Strange Day Depeche Mode - Barrell of a Gun Sinead O'Connor - I Want Your (Hands On Me) General Public - Tenderness The Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored David Bowie - The Supermen The Smiths - Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before The Pixies - River Euphrates Dokken - Dream Warriors Marilyn Manson - Born Again Nine Inch Nails - Ruiner Nirvana - Francis Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle Smashing Pumpkins - Bodies Hole - Gutless Alice in Chains - We Die Young (live) Rammstein - Keine Lust Metallica - Hit the Lights Motley Crue - Looks that Kill Slaughter - Up All Night Skid Row - Youth Gone Wild

It was a lot of fun wrapping up my look back at some of my fave Gothy releases of 2024, not to mention working in a few new ones from 2025. I also discussed some cool events coming to the area soon.

Apologies for the shortness of this one. I got a little held up with the day job, but the second half I had planned will carry over into next week. In this one, we knocked out Part 2 of my look back at some of my fave releases of 2024. I covered a lot of ground and discussed getting jazzed about spending next Sunday in Atlanta at the Days of the Dead con and at the Alcest / MONO / Kaelan Mikla show. Can't wait!

Well, here it is. Because of the weirdest of circumstances over the last couple of months, we had to delay the 2024 Holiday Show till...February 1st? Sure, why not. Hey, we need all the fun we can get right now and I'm never one to let a good show to go waste. So, here you go! Oh, and it's nice to be back on the air after a little winter break. Enjoy! PLAYLIST Within Temptation - A Gothic Christmas Sisters of Mercy - Driven Like the Snow Terminal Gods - Driving Home For Christmas Two Witches - Winter Alien Sex Fiend - Stuff the Turkey London After Midnight - The Christmas Song KrashKarma - Santa Claus is Creeping Around Ides of March - In Winter’s Land The Creeping Terrors - Krampusnacht Happy Fangs - All I Want For Christmas is Halloween Goth - Santa Doesn't Come Here Windhand - Winter Sun Type O Negative - Red Water (Christmas Mourning) Creepy Charlie Brown Christmas Siouxsie and the Banshees - Israel Darkthrone - The Pagan Winter Bea Arthur - Goodnight, But Not Goodbye

It was nice to be back on after 2 weeks of illness. So much happened while I was gone, including DJ'ing 2 shows with Tears for the Dying and seeing Babymetal! In this one, I talked about all of that and played a ton of new releases. I was also joined by DJ Oiseau at the end, who chatted with me about what critters scare her. Enjoy.

This was a special and different kind of show. In honor of it being my birthday, I was joined by both DJ Dub Deezy of One More Saturday Night and DJ Oiseau of Nighthawks. We discussed old Columbia coffee shops, the amazing Tears for the Dying / Feyleux show I did on Friday night, and Dub Deezy being chosen by the Cat Distribution System. Oh, and we played loads of new releases, including some selections from 976-EVIL, the new Deftones/Crosses covers compilation by Darkness Calling. Dig it!

Here you go, folks! The show we lead up to all year long! A full day of Halloween in 1980-something compressed down to 2 hours, including morning shows, commercials, trailers, and music. Light your favorite fall candle and enjoy!

So here's the deal. This was meant to be an hour long episode wherein I ran down all my favorite Halloween costume memories. But I hit some traffic on the way down to the studio...and well, an abridged show became a really abridged show. So I had enough time to discuss 3 of them, but I'm saving the rest of it for a Part 2 in the next few weeks. Enjoy my brief rambles!

A truncated show! Apologies, but I had to set off a little late, so we got a late start. However, I did manage to cram a lot of show into the hour we had to work with. We worked in some new releases, a very brief Easterun European post-punk set, some show announcements, and a long, rambling rant about all my problems with Megalopolis. Lordt. PLAYLIST Under Two Flags – Lest We Forget Dead Cool – Are We Living, Are We Dead Candy Coffins – When It Was Dark Solemn Shapes - Calling The Russian White – We Disappear Pink Panther Project – Pony's Dream Solitaire – Andalucia Haujobb – In the Headlights Nemesis – Stranger Pauk – Mmuije

This was a fun one! I was joined in the studio by 3 newbie DJ's in training who were cool enough to join me on the mic. In between playing loads of '80's and '90's era Goth, we discussed everything from the Sisters of Mercy show I went to last week, to our plans for Halloween, and the damage done by Hurricane Helene. She left me without power for nearly a week, hence the late uploads. By the way, Helene left a massive amount of damage in my area and killed my power for a while, but it could have been much worse. I can't even imagine what the folks in western NC are going through right now. If you're able, please donate to help them out. Thanks! https://www.redcross.org/donate/dr/hurricane-helene.html/ PLAYLIST * = request Sisters of Mercy - Marian Danse Society - We're So Happy Skeletal Family - The Wind Blows My Dying Bride - A Cruel Taste of Winter Xmal Deutschland - Geheimnis Android Lust - Suffer the Flesh Clan of Xymox- Medusa* Theatre of Tragedy - Tanz der Schatten* Christopher Young - Hellraiser Main Theme Christian Death - Die With You Suspiria - Glitter Fields of the Nephilim - Trees Come Down The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Over at the Frankenstein Place Southern Death Cult - Crow

I also played the usual slew of new releases and worked in a Friday the 13th set that I'd planned for the 9/14 show. Who cares if it's a week late? I'll never let a good set go to waste. Enjoy!
