I…
am profoundly…
exhausted…
But a-fucking-las, the show must go on! Emo-muthafuckin’-clew to the 4th volume of the Vantablack & Neon Edition on Monday Morning Aural fuckin’ Sex! That said, yes, I am indeed profoundly exhausted. I’ve been running on 4ish hours of sleep for the past 16 because I’m a dumb, stupid idiot who’s dumb and stupid. Nah, I just didn’t prepare properly. That shit kinda comes and goes, ya know? My dedication to puttin’ out this podcast might feel like torture sometimes, but I still think it’s worth the effort.
Any-fuckin’-way, enough of all that shit. “What the backwards goose fuck is Vantablack & Neon supposed to be?”, the uninitiated might ask. Simply, goth, industrial and synthwave music. Less simply, it’s all variations of those three general genres. I hear lots of stuff in common between it all, and you likely will too if ya just sit the fuck down and give it a chance! Gosh golly-gee willickers! What? I dunno. I’m tired, bitch; don’t judge me.
Let us discuss the tune-age, shall we?
1. If you think any of this stuff doesn’t fit the theme, well, feel free to tell me about it so long as you’re polite about it. If you’re incapable of civility, well, I’m sure there are many disease-ridden moose balls you can suck somewhere out there. I don’t have the disease-ridden moose ball tracker either, so you’re on your own there.
2. With all these duo-theme editions, I always try to alternate between A- and B-type stuff track by track, but sometimes I over-compile and there’s more of one than the other. I could just delete whatever throws it off balance, but that would mean depriving myself and all y’all of some delectable fucktacularity. Who the fuck do you think I am? You think I’d do that to you, dearest perverts? Hell-to-the-fuck-no. So, ya know what? Asymmetry can be tolerable, and ya may have to just tolerate it. Plenty of chaos like that in the universe. Either that, or you could turn off the podcast, and maybe catch up with the moose ball suckers from #1. Don’t let me stand in your way.
3. As I also frequently do, I did attempt to arrange the playlist in that magnetic poetry sort of fashion. Some of the tracks relate to each other in title, lyrics, tonality, or some other way, but some don’t have much or any relation to speak of. So, if you’re listening to the podcast and you feel a sort of flow, that’s me tweakin’ shit for an hour or so behind the fuckin’ scenes. See how good I am to you? No need to tickle my testes to express your gratitude, I just want y’all to yojne.
4. As far as the new/old status of the tracks, well, some are returning favorites from past V&N editions, some are classics that haven’t yet made an appearance on the V&N editions, but most are brand spankin’ new, even to me. We’re all in for some delicious treats this week.
5. As you may recall, I said last week I wasn’t sure if there were any notable distinctions between retrowave and synthwave. Well, I finally fuckin’ looked it up! Turns out, nah, they’re pretty much synonymous. Outrun is another name for both of those, but supposedly that tends to have more video-game-style synths and tends to be purely instrumental. Know what else I just learned about that’s supposedly been a thing for a number of years now? “Fashwave…” a portmanteau of fascist and wave, and is supposedly some white-supremacist, alt-right version of “vaporwave.” Let me tell ya, I already don’t understand vaporwave. Maybe I’m getting old, but holy shit, I just don’t get the point of it. Maybe I just haven’t heard anything in the genre that appeals to me yet. All I know is I delved into it for a few hours one night, and I actually felt compelled to dig myself back up and out of the rabbit hole rather than farther down in.
So, “fashwave,” eh? You can eat my asswave. Don’t forgetwave to caresswave my nutswave, and handywave my pulsatingwave prickwave. You’ve chosen the political ideology of some of the biggest losers in human history, and one day, just like them, you will lose. It’s funny, your so-called replacement theory is almost a self-fulfilling prophecy. I’d love so much to see you all disappear from existence forever so the rest of us can get some fuckin’ shit done around here, but I know there are much greater enemies who pull your strings. You’re a bunch of pitiful little puppets, and you might go your whole lives never realizing that. Truly pitiful.
Any-fuckin’-way, 6. Track 17 is by a group called Einstürzende Neubauten. Let’s say it together: Ein-shtur-zenda Noy-bowten. I’ll be happy to remind you of that if ever you forget. To be frank, I’m likely not even pronouncing it as well as a native German speaker, but since I’m not one, you’re stuck with me and mine until you find one your damn selves. Anyway, that group is fucking phenomenal. Do yourselves an enormous favor and look into them. Try to find some live footage and just admire the spectacle. If you’re similarly as inquisitive as I, you’ll probably love it. The first time they reeled me in, I was laying in my bed reading a book while a playlist of them and Skinny Puppy was playing. When Halber Mensch came on, fuck, I thought I’d died and was at the gates of hell. That song is haunting as 10 fucks in a canoe built for one. Highly, highly recommended.
7. Watch out for the fun-ass funkwave or whatever-the-fuck-wave that is the Revival track by Van Derand. New discovery of mine, and it’s danceable as fuck. I mean, most anything is danceable if ya try hard enough. That is if ya can stop bein’ such a damn neurotic ninny long enough to embrace the absurdity of life and all its impermanence, to let the music move that fuckin’ pile of flesh you’re piloting, to bask in the downright miraculous mystery of music itself and its myriad effects on the mind… You get the idea.
8. The Trevor Something track called The Ghost, wow. Minimalistic as fuck, but really quite satisfying nonetheless. I know I have a broad-ass palette, but give it a whirl. Y’all can skip it and run screaming back to your comfort zones if you’re uncomfortable with anything you don’t already know, but good lord, that seems like a boring-ass way to squander a life.
9. Nope, no fuckin’ 9 here either. Never any nines! Nein nines!
10. Because fuck my entire fuckin’ life, bud. No, 10 is a shoutout to the lovely and talented proprietor of Penny Wigs, Ms. Amanda Tea, for showing me Kælan Mikla and Houses of Heaven. Yojne those tracks, and be sure to hit up Penny Wigs on Etsy for all your Vantablack and Neon style hair accessories, because eventually this pandemic will get under control, and there will be reasons to dress up again. Don’t want to be caught with your pants down when that happens, or maybe you do. That does sound like fun.

Monday Apr 19, 2021
Fuck’s up the what, pervarios and pervuigis?! Emo-to-the-muthafuckin’-clew to the Send Newds Edition Vol. 4! Just like last week, this is just some new shit I’ve found within the past week or so. Got a lot of contributions this week, actually. I’ll be shouting those out specifically a little later. Also, about half of these tracks are leftover from the previous week. I thought about just making another 5 hr podcast, but it would’ve taken me significantly longer, and I did urgently need sleep for a doctor’s appointment I had later that day. I’m sure y’all grudge-holdin’-ass-muthafuckas can forgive me for that, right? Right.
Anyway, let’s discuss what we’ll be hearing this week:
1. Right from the start, the first track is a call back to a previous random new shit edition I did called the Spread Love Edition. Fantastic podcast right there, in case ya haven’t heard it yet. I’m biased, of course, but I also happen to be correct. “BuT hOw CaN aN oPiNiOn Be CoRrEcT?” Because even though our rights have been quietly disappearing into the midnight tar of our plutocratic corporatocracy over the past 40 years, there’s one right no one can take from you, and that’s the right to be wrong. Feel free to eat whichever dirtiest set of genitals you least prefer. Anyway, in doing this call back, I wondered if I ought to do another Spread Love Edition, and I dunno. I think it stands well enough on its own, and spreading love ought to be every day, not just occasionally.
2. Shoutout to my roommate Josh for showing me Toxxify and D’Abyss this week. Some sexy-ass synthwave right there, you’ll see, or hear. Shoutout to my great buddy Al for the prog rock/metal phenomenons that are Animals As Leaders and Chon. Shoutout to my other great friend Shy for the Giraffes? Giraffes! track around the halfway point, as well as the Save Us from the Archon track near the end. More astounding-ass prog tracks right there, and the Giraffes! track has an obnoxiously long and hilarious title. Check it out: I Am S/H(Im)E[R] As You Am S/H(Im)E[R] As You Are Me and We Am I and I Are All Our Together: Our Collective Consciousness' Psychogenic Fugue. How could you not want to immediately figure out what the fuck who was smoking on that jam?
3. This is more like a 2.5 than a 3, but whatever. If any of you listening out there ever wants to send me tracks, I’m always eagerly looking for cool shit, and my tastes are far broader than even this podcast encompasses. For example, I’ve never done an all classical or opera edition, much to y’alls delight, no doubt. I do really love both of those, though. I’ve been to numerous operas over the years, and I’ve enjoyed myself almost every time. So yeah, don’t be shy about showing me stuff. The worst I’d likely ever say is that it isn’t for me. Unless you’re trolling me by sending me some white power music or some shit, then you can go fuck yourself. Truly, you probably need a good fuckin’ if you’d waste your time like that.
4. Let’s get the genre list together, shall we? We’ve got yup, more liquid, soulful pop, retro/synthwave (still unsure whether there any notable distinctions between those, or if they’re basically synonymous), deathcore, synthwave but with dubstep-ish elements (perhaps synthstep? I don’t fuckin’ know), riddim (which for those out of the know is basically just hard, headbangin’ sort of dubstep), a jazzy glitchstep fusion (which, wow, what a combo), a punky jungle jam (which, again, wow), hip-hop, death metal, a little brostep kind of as a nostalgic nod to times of lesser knowledge of the genre, liquid synthwave (yup, I found more of it, and it’s fuckin’ sexy!), Pussy Riot (because I have no fuckin’ idea how you could classify those fantastic women), melodic dubstep, dark synthwave (which might as well just be called industrial, for fuck’s sake, but whatever), a couple tracks that are semi-witch-house-esque but with some chillstep elements (hopefully someone out there can classify them better than I just attempted to), prog rock/metal, progressive trance, a sort of lounge americana with The Real Tuesday Weld tracks, another surprisingly rockin’ track from Twiztid, fuckin’ cabaret pop (I honestly don’t even fuckin’ know, haha)… Do you see that preposterous-ass fucking run-on sentence there? That’s how much fucktacularity I crammed in this motherfucker. All I can feel is pity for ya if ya don’t partake.
5. Few words specifically here about certain tracks. The Carnifex track called Dead Bodies Everywhere is indeed a KoRn cover, and it’s pretty sweet. I feel like KoRn covers are pretty rare, I dunno. As far as KoRn themselves go, well, I liked them up to a point, and I kinda just gradually lost interest. Who knows? Maybe I can revitalize it if I give the later stuff more of a shot.
6. The track by Whales called Too Weird, wow. I felt those lyrics hard. I’ve felt like that, and been made to feel like that so often through my romantic history. That’s why I joke about being too much. Sometimes I think some people dated me for the novelty of someone like me, or for the idea, but didn’t know what to do with the reality of me after a while, so the affection just faded. I dunno, shit’s largely a mystery to me since closure’s always been quite an elusive luxury. Anyway, I hope y’all enjoy it as much as I did, do and will.
7. Surely by now at least one of you has caught me talkin’ about SWARM and him being the truth. Well, no SWARM tracks this week. However, the artist SIERRA was one of the recommendations from SWARM’s Spotify page, so expect some SWARM-y stuff there.
8. That aforementioned lounge americana group called The Real Tuesday Weld? Well, as far as I know, that’s not their only sound. I first found them through an animated video of theirs on YouTube for Bathtime in Clerkenwell. It’s an upbeat, 30’s-style-jazzy scat track. No, not a poop track. I mean scat like rhythmic gibberish. Anyway, yeah, that track was played over the credits of one of the early Weeds episodes. If you enjoy their tracks I’ve included this week, take a look at that video if possible. It’s a lot of fun.
9. Nine starts with the letter N. Know what else starts with the letter N? Nope! No nine!
10. …fuck you, Me. And also, yojne!

Up the fuck what’s, pervarinos and pervalitties?! Emo-muthafuckin’-clew to another muthafuckin’ Monday and another Monday Morning Aural Sex! This week… we’ve got… yup, another Send Newds Edition! Vol. 3, to be specific. No idea if any of y’all enjoy these new shit compilations I make, but obviously, I fuckin’ yojne every molecule of fuck out of ‘em. They’re made by me, like, hello?! I figure if you trust my taste at all, you ought to give these editions a whirl. Like I say, you can always skip ahead this track or that track if they happen to twist your tender taste nips too hard, or perhaps tickle your mental genitals too ruminatively.
For those uninitiated, this is just a compilation of new tracks I’ve found over the past week. Not sure about y’all, but doing whatever I can to expand my horizons has been a greatly fulfilling purpose for my life. I don’t get too bogged down in notions of purpose, except that which you define for yourself, but learning new things is certainly a great one, in my opinion. This podcast is part of that effort, but as I’ve said in previous editions, it doesn’t matter whether you listen to any of these at all. It only matters that you lead fulfilling lives, and for your sakes, I hope you never lose the fire of curiosity that’s inside all of us. I hope you’re frequently learning new things as an integral part of living your most fulfilling lives.
Any-fuckin’-way, I’ma cut the hippie shit now so we can get on with this. Befo’ we do though, I gots some miscellaneous shit to say:
1. Shoutout to my roommate Josh who pointed out the Gnarkill track, and for being a good sport listening through a number of bad and mediocre tracks with me along the way to this finalized compilation. Also for telling me about Brendon Small. I’ve been a fan of Metalocalypse for years, but I only just last week listened to his solo stuff on Spotify. Guess I’m not as big a fan as I should be or should have been, ‘cause his solo stuff is fuckin’ mondo cool, and you’re about to find out for yourselves.
2. Serj Tankian has a new EP, and it’s pretty sweet! I’m making the assumption here that y’all know who he is. I’m not even gonna state it, so y’all can either listen through the rest of this confused, or you can fuckin’ Google him. Anyway, yeah, got two tracks from that this week, so keep your ears peeled, or something.
3. I’m not really sure how to classify Mr. Bill’s music, but it’s certainly interesting. Got two tracks from his recent release, “Slapnea,” on here this week. I’ve been enjoying just about everything I’ve heard from him (or her, because who the fuck knows?). It’s some sort of electronic music, but it’s honestly kinda genre-defying. Anyway, look out for those ‘cause you might yojne them as much as I do.
4. The GWAR song is… without Oderus. It makes me so sad knowing he’s gone, but there is something of a tribute to him in the lyrics, so at least there’s that. I’m not sure if that’s some incarnation of Beefcake the Mighty singing on there or whomever it is who replaced Oderus, but the song’s pretty cool even though it’s different. It’ll never be the same GWAR without Oderus, but whatever different thing it becomes could be pretty cool too. I’ll have to listen to more of it and see for myself.
5. Shoutout to any guitar music aficionados listening out there. That aforementioned Brendon Small track is there for ya along with the GoGo Penguin track, the Marcin (something I can’t pronounce) track which is indeed a cover of Led Zeppelin’s classic, “Kashmir,” and the one done by Enter The Animus & Berried Alive. Good lord, some sheer virtuosity crammed in those jams.
6. There’s a good amount of trance, liquid, dubstep and j-core in this edition. I didn’t aim for that, but it came up on my Release Radar on Spotify, so there ya go. Lotta really beautiful melodies in all that stuff, so yojne if you can hang with beautiful melodies.
7. While we’re on the subject of genres, let’s at least attempt to list what we’ve got in store for us this week, shall we? Let’s see, we’ve got liquid, metal, rock, deathcore, horrorcore, underground hip-hop, Armenian rock, melodic dubstep, the aforementioned inscrutable fuckin’ electronic music, acoustic rock, IDM with guitars, bedroom pop, trance, guitar virtuoso music, chillout trance, j-core, R&B, house, funk, modern classical, chipcore (if that’s even a thing), hardcore hip-hop, glitchstep or whatever-the-fuck, I mean goddamn… the genre party goes on and fuckin’ on.
8. SWARM? Yeah, SWARM’s the fuckin’ truth! I fuckin’ told y’all, and I’ll tell y’all a million fuckin’ times if I need to! Either that or until ya can’t fuckin’ stand me anymore and stab me in the throat, whichever comes first.
9. Rest in power to DMX… I think the song I’ve included this week might be the last song he ever recorded, but I imagine we may see some posthumously released stuff at some point; perhaps stuff leftover from previous albums’ sessions. I don’t know if anyone’s conflicted over DMX’s death since he supposedly did a lot of bad stuff in his life. I don’t know all the details, but I know he struggled a lot with drugs, and that’s a struggle I know. He made a lot of great music and inspired many of the artists I love today, so even though the person DMX may have been far from perfect, the music is still the soundtrack to lots of good memories for me.
10. Nope! No more fuckin’ yammering! Let us now yojne!

Reposting this old edition for two reasons:
1. I don't even remember removing it, and of all the podcasts I've ever done, this is one of the most worthwhile.
2. To just let anyone curious know that it I am still working on the conversation recordings. It's been difficult lately to make the time due to myriad circumstances, not least of which being it being extremely emotionally draining. I promise that I will get it finished, but it's excruciating torment every step of the way. This was a love that very nearly drove me insane, like, to the point I was losing my grip on reality like grains of sand through shaking hands.
Anyway, yeah, I will get that stuff done as soon as I'm able. I'm already a little over half-way through as it is. Also, in the intro of this edition, you'll hear & see me call it the "Emo Weepfest," Edition. I don't know why I did that instead of just calling it what I'm calling it now, what it always should've been called. My only guess is that it was some awkward & grotesque evasion due to so often feeling ashamed of my emotions; feeling unwelcome to speak about how something made me feel; feeling like such vulnerability from me would only be met with aggressive defensiveness, or just ignored altogether. Sometimes it was abusive significant others, other times it was my societal environment and the toxic masculinity bullshit. Doesn't excuse it; it's just an attempt at some sort of explanation.
Anyway, this is the first memorial edition I made for her. I made a second one a year later that's around 2 hours longer. Frankly though, there are tracks included on almost every single podcast I've ever made (to this day) that remind me of her in some way. While that might seem maudlin, unhealthy, etc. just know that we used to speak extensively about music, what we like, what we seek, what fulfills us. Music was a love language for us. To this day, I frequently find all sorts of new tracks that I know she would enjoy, and one of the best ways I know of to honor someone's memory is to enjoy such things twofold in the wake of their absence. She remains a driving force in me to pursue my passions, and a seemingly infinite source of inspiration. There are so many lessons we can all learn from our individual experiences of Sunny, but only if we're receptive and/or perceptive enough to learn them. Easier said than done, I know, but it's still true. Honoring her memory seems to be a continuous, lifelong process for those of us who loved her.
Anyway, I've yammered on long enough. Yojne this edition as much as reasonably possible.
Good morning perverts! Welcome to another Monday Morning Aural Sex. First off, I need to warn you that this is a memorial podcast that I'm appropriately titling the Emo Weepfest Edition, because it's filled with a lot of preeeetty depressing music. And I won't be talking much beyond this intro. Frankly, I wouldn't blame you if you passed on this one and waited until next week when the music will be happier overall. But, you know, this music is out there whether we choose to listen to it or not. Music like this, it really opens us up if we let it. But yeah, I felt the need to give you that fair warning.
Anyway, I imagine everyone listening has at least a few songs they revisit when they're down. Well, yesterday marks one year since a dear friend, a woman I was honored with the chance to love, shot herself. All these songs have something to do with her directly, figuratively or were just songs that made me think of her. I'm sure you'll recognize a few of them. Some of them might be really difficult to listen to, but that's why I've named this one the Emo Weepfest, ya know? This one's gonna be rough, but sometimes it's healthy to get those emotions out; to keep them from festering, and sometimes you come out of it feeling really refreshed.
I hope whatever's feasibly best can come from this does. I hope you enjoy it, my darling music perverts. I love you all very much.
