Everything Went Black Podcast

Jonathan Dennison of Cadabra Records and Chiroptera Press join us this week.  I feel like this conversation has been a long time coming; I’ve been a fan for years, of both the weird fiction narration records and his publishing efforts.  Chiroptera has been on a hot streak with recent editions of Lovecraft collections, Thomas Ligotti and Mark Samuels to name a few.

Intro:                   “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill

Outro:                “Phobic Remission” – Hikikomori

Karl and I are moving along with our coverage Darkness Weaves, the final Kane novel.  If you’re tuning into this for the first time, Karl and I started this collaboration to discuss the work of Karl Edward Wagner, an author or sword and sorcery, horror and weird fiction. We started out with his horror short stories and then into the world of Kane, his most well-known character, a dark, immortal anit-hero who may or may not be the biblical Kane who slew his brother Abel. #horsemenofthepodcastingapocalypse #everythingwentblackpodcast #karledwardwagner #swordandsorcery

Brandon Legion and I continue our exploration of the weird world of Twin Peaks.  This week we explore Season 1, Episode 3 “Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer.” This episode originally aired on April 19, 1990 and was written by David Lynch, directed by Lynch with music by Angel Badalamenti. The plot thickens as Agent Cooper ramps up his investigation into the murder of Laura Palmer by calling in his forensic specialist Albert Rosenfield. Bobby and Mike find themselves getting deeper into the dark world of Leo Johnson and Cooper gains a preternatural insight into who killed Laura Palmer.

Intro:                   “Twin Peaks Theme” – Andrew Badalamenti

Outro:                “Pennsylvania 6-5000” – Glenn Miller and his Orchestra

Bambara join us this week. If you have been listening to this podcast for any amount of time, you will know how much I love this band so it was great to catch up with the entire band this time.  If you feel so inclined, I urge you to check out Reid’s appearance on Everything Wen Black from a few years ago. Dark, moody, cinematic: if these words resonate with you, listen to and enjoy their latest record BIRTHMARKS out now on Bella Luna.

Intro:    “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill

Outro:  “Pray to Me” – Bambara

Randy and I do a proper Ozzy Tribute.  In light of the Prince of Darkness’s impact on both of our lives, we did a run down of favorite records, stories and excellent moments. 

Intro:    “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill

Outro: “Over the Mountain – Ozzy Osbourne

Paul Aloisio of Restless Spirit joins us this week for a tribute / remembrance of Ozzy Osbourne.  It’s a heavy time in not only heavy metal but in the larger popular culture.  Most of us grew up listening to Ozzy and Sabbath but we sometimes take for granted his impact on the greater culture. We also get a update on new Restless Spirit material, tours and all that stuff.  Apologies for the relatively poor audio quality.

Intro:    “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill

Outro: “Mr. Crowley” – Ozzy Osbourne

Ralph Schmidt returns this week for another Mount Rushmore episode. These are particular fun due to the spontaneous nature of it; literally no preparation was done ina advance to the answers.  #everythingwentblackpodcast #horsemenofthepodcastingapocalypse #killorbekilled

 Rennie and I are back with another installment of Kill or Be Killed, our exploration of crime films from the 70’s and early 80’s.  With the passing of Gene Hackman, this episode is somewhat in memoriam of a great, prolific actor.  THE FRENCH CONNECTION established Hackman as a force in Hollywood as well as heralding in a new wave of darkly realistic crime movies.

Intro:    “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill

Outro: “Black Magic Woman” – Santana

Keith Huckins of Deadguy / Kiss It Goodbye / Rorschach joins us this week.  Eith has been a huge influence on me as a guitarist dating all the way back to his work with the seminal metallic hardcore band Rorschach. At that particular time, no one was doing anything like that and he continued his work with Deadguy in the mid-90’s.  Fast forward over two decades and Deadguy has now deployed their new album Near Death Travel Services available from Relapse Records.

Intro:    “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill

Outro: “Kill Fee” – Deadguy

My brother Champ Morgan  returns! Morgan is the front man of vicious grind band Triage as well as key noisemaker in BLK OPS.  It was an epic, no script, stream of consciousness conversation, check it out .
