To Valhalla, motherfuckers and motherfuckerettes! Emo-goddamn-clew to the 4th volume of the Through Niflheim to Valhalla Edition of Monday Morning Aural fuckin’ Sex! Nearly 3 ½ hours of fantastic nordic folk, viking & power metal is ahead of us this week. No doubt gripes could be made about the groups that seem or are too different from the rest, but I dunno. Maybe go fuck yaself? Try that on for size. It all fits the overall theme even if certain groups’ sounds, styles and/or nationalities deviate slightly from the others. Not even like anyone currently makes such gripes; I guess I’m pre-arguing or some shit.
Anyway, this is all new shit, all fuckin’ awesome. No Heilung this time either. As I said in the previous 3rd volume of this edition, I’ve included pretty much their entire discography in just the first two volumes of this. There are tons of awesome groups similar to Heilung out there and in this podcast, and even though I absolutely adore Heilung, I enjoy expanding horizons more. Maybe I’ll feel nostalgic in the next volume. I’m still hyped as fuck for Hellblade II, as well. One particular track I want y’all to listen to is by Battle Beast, called Resurrection By Erection. Look up the lyrics and have yourselves a little chuckle, ‘cause I certainly did. It’s actually a cover of a Powerwolf song, and apparently also a part of a whole cover album that was included in the deluxe version of Sacrament of Sin. Looking into it, they actually went all the way fuckin’ out for their fans with the special edition versions of that album. I appreciate the fuck out of that, ‘cause I imagine making and distributing stuff like that has gotta be expensive as fuck.
Also, quick correction from last week: I miscredited my friend Shy with having shown me the magnificent Troldhaugen track called CRISPr Me Baby One More Time. It was actually my buddy Al. Speaking of Al, if you enjoyed his recommendations that I included on last week’s podcast, you ought to dig back in my podcast a little ways to summer of 2019 when I did a whole podcast with him. He’s got great taste, and I’m sure we’ll do another podcast together at some point because of that.
Aside from all that, shit, ain’t really much else to say. Yojne, motherfuckers!

Up what fuck is the, dearest preverts and postverts?! Emo-muthafuckin’-clew to the 5th installment of the Send Newds Edition! Y’all oughta know the drill, but for those who only know the wrench, this is just a collection of new discoveries I’ve made over some relatively brief span of time. It’s been quite a month since the last one; all sortsa fucknomenal Shiite in store for us this week. Over 4 ½ fuckin’ hours, actually. I know, I ask too much of your time and attention week after week. Maybe you’ll make the time someday, maybe you’ll go the rest of your goddamn life never knowing about all this fucktacular music. Up to y’all, but I think the latter’s a goddamn shame. I could speculate on why ’til the cows come home, get slaughtered, turned into burgers, eaten and shat out with all the rest of our relentless consumption and petty judgments, but fuck, I’d rather just turn up this muthafuckin’ aural sex!
Speaking of which, let me get started with my nerdy list of boring shit I do before every podcast actually begins:
1. Graey is a deathcore group I found through the filthybreakdowns Instagram account. They’ve only released this one song so far, and they’re a new band as far as I can tell, so there’s some (relatively) exclusive shit for y’all. Pretty badass, too. Keep your eyes peeled for anything else they release, ‘cause I imagine they’ve got plenty of fucktacularity in store for the world.
2. JEFF?! is an artist that I found while looking for the previous artist, Graey. I was amused by the name, and good heavens does this track slap, so there ya go. See? I’m pretty much ALWAYS lookin’ for cool new shit, even when I’m busy lookin’ for other shit. You could be that way if you wanted, too. Ain’t no fuckin’ law against it, and even if there was, I’d happily break it every damn day.
3. Little Big put out… a metal track?! Yeah, actually! That one’s pretty fuckin’ sweet as well. If you don’t already know and love Little Big, first of all, you’re fuckin’ up. Second, they’re sorta like goofy Russian rave music, and I love the fuck out of ‘em. I even made my boy Al learn the Skibidi dance with me so we could do it when we saw them live. Shoutout to my homie Ryan Kore who went with us that night, too. Anyway, listen well to that, and then listen to the rest of their stuff, because they’re fuckin’ awesome.
4. Sullivan King and FEVER 333?!! Together on one track?! How can one song accommodate such a fucktastic pairing? Well, listen to LOUD and you’ll hear how! There’s another Sullivan King track on here called Domination with… Papa Roach?! What the actual and/or fictitious fuck is that about? I haven’t ever really given a damn, fuck, shit or squirt of piss about Papa Roach, but hey, that track’s quality doesn’t lie. Look forward to those two comin’ up real soon.
5. Any fans of the 80s jam Higher Love by Steve Winwood are almost sure to love (higherly?) the track by The Watchmen, Rob IYF & Al Storm called HGHR LV. See what they did there? THEY CONDENSED THE TITLE BY TAKING OUT THE VOWELS, AND THEY CAPITALIZED THE TITLE TOO BECAUSE HARDCOOOOOOORRRRRREEEE! Anyway, yeah, fun shit right there. I’ma be bobbin’ my head, drivin’ fast down the highway to that one. Some jams need air for the best experience of them. Truly, your environment plays a huge part of how a track affects you, so put your big people pants on and go somewhere when you listen to certain stuff like this. I promise you’ll notice a difference if you’re not already well aware of all that.
6. The mighty Dir en Grey makes a return to the podcast this week with T.D.F.F.! I haven’t been keeping up with them since fuck… way too long. Never stopped lovin’ ‘em, there’s just too much shit to keep track of in life sometimes. I’m sure y’all can relate. Anyone unfamiliar with them ought to look up the uncensored video for Obscure. Their Visual Kei style is fuckin’ badass, and even though I can’t understand a goddamn word Kyo says, I damn sure can appreciate the music. Y’all oughta know by now that understanding isn’t necessarily a prerequisite for appreciation and/or enjoyment. It helps, of course, but it’s certainly not necessary. I’ve had beautiful women put my penis in their mouths before, like… I definitely don’t understand why that ever happened, but hey, I’d be a damn fool not to appreciate and/or enjoy that.
7. The Linda Lindas are a punk band of young Asian American girls who recently went viral on Tikbookgramchat or whatever with this track called Racist, Sexist Boy. So awesome to see girls that young speakin’ on some real shit like that, especially considering the tense fuckin’ state of race relations in this bass-ackwards fuckin’ country of ours. I mean, I wish situations weren’t such that they felt compelled to do so, but I’m glad to see them channel that negativity into something positive. They were even featured briefly on TYT because of this jam, which is how I found them.
8. Shoutout to my boy Al for the Amigo the Devil track called Quiet as a Rat, shoutout to Ducky for the Grace Gale jam called Tijuana vs. Albuquerque, and shoutout to Shy for the phenomenal fuckin’ song CRISPr Me Baby One More Time by Troldhaugen (that shit’s fuckin’ bananas, and you’re about to find out for yourselves). If you wanna be shouted out, just try shootin’ me a track that you think I’d enjoy! I obviously listen to ALL sortsa fuckin’ shit. All anything’s gotta do is move me enough to be memorable, make me fuckin’ feel something, and I’m always movin’ y’all. Movin’ and feelin’ shit? I dunno, sure.
9. Apparently there is a nine this time, but this shit’s gettin’ a bit extensive, so let’s see if I can condense the rest of this intro. Let’s go through some especially notable jams here: HEALTH & Nine Inch Nails on a track together? Check! JUICEBOX is an artist I found when I was looking for tracks called “Vantablack,” for the recent Vantablack & Neon edition, but their jams didn’t fit on that edition, so they’re here now. 3 additional tracks called Vantablack, actually, and they’re all fuckin’ awesome. The track by We Are PIGS features Morgan Lander of Kittie fame, so if you’re still down with Kittie like I am, you ought to love that one. The Dark Lotus jam is a bonus track I just discovered, even though I’ve loved them for 20 fuckin’ years. I completely fuckin’ forgot that Opaque Brotherhood had a deluxe edition, so hey, all my juggalos ought to dig that. Washington is an artist that a Lyft passenger of mine turned me on to, and I’ve yet to hear a bad track from her. Hope y’all feel the same. Finally, CLANN, I found them from some random ad on Instagram talkin’ about a double vinyl release of their most recent album. I could’ve easily just scrolled away since I had no idea who the fuck they were at the time, but I decided to take the opportunity to learn some shit, and boy was I richly rewarded for my curiosity. I even posted about it a little over 2 months ago, but I forgot to include it on one of these editions until now. Like I said before, sometimes there’s too much shit to keep track of in life, ya know?
10. I know, I kinda cheated with that last point making it so fucking long. I know none of y’all are takin’ notes or anything on the info dumps that these intros typically are, but guess what?! Now, there’s nothing left to do but yojne! So yojne! What are you waiting for?! Me to stop talking?! Fair point, so just fuckin’ yojne, muthayojners!

How the shit is down, father-befrienders and father-befrienderettes?! Welcome to the Lo-Fi Beats to Study, Cry, Loaf On, Beat Off (Oxford comma) and Pet Kitties To Edition! For those out of the loop, Lo-Fi is short for low fidelity, and that’s a common characteristic of at least one instrument in all these tracks. Lo-Fi typically refers to instrumental hip-hop style beats, but as with so many genres, there are subgenres, sub-sub-genres, and super-sub-sub-genres, all with boundaries blurred here and there by XYZ artists. Yet again, verily I say unto thee (or some shit), genres are a great way to gain a preliminary understanding of music, but shouldn’t be used as measuring sticks to slap others on the wrists for daring to deviate. That garbage trash doo-doo makes you pretentious, elitist, and frankly, a nauseating bore.
I hope y’all yojned the fuck out of last week’s flashback edition, by the way. I was going to make this one last week, but between business and procrastination for myriad reasons, I didn’t find or make the time to compile anything until it was way too late. I knew that doing one of these Lo-Fi editions takes a long fuckin’ time, and I didn’t have that time last week. Either that, or I did, and I chose to do other things instead. I dun-fuckin’-no. I’ll just say that this edition is comprised of 87 fuckin’ tracks, and clocks in at a chinchilla’s twat hair over 3 hours and 40 minutes. Recording, cutting, optimizing, naming, bouncing, tagging, organizing and assembling that many fuckin’ tracks is a series of tasks that requires quite a lot of fuckin’ time; trust me. Y’all truly have no idea how much effort I put into this shit, and I’m grateful beyond words to everyone who’s bothered to listen.
Anyway, let’s discuss a bit about the shit in store for us this week:
1. Some of these tracks are remixes from video games, anime & covers, and they’re all fantastic enough to merit the effort of sharing them with y’all. You’ll notice a good portion of those types of tracks come from someone named Rifti Beats. Excellent artist I just discovered in making this edition, so I hope you yojne your goddamn genitals off backwards throughout it all.
2. The Gang Starr track called Deadly Habitz isn’t really Lo-Fi, but that track along with the album it’s from are both fuckin’ awesome, and I’ve loved ‘em since the early 2000s. I’ve played Gang Starr a number of times over the years, and while most of their tracks would potentially be a stark contrast to the rest of the stuff in this edition, I thought Deadly Habitz went along quite well. You’ll see, or hear.
3. Coinciding with that, I included a number of jazzy hip-hop jams that also aren’t technically lo-fi, but if y’all are gonna be pretentious-ass fuckin’ purists like that, there’s the damn door. Well, okay, so I can’t realistically point out a door for you, but find one and walk out of it for me. If you can hang, I think you’ll yojne as thoroughly as I do. The yojne takes practice sometimes, and some of y’all been slackin’.
4. A decent portion of these have a somber, melancholic feel to them, but don’t go thinking that they’re cries for help or anything. I just often find songs in minor keys to be more interesting than their major key counterparts. In case you’re unaware, minor key songs tend to evoke feelings of distress, sadness, etc. whereas major key songs typically evoke more positive emotions. That’s why you’ll find most pop music is made up of major keys. Anyway, yeah, minor music can be phenomenally beautiful, and I’m sure we could all use an expansion of our respective sad song libraries. Personally, I’ve found it exceptionally bothersome when over the years, I kept listening to the same assortment of tracks whenever I was depressed. That sort of thing exacerbated the negative emotions for me, ‘cause on top of already feeling bad about whatever, I also felt a nagging blandness in the music I sought for comfort. I dunno, maybe I’m just some psychotic freak, and nobody else is bothered by such things. Ah well.
5. Holy shit, I found a lo-fi cover of Cardi B’s WAP. Thoroughly amusing, and you’ll hear what I mean if you stick around.
6. To anyone confused by the “Loaf On,” portion of the title, I once knew someone who mispronounced Lo-Fi as loafy, so it’s kind of become a running joke ever since. Now you’re fully in the loop, and you can yojne to your fullest potential! Isn’t that fuckin’ wonderful?!
7. Nothin’ left to say except… yojne!

Mwahahaha!!!!!1!!!!11!!! Welcome, motherfuckers and motherfuckerettes, to the Massively Monstrous Metal Mother’s Day Edition of Monday Morning Aural Fuckin’ Sex! First of all, let me apologize once again that this edition is coming to you late. There were several pressing matters to which I had to attend, but goddammit, I still made it and got it out to you all. I sincerely hope some of you are still enjoying this podcast as much as you were when I first started putting it out, and as much as I still enjoy it. I’ve spent (and continue to spend) countless hours scouring my massive music collection for fucktacularity to share with you perverts. I know I’ve replayed a lot of tracks now, but that’ll happen when you put out a weekly podcast that’s usually over 2-3 hours long. Anyway, enough of all that shit. This podcast is 66 fuckin’ tracks of purest osmium and over 4 hours long, topping my previous all metal edition by 15 minutes or so. 66 tracks, and it’s being released on May 12th, 2014, which, if you take all the numbers of the date and add them together until you get a single digit number, you get a fuckin’ 6. I was hoping I could find another 6 in this equation somewhere, hehe.Also, just as I said on my previous all metal edition, I’m sure some of you might be glancing over this track listing and saying something to the effect of, “Mehh, those bands suck. They’re not metal. I know metal ‘cause I’m like, king (or queen) shit of all things metal, and my opinion is superior to yours just because.” To which I would respond with a full strength slap across your bitch-ass face, because you’re a fucking nimrod. Grow up; people like different shit. Get over it. Anyway, countdown to yojne in 3…2…1… Yojne!01 Limp Bizkit - Intro (from Three Dollar Bill, Y’All) [00:01:51]02 Behemoth - Ov Fire and the Void (from Evangelion) [00:02:40]03 Fear Factory - 0-0 {Where Evil Dwells} (from Obsolete) [00:07:05]04 iwrestledabearonce - See You In Shell (from It’s All Happening) [00:11:56]05 Otep - Eet the Children (from The Ascension) [00:15:12]06 Bad Acid Trip - Beware of the Little People With Terrible Visions (from Lynch the Weirdo) [00:18:57]07 A Black Rose Burial - Straight From the Mind of the Modern Day Vigilante (from An Awakening of Revenants) [00:19:09]08 Pantera - Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills (from Far Beyond Driven) [00:22:12]09 Ministry - Cuz U R Next (from The Wicked Lake OST) [00:24:57]10 With Dead Hands Rising - That’s Why You Don’t Pick Up Dead Crows (from Horror Grows Near) [00:28:06]11 White Zombie - Feed the Gods (from Airheads OST) [00:31:03]12 Buckethead - Funbus (feat.

What the fuck is up, perverts?! Welcome to the 2nd volume of the Don’t Funk With My Soul Edition of Monday Morning Aural fuckin’ Sex! It’s been over a year since the 1st one, actually. No particular reason why except that I know not everyone can hang with funk & soul. I think y’all are missin’ out, and I’ll bet ya just haven’t had any experiences in your lives for which funk or soul are appropriate soundtracks. Goddamn shame, and I hope for your sake that you learn to love it someday the way I do.
Anyway, this is obviously a grand departure in overall tonality from last week’s Vantablack & Neon Edition. I suspect this one won’t be listened to nearly as much, but like I said, you’re missin’ out. Lots of fuckin’ wonderful classics and newer jams in here. Some of them are tracks from previous editions that deserve to be featured here, some are old favorites from ages ago that just haven’t been played on this podcast at all yet. Frankly, between this edition and the 1st one I made last year, I think they’re both excellent introductions to the genres if you’re somehow entirely unfamiliar. There are a couple things I want to mention before we get goin’:
1. The song by H.E.R. called, “I Can’t Breathe;” I’ve played that a number of times on this podcast since I found it last year. It’s a beautiful and important song, and it deserves repeated listens. Keep your ears open for it if this’ll be your first time listening to it. The recited poetry from the latter half of the track is just… wow. Speaking as someone whose chosen creative medium for over 20 years has been poetry, that one’s jarring. It’s deliberately uncomfortable for anyone still in the dark about there being two Americas; two very different experiences largely dependent on nothing else but the melanin content of your skin. Listen to it, listen to it, listen to it. That’s all.
2. The James Brown song called, “King Heroin.” Another one with rough subject matter, but important nonetheless. Even in years past, I would’ve thought or said I knew enough about the subject. Now, I know too much. Funk & soul aren’t always the danceable jams you’re used to hearing on the radio and shit. Lots of really real shit spoken about on these albums; all you gotta do is dig a little, pay a little attention, be a little curious.
3. A good number of these tracks were ones I found or rediscovered through a show called Snowfall. It’s an FX show, but it’s also available on Hulu. It’s about how the crack epidemic started, how the CIA was involved, etc. I don’t know how true to life it is, but how it’s depicted gives you some pretty good insight into how ugly the whole thing was and continues to be. It’s a fantastic show, and it deserves awards. I’m never one to call for anyone to win awards, but Snowfall deserves them in my opinion.
4. I’ve never closely examined the differences between disco & funk, but so far as I can tell, disco has more poppy vibes whereas funk is more jazzy. Jazzier? I dunno. I only bring it up ‘cause I know there are probably all sorts of disco compilations that have Kool & The Gang tracks on them. I imagine a number of funk/disco artists may have either walked the line between the two, or fully transitioned at some point insofar as any group realistically can, given the already moderately blurry boundaries between them.
5. On a similar note, I have little doubt in my mind that either R&B formed from soul, or vice versa. I think those two especially share a lot of similarities. So, you may hear some R&Bish tracks that are being designated as soul for the purposes of this podcast, but ya know, try not to get your asshole tied in too tight a knot over it. I know there are some more notable differences, especially when contrasting two entirely different eras of popular music. Like, obviously there are differences between Boyz II Men and Four Tops, but I also think the two crowds wouldn’t have much to fight each other about if they were together at a concert.
6. Future funk is a thing. The first thing that popped into my head seeing that phrase is, “Daft Punk,” and I may very well include some of their jams in future installments of this. These editions might veer a bit into house territory at some point, but try not to punch yourselves in the face too hard over it. It’s just music, silly perverts. All that matters is whether or not it moves you. Both negative and positive reactions are just as valid and fascinating, by the way. Even the stuff that doesn’t affect you much at all. There have been numerous occasions when I listened to something, and it didn’t hit me that hard until I went back to it and paid closer attention. The first Slipknot album was like that for me, and now it’s one of my all-time favorites. You just have to remain open to the possibility that you may have missed something, and with a little curiosity, a little focus, you can go back anytime and find it. That applies to all sorts of stuff, actually.
7. The Labrinth track called, “Still Don’t Know My Name.” I’ve played that one numerous times since I discovered it. That one’s prominently featured in the HBO series called Euphoria. Another one that’s rough in subject matter, but painfully beautiful in depiction. Highly recommend that one along with Snowfall.
