Subtle Frequencies

It's that time of year again. The trolls are migrating down from the hills and into the sort of forest-y area at the base of the hills. Like previous years, we want to take this opportunity to check in on the trolls and see what's new, what's old, etc. This year, it seems like there is a growing chasm between the major factions of trolls, so that's probably something to worry about. But definitely don't worry. Everything is fine.

MUSIC OF THE FOREST UPDATE: Okay it changed again. You're risking your life any time you enter the forest (or do pretty much anything at all. Anywhere. At any time) but if you're wandering off the path, and you hear the song Around by Prism Bitch, that's your sign to make peace with whatever god or devil you're hitched to. Good luck. If you want to memorize this song so that you can recognize it in your final moments, you can scope the whole album on bandcamp . Also, why not follow Prism Bitch on instagram dot com (@prismbitchband)

Content Warning: attempted murder, implied past murders, troll hunting, a moment of violence, unwanted transformations, decapitation, infatuation, paranoia

It's a new year, and you might have been up too late listening to the radio last night. You missed the end of Subtle Frequencies, but you awake in time to catch an unfamiliar program about dolls? Or appraising dolls? You're not sure what the deal is with these dolls, but maybe it has something to do with the "soul thresher"?

The intro/ outro music for Artificers Table is "Acid Jazz" by Kevin MacLeod and can be found at https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Kevin_MacLeod/Jazz_Sampler/AcidJazz_1430

Content Warning: soul threshing, implied death, public displays of affection with a doll

The station manager (Cornelius, aka Corny) refuses to turn on the heat, and it's beginning to cause problems at the station. Pan is suffering, Shrimp Scamp-e (our precocious little intern) is shivering. This in untenable. Someone needs to remind Corny of the true meaning of Christmas (being warm and comfortable), with some kind magical journey.

It's not Christmas without a little Bartees Strange. We've been saying this for pretty much forever. This year, we're celebrating with a little bit of Flagey God from the Album "Live Forever". Scope the whole album on bandcamp, or pretty much wherever. Also, follow them on the gram (@bartees_strange)

Content Warning: mistreatment of a child, death of a child, murder, many gun shot sounds, breaking up.

Last week, we learned that the hat that brought Frosty to life can bring just about anything to life, and also that it is missing. There must be some malice in that old silk hat, because it keeps making horrible creatures that cause problems for everyone. So, today we're trying to learn what we can about that dang hat and see if we can't track it down. Please call if you have any information.

If you have to get somewhere very quickly in order to stop some kind of abomination, it helps to have a kick ass soundtrack. Something like The Ride by Stringlights will get you motivated and make you feel like you're on a cool motorcycle (even if you're on foot). Listen to it on spotify or another streaming service, or follow 'em on the gram (@stringlights_music)

Content Warning: many gunshot sounds, discussion of deceased ponies, discussion of death and decay in general, underage tobacco consumption, body horror, lung cancer

We're Back!

We only have so much time on this earth. You never know when you may be taken out by some sort of whimsical contraption, so it's essential that you fill your life with cool stuff, like quality time with loved ones, delicious meals, and delightful tunes like The Siren by Blooming Limbo. Scope out Blooming Limbo on bandcamp to find more jams, and maybe give 'em a follow on instagram (@bloominglimbo)

Content Warning: violence, murder, blasphemy, unreality, death of a loved one, kleptomania

Sorry for the delay, I am building a new life here in this chasm I fell into.

But this week, we're coming to you live from the community center, where we are cooking up some otherworldly foods, and talking to YOU about your favorite fall-time recipes. Come to the big tent to tell Pan and Chef Cougar how to cook food. Please make sure to make your suggestions good.

A good post harvest feastival is all about sharing some good times and good food with people you love. You're also going to want to put on some killer tunes to liven things up. This year, we recommend Return to Clay by Moon Debris. If you like that one, cruise over to their bandcamp and pick up the whole record. Maybe also follow them on "insta" (@moon_debris)

Content Warning: body horror, monstrous animal hybrids, sword violence, regular violence, multiple cryptozoological deaths, discussion of crawdad murder, big cat attacks, snakes

At a very young age, I started asking myself "who is that other kid over there?". Some time later, I learned that it was just my reflection and there was no other kid (or was there?). Mirrors have been perplexing and terrifying people (and some animals) for millennia. Fears about "that other me over there" have spawned countless folk tales and superstitions. But, sometimes there is another me other there, and today is the day that I figure out what the other me is up to.

Science fact of the day: did you know that meerkats (Suricata suricatta) can make a bunch of different noises and they're all bad to hear? But you know what isn't bad to hear? The song Thirsty Willow by Ac Sapphire. Scope out the rest of her good tunes on bandcamp and maybe give her a follow on the gram (@acsapphire)

Content Warning: unreality, gun shots, body swapping rituals, animal sounds, unsurprisingly, we talk about mirrors a lot

Our "future" was determined at the inception of the universe. For most, it's impossible to see what's coming next without the use of some kind of divination device. Traditional devices all have their strengths and weaknesses, but the recently introduced Zenith Deck could be the most infallible divination device the world has ever seen. It's also a delightful gave for ages 13+. So sit down and listen up as Pan talks with Zenith Deck creator, Claude Gustav. Maybe give us a call if you have a cool or interesting question.

The future remains difficult to parse, even with our newest tools. In glimpses, we see dark days ahead, but, in the present, we can see a community strong enough to overcome any challenge the future holds. It is essential that we continue to look out for each other, and continue to listen to oracles like Howard, or Kowloon Walled City. If you're interested in the sickest songs and prophecies, check out Kowloon Walled City's new record "Piecework" and buy it on bandcamp. And maybe give them a follow (@kowloonwalled)

Content Warning: unreality, numerous loud and abrasive sounds, hoarding, determinism

Sorry for the delay again. I never actually left the chasm after i fell in :(

We were going to talk about Secrets this week (idk, it was producer Dave's idea) but that was boring, so Pan abandoned that topic to focus on friends of the show/ enemies of the new Goblin Kingdom, Jeremy (the goblin?) and Gritzl. Apparently they're venturing into the woods to find some kind of wizard, and that sounds pretty cool and dangerous.

Some folks will tell you the music of the forest is a good omen. Others will tell you it means certain doom. Other others will tell you it's kind of neutral. The truth is, we only know that it definitely means something... so it's best to familiarize yourself with it by listening to the new album by IKSRE. We're particularly fond of "Rapids", but you can scope the whole thing for yourself on bandcamp and maybe give 'em a follow (@iksre)

Content Warning: attempted murder, cannibalism, body horror, attempted arson, familial stress, psychotic delusions.

Sorry for the delay! I accidentally fell into a sort of a chasm.

But this week we are coming to you live from the center of Pumpkinpalooza! Previous autumnal festivals have been plagued by various hauntings and deaths and plagues, but not this one! The ghost/ ghoul-free atmosphere is all thanks to this year's Pumpkinpalooza Prime Minister and our guest for the week, Patricia. She has deployed a number of salt-based safety measures to guarantee a safe Pumpkinpalooza. So, come see us at the booth, or call in to talk about your favorite non-scary ways to enjoy the autumn.

Once you're done with the corn labyrinth and you've had your fill of funny pancakes, make sure to stop by the "Music Zone" to catch some killer tunes from the legendary Team Dresch! And, if you like the tunes, listen to them again on bandcamp! or follow 'em on the "instagram" (@teamdresch)

Content warning: some sudden loud noises (they're not actually louder than anything else), sad animal sounds, chainsaws, death by crows and ghouls, theft
