*sigh* Well, it finally fuckin’ happened, perverts. Roe v. Wade was overturned last Friday morning, and boy, have I got some shit to say about it. First though, emo-fuckin’-clew to the Confrontation Edition of Monday Morning Aural Sex! The name is a reference to both the Otep song, and a specific lyric in it: “They don’t know what they’ve started.” These motherfuckers really have no idea. The Trump supporters who didn’t sign up for fucking theocracy, the 100M+ eligible voters who sat at home on their fucking asses in 2016 and 2020, the shameless partisan hacks installed to the SCOTUS, the feckless fucking dems who twiddled their goddamn thumbs instead of codifying Roe, the soulless corporate shills who represent themselves and their bank accounts above all else, and especially the troglodytic fucking Christian twits who actually wanted this to happen. Y’all really have no fucking idea what you started…
It’s difficult to predict what will come of this; there are just so many variables. One thing is for sure though: more suffering. People who were already suffering will suffer even more, and people who weren’t will suffer too, eventually. The red states that have trigger laws banning abortion if Roe got overturned, any and all women in those states are now condemned to either carry pregnancies to term regardless of the circumstance, or death. Yeah, some pregnancies, if carried to term, will kill the mother through no fault of her own. No sympathy for them, apparently. No sympathy for girls and women forced to carry rapists’ babies, no sympathy for the poor who can’t afford children (or more than they already have), this egregious miscarriage of justice will have broad effects beyond its intended targets.
Imagine a family with a kid or two who’s suddenly surprised with another pregnancy. Can’t afford it? Too bad. Don’t want it? Well, fuck you. Guess you should’ve used condoms. Well, those might be going away soon too. You know what, though? In spite of all the misery this is likely to cause, I hope it so drastically reduces the birth rate that these fucking imbeciles are dumbstruck as to what’s happening. Then again, maybe de-population is the goal. Who fucking knows with these blithering fucking morons? I do know that both parties of our pitiful duopoly will continue to gleefully fundraise off of this. Anything to keep people afraid and confused, especially of other people, and most of all if they’re working class. Gotta keep the peasants quarreling so they never realize they have more in common than not. What if they organize into even MORE unions and threaten our beloved capitalistic stranglehold on the country? That’d be terrible for business, and we all know that businesses need to grow in perpetuity, even at the expense of habitability on this fucking planet.
This edition is dedicated to all of those people. To Nancy Pelosi who read us a poem after feigning shock over the SCOTUS’s decision, despite just having campaigned for an anti-choice incumbent democrat in Texas. To all the fucking idiots singing God Bless America in response to this. To all the miserable, delusional sacks of elephant excrement who are celebrating this and/or mocking those who are rightfully upset about it. That includes Phil fucking Labonte of All That Remains, as much as it breaks my heart. This fucking turd tweeted “hoes gonna be mad,” in response to this. My fucking god, perverts, I absolutely loved All That Remains. I had profound respect for all of their obvious talent, not least of which being Phil’s astounding range as a vocalist. Now? Fuck him. You have a considerably large platform being a singer in a pretty successful metal band, and what do you choose to do with it? “Hoes gonna be mad…” Fuck you, you heartless prick. I hope I get to see how this decision fucks with your life, because I can almost guarantee that it will along with countless others who made similarly idiotic statements.
Anyway, this edition is about more than just Roe. This is everything from climate change, police brutality, political corruption, exacerbated inequity, despairing poverty, gun violence that nobody seems to be willing to do much of anything about, LGBTQIA+ rights, encroaching fucking fascism, religious zealotry, et-fucking-cetera. There is one shamelessly hopeful song, however. Alllll the way at the end, and it’s about unions. Unions are one of the only ways we’re going to get anything fucking done around here so long as we have corrupt little puppets gumming up the works in D.C., blissfully doing the bidding of their corporate overlords. Most of these tracks should be familiar to you if you’re a regular listener as most of them were pulled from past editions, but there’s a handful of new tracks as well. Apologies if it seems lazy or unoriginal, but this is pretty much all I’ve been able to think about this weekend. I’ve been infuriated, terrified and deeply depressed about all this, and I would feel disingenuous releasing a podcast about anything else.
What’s even worse though is that they’re most likely going to strip even more rights away from people in the coming months and/or years, unless some sort of downright miraculous level of protesting occurs. This is our new fucking reality so long as we collectively accept it. Solidarity has seldom or never been more absolutely crucial than in these darkest of times. We’re being disposed of en masse by a preposterously powerful minority, and I despise the indoctrination we’ve all endured - both implicit and explicit - regarding the hyper-individualistic nature of this so-called society by which capitalists thrive, and we barely survive, if we’re lucky. We, the working class, are mere playthings to the wealthy. The ruling class keep pissing on us, and millions of people are bamboozled into believing it’s just fucking raining. Those people live under the hopeless delusion that they’re temporarily inconvenienced millionaires… Man, I don’t envy at all the rude awakening before the vast majority of them.
Lastly, because I really must stop fuckin’ rambling at some point, I know a number of these tracks have violent lyrics, and I really just don’t care. Violence is being inflicted upon countless people every day in the forms of starvation, homelessness, drug addiction, and now, the outlawing of abortion in half the country. I don’t know about y’all, but I’m tired of all this needless fucking suffering. We only keep enduring this because there aren’t enough people willing to object, and dammit, the reptilian brains in everyone can so easily go to violence when adequately provoked. I’m not advocating for any violence in particular, of course, but I certainly wouldn’t be sad witnessing great misfortune in the lives of those who torture us daily with their greed and inaction. Also, I love how I wrapped this intro up, started cutting tracks, and then came back to write an additional two long-ass paragraphs. I’m fuckin’ unbearable, perverts. How does anyone bear me, hmm? Fuckin’ roar.
Any-fuckin’-way, all that said, put your fucking fists in the air, march with your brothers and sisters, support those most affected by this however you can, and of course, fucking yojne.

2022-06-20 (All-Star Series: Ferry Corsten Edition)
Monday Jun 20, 2022
Monday Jun 20, 2022
What the fuck is up, perverts?! Emo-muthafuckin’-clew to another installment of the All-Star Series, the Ferry Corsten Edition! “Ferry who?” To which I say, get out of my fuckin’ house. Ferry Corsten is a legendary Dutch DJ/EDM artist - primarily focused on trance, but he’s flirted with a bunch of different styles over the years - with over 25 years worth of releases, 33 known aliases, 35 side projects, a phenomenal encyclopedia of mixes, remixes, albums, remix albums, EPs, singles, compilations, even a movie soundtrack and his own record label. Even having been a fan of his for over 2 decades now, I was astonished to see how much else I didn’t know about in putting this edition together. Honestly though, you’d probably have to be obsessed with the dude to keep track of all his releases. Seriously, check him out on Wikipedia, it’s fuckin’ bananas.
Anyway, I think this is the first DJ/EDM artist in the All-Star Series (or ASS, because of course) with the exception of The Prodigy and Infected Mushroom. I didn’t explicitly label the Infected Mushroom one as ASS, but it most definitely is an ASS edition. But yeah, those are groups, and Ferry’s mostly a solo artist. I will say though that Veracocha had some excellent potential. Veracocha is a group made up of Ferry Corsten and Vincent De Moor, and to the best of my knowledge, they’ve only ever released 2 tracks: Drafting and Carte Blanche. Drafting’s okay, but Carte Blanche? Holy hell, I still rock the fuck out of that jam 20 years later. Definitely have that one to look forward to in the near future if you keep listening. In fact, I’m pretty sure that song was my introduction to Ferry in the first place, a few years prior to his releasing anything under the name Ferry Corsten. That’s actually kinda wild to me; I don’t know how I got so lucky to have had his music in my life for so long, but it’s been the soundtrack to some of my favorite moments in life.
One was the song We Belong which I used for a slideshow of Sunny and Gacy after they were reuinted. Another was at a show of his in ’04 or ’06 in NYC. I danced all fuckin’ night ’til the very last song slowed to a halt, and if I recall correctly, that song was Carte Blanche. I think the show wrapped around 5 or something. Fuck, I miss dancing all night like that so much, perverts. Anyway, aside from all that, there was this girl in the crowd who was so beautifully enveloped in her own world as she sang the lyrics to Ferry Corsten’s song (appropriately titled) “Beautiful.” I don’t know exactly what it is, I just love to see people lost in their own little worlds, just lettin’ the music flow through them like that. Yet another of my favorite moments was seeing Ferry with my friend Shy, although I really wish we were there under better circumstances. We had to leave early, the club had a rigid dress code (thus forcing me to wear fuckin’ dress shoes), the drinks were expensive as 10 fucks in a glass made for 1, and just… yeah, wish it’d been better circumstances. Yet another of my favorite moments involving a Ferry Corsten song is when I used a clip of “Forever,” for a mock radio ad I did in college. It’s just a silly ad for a fictional local club, but it sounds legit as fuck, and it’s one of the best things I did in my years there, AND it was during the very first month.
I’ll also mention that every time I’ve seen Ferry, there’s been ample room to dance. Can’t fuckin’ say that about fuckin’ Tiësto, lemme tell ya. Gouryella be damned, I love the music, but Tiësto’s crowds get crammed in like fuckin’ sardines. B-to-tha-T-to-tha-muthafuckin’-Dubs, Gouryella is the group Ferry formed with Tiësto, just in case y’all missed that memo. Speaking of all that, perhaps I should say a bit about the actual music, hmm? So, considering this motherfucker’s massive fuckin’ catalog, I may very well do a second volume for him at some point in the future. There’s just so fuckin’ much, perverts, I already put myself waaaay behind the comfortable production schedule I’d carved out for myself with the last two editions. Rest fuckin’ assured, however, these are some of my all-time favorite tracks spanning his entire career. I can’t fuckin’ count the number of times I blasted his remix of Oceanlab’s “Clear Blue Water” while driving through the night with all the windows down. Never even fuckin’ mind the Ferry’s Flashover mix of “Fire…” Holy shit on an Egyptian frog, I’ve danced my ass off to that jam.
Right of Way is his first album, and there are lots of great tracks on there, but L.E.F. is the album that really caught my attention. Just banger after banger after fuckin’ banger. The title track is lava as fuck, too. I’d also pick Junk over Punk any day, just ‘cause the hip-hop vocals make it so much hotter. Nothin’ wrong with Punk (which is one of his first and most well-known singles), that’s just how I feel. Also, the track “Whatever!” actually has some sociopolitical commentary, which is quite a rarity in trance music; EDM in general, honestly. As if all that wasn’t enough, Ferry’s concept album called Blueprint… Y’all, I was brought to tears, multiple times, actually. Specifically, Piece of You and Wherever You Are. Those tracks are dropkicks to the heart for me, and I feel so fortunate to be so affected by the wiggly air in them. That album is so awesome, Ferry released four fuckin’ versions of it: 1 with narration, 1 without, 1 with all extended mixes, and 1 with a bunch of remixes of the original tracks. Perverts, I cannot emphatically recommend enough the album Blueprint. That is, if you’re still capable of emotion. If not, I have no idea why you’re even listening to this, or to music in general.
So, all that said, and I’m sure I’ll have more to say whenever I make the second volume of his stuff, and I’ll most definitely be making ASS editions for BT, Venetian Snares, Otto, Doormouse, et-fuckin’-cetera. So, all THAT said, I believe it is now time for the -ment of yojne.

2022-06-13 (Witch-rowave Trap-House Edition Vol. 5)
Monday Jun 13, 2022
Monday Jun 13, 2022
Aaayyyy! What the fuck is up, my spooperts and spoopalitties?! That’s a combination of spoopy & perverts/pervalitties. Yojne that little addition to your psyche. Emo-sun-of-a-cunting-clew to the 5th volume of the Witch-rowave Trap-House Edition of Monday Mornin’ Aural mutha.fuckin’ Sex! So fuckin’ excited to share this stuff this week. For those who are somehow unaware of Witch-rowave Trap-House and yet are listening to the 5th installment of it, it’s just an orgiastic portmanteau I came up with for these editions which are centered around Witch House, Witch Trap, & Retrowave/Synthwave/Yourdaddonkeypunchedyourmomwave and so on. Some of these tunes legit make me horny as fuck, and fuck is pretty fuckin’ horny, like Black Philip livin’ deliciously in this bitch. Specifically, the first two tracks by Elon Dust & Megan McDuffee respectively, and the ∆aimon track called Amen. All sorts of sexiness presents itself in my head during those tracks.
The Elon Dust track, between the silky fuckin’ vocals affectionately caressing your ear drums and that powerful sawtooth bass synth that sends chills through my veins… I’ve played this one a number of times before ‘cause I really can’t get enough of it. That was another random Instagram find, bee-tee-fuckin’-dubs. When I first heard Megan McDuffee’s cover of Muse’s, “Time Is Running Out,” I was a little hesitant, but good lord did she do a great job with it. A thousand times sexier than the original, even though the original was never meant to be that way. Finally, Amen sounds like the soundtrack to some freaky-ass dungeon fuckin’, and I’m 100% here for it.
I’m also here for ∆XIUS LIИK’s cover of t.A.T.u.’s Nas Ne Degonyat (probably butchered that spelling, but yeah). That cover is fire, and you’re about to hear for yourselves. Plus, ∆XIUS LIИK and the utterly bananas way they stylize their name, album & track titles. Can’t wait to see how my car stereo attempts to read those characters. Nothing like ††† by ††† off the ††† album, though. That’s just literally blank in every field. I’ve mentioned that before, no doubt. Fuck you, okay? It’s difficult enough to be amused in this late-stage capitalist hellscape; let me have some shit to laugh about. Speaking of †††, one of their new tracks to look forward to here. If you haven’t seen the videos to their new singles, I highly recommend you extract your thumb from your anus and look ‘em up. Anyway, moving on, I’ma go ahead and say that Sidewalks and Skeletons are clearly kings and/or queens of the witch house genre. Pretty sure it’d be fucking impossible to delve into witch house in any decent measure without encountering their stuff, even if just a collaboration.
Just in case you might be skeptical of that claim (which would be maniacally hilarious to me), there are 9 fuckin’ tracks that bear the name Sidewalks and Skeletons on this podcast. I chose 30 witch house and 30 retrowave tracks, so S&S comprises almost a third of the whole thing in some degree or another. With good reason though, I mean, they’re fuckin’ awesome. It’s just amusing how many times I encounter their name whenever I delve into witch house for these editions. Clearly prolific as fuck, or procreation, I guess. Anyway, movin’ on… I was also pretty skeptical of that For Whom The Bell Tolls cover at first, but wow, I was pleasantly surprised. Hope you will be too.
That version of Moonlight $onata, btw? Actually has brostep breakdowns in it. I almost didn’t include it, but it’s still a pretty tasty synthwave version of that classic tune. Apparently, synthstep is kind of a thing. Not much of one, but definitely a thing. Yet another thing I’m here for. Anyway, I could go on for-fuckin’-ever if I let myself. I’ma just say again that the more tracks I’ve included from particular artists, the more emphatically I recommend you delve into their material for yourselves. With the exception of †††, because you all should already be avid fans of †††, and if you’re not, alas, I have failed you. Shit, I’ve only been playing them for nearly the entire fuckin’ span of this podcast. If you don’t like †††, I think you might be against the idea of pleasure altogether, and I don’t need that kind of negativity in my life. No one does.
Anyway, as y’all can see, I used another of Akunohako’s Neon Witch pictures for this edition. Seriously, you all should check out his stuff on Artstation. He’s phenomenally talented in my opinion, and deserves support wherever possible. All that done did and fuckin’ said, we have now reached the point of the podcast where we ascend to the holiest realms of purest yojne.

What fuck up is the, perverinos and pervalitties? It’s been a minute since we’ve conversified, hasn’t it? Hey, what better time to re-post a Memorial Day Edition than 10 years later literally on Memorial Day? Anyway, emo-mutha-booty-lickin’-clew to the Ooh, The New Blue Gnu & Ewe Flew Through To Do Kangaroo Screw Goo Tattoos in '22 Edition of Monday Morning Aural fuckin’ Sex! Yup, another new shit edition, because literally every time I go looking for awesome new music, guess what? I fuckin’ find it. Not ‘cause I’m some awesome music finder or some shit, just ‘cause I keep a wide open mind and I take advantage of the curated playlists on Spotify. Ain’t even about Spotify or any one service, though. You can find awesome new shit all over the place. One of my favorite breakcore artists to this day is a dude named BLÆRG, and all I did to find him was type, “breakcore,” into the search field of Amazon.
One of my highest hopes is that, even if y’all don’t bother with this lil podcast of mine, that you remain curious to discover, to explore & learn about new music, and shit, pretty much whatever interests you for that matter. Personally, I think curiosity is a fountain of youth. You manage to retain or reawaken that childlike curiosity that adulthood tends to diminish? Life can feel like a buffet, even if the outside world feels like an onslaught of bullshit & nonsense.
Any-fuckin’-way, I’ve got what some might find to be a treat in store for y’all. Instead of rambling over a bunch of random tracks & artists in this intro, I’m just gonna skip it. I was thinking of doing all that rambling between tracks, but honestly, it’s a fuckton of work writing, recording and editing opinions on 4 hours worth of music, and I personally prefer the uninterrupted flow from track to track. Also, I’d love to be able to get to sleep this week sometime before the fuckin’ afternoon for a change. However, if by some magical like, monkeys flying out my ass chance you’re curious why I chose this or that track, where I found them, what I had for fuckin’ dinner or some shit, feel free to fuckin’ ask.
Anyway, kicking things off right, we’ve got a SWARM track called The End of All Things. According to a post on his IG story, this track went through something like 40+ iterations before he settled on this one. No idea to what extents the iterations significantly differed from the others, but that still sounds like quite a process.
