Sunny Hill – Monday Blues

Video 4 Comments

When my daughters were adolescents they got into manga and anime and Pokémon and YuGiOh. They had Tamagotchi virtual pets that died untimely but completely predictable deaths, and for awhile our youngest wouldn't let us go to the grocery store without bringing home Pocky. Their musical tastes were dominated by boy bands and girl groups and Disney variants, and they each had their flirtations with A-pop. I was reminded of all this while looking for a song about Monday on YouTube and stumbling across this contemporary cultural document. So to kick off my guest week here’s some new Seoul music, because I don't mind a little sugar-frosted K-Pop for breakfast. How about you?

After Forever – Discord

Video

I was debating whether I should post an Epica video, since there's been a number of them in the past because they are awesome. Instead, I decided to go with a band with a similar sound (though who have been split-up for awhile now.)

Evenoire – Drops of Amber

Video

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_raog1tXWE

This is a newer band that I came across last year when I picked up their second release, Herons on a whim and I loved it. Metal-archives describes them as gothic/folk metal. It seems like having a female lead singer gets that gothic tag automatically stuck on, even though this sounds more like a traditional metal style with folk elements (mostly in the vocal work). But anyway, that doesn't even really matter as long as the music is good.

Nightwish – Wishmaster

Video 8 Comments

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJTlH521E6w

There was lot of crap that happened in 2014 related to domestic violence/harassment of women. When I sent in my letter for the end of the year Friday Music Day, I realized I had purchased a lot of music from female-fronted bands. Heavy metal has always been, and will probably always be, heavily skewing towards males, but it is starting to get much more diverse, gender-wise, these days. So, with all of the crap that happened last year, I thought I'd spend a week celebrating what that type of diversity can bring to music like this.

Up first is Nightwish, who basically made symphonic metal with a classically trained vocalist a thing.

Guest DJs 2015

Well, looks like it's about that time again, kiddos. We're looking for a few sensitive young men and women to spin the black circles. If you want a crack that at whole DJ thing, just let us know below. We will continue following the same selection rules based on previous DJ stints. I re-jiggered the schedule a little in that December will be reserved for a slew of volunteers to showcase their best-ofs (as we did in 2013).

Come be the next opportunistic renegade. Any questions, just ask, yo.
