For the December scene show every year, I'm going to do a overview of all the concerts I saw over the past year, talk a little bit about the artists and the shows (and sometimes the venues) and then play some of their stuff for you. This means you'll occasionally get blocks of comedy mixed in with your music, and the genre hopping will be even more all over the place than usual, as the show is put together in chronological order of when I saw people. Should be fun!

-------------

Setlist:

I was fairly sick during the recording of this show, so my voice is scratchy, and I tend not to talk as much as I usually do, but there's still good music to be had, even when I'm not feeling well. We dabble in funk, Japanese noiserock, the visual kei scene, Israeli pop and more. Enjoy!

-------------

So, first order of business - next week's show will go up on Tuesday, not on Monday. That said, this week is a mini-theme show - it's a show dedicated to the stuff I love most of all, as it is my birthday this week (on Thanksgiving no less).

This week also runs a little bit longer than your standard weekly show (by about 10 minutes or so). I still dabble in music from all around the world, but I have a skew towards the things I most wanted to listen to personally this week, and a little less on the discovery. But hey, it should make for a good show nonetheless...

Setlist:

Rejoice,

Evermore.

This week, we get extremely international with music from Trinidad, Germany, Portugal, Japan, Russia, India, Mali and China, plus some stuff from the US and England. We dabble into punk, rock, electronica, hip-hop and more. I tell a story about how two different people in my high school had differing opinions about the same band (and how I split the difference.)

The microphone rustle you hear when I'm talking about KES is my cat Maverick, hopping up and into the microphone. I left it on there so he would stop harassing me as I was recording. As always, get the podcast some new friends - tell people about the random jukebox that is the Starlight Society!

-----------

Setlist:

Instead of our normal scene shows, for the months of November and December we're going to do something a little bit different. November's big show each year will be a cover songs show, where I play people covering other people's songs. This was such a fun show to put together, I decided to make it an annual thing, so we'll do it again next year! Enjoy!

------------------

Setlist:

This week, we don't delve as quite internationally as we usually do, but we play a very wide swath of genres, from an early rap/pop crossover, to the OTHER song that The Rembrandts recorded that got some popularity, to an exotic U2 B-side and more... I also tell a story about dreaming a song I never remember hearing...

I also urge you to go out and find a random person and convince them to download an episode of this podcast (any episode, we're not picky) to try and help us get more listeners.

--------------

Setlist:

This week's show, we visit two countries we haven't touched yet: China and Turkey. We also play tracks from each decade of the last half century, giving you 50 years of music all in one big blast. Tell someone new about the show today!

----------

Setlist:

In this episode, we spin some cavernous cover songs, we play big rocks tunes with big rock banjos, we play tracks from Korea, Nigeria and Belgium for the first time, and perhaps most importantly, we celebrate the availability of Dragon Ash here in the states!

----------

Setlist:

Just in time for Halloween, it's a study of Goth Rock, from its precursors to the defining moments to some of the players to some of the latter day neo-goths. Put on your best shades of black, dance in the graveyard under the full moon and strap in for our newest scene/deep dive show, the history of goth rock.

-----------------

Setlist:

This week, I dial the show up to 11, with songs that go above and beyond the edge, until they find the ledge beyond the edge. It's all about big sounds this week, turned up loud and proud. ENGINES GO!
