EPISODE NOTES & HIGHLIGHTS:
As is the tradition, my first episode of the year is a loving look back at the best music that the last year had to offer, as pared down and carefully selected from the realms of goth, post-punk, deathrock, darkwave, industrial, film scores, dark metal, and the regions between. Clocking in at just over 3 hours, there is a lot to appreciate here, culled from a full year's worth of club and radio playlists, and many hours of worthwhile sonic research -- but there will always be something I missed, so don't punch me if I overlooked your favorite. That said, welcome to the "Out ov the Coffin: Best ov 2017" Edition (aka The January 2018 Episode).
Consider this a sonic time-capsule, as I like to see it, or a themed mix-tape of the songs, artists, and albums that stood out, made the strongest impressions, were often stuck in my player, or were attached to the defining moments of the year that was 2017. Each talk break features music from some of my favorite darker films and television shows of the year, as well. You will find that these entries are not ranked like a lot of year-end lists, but played in an order that flows for the listener. Same goes for the accompanying graphic, which certainly includes a lot of my personal highlights, but acts as more of a collage.
