Days on this theme [ 38 DAYS ]
Tuesday Sep 29 · 2026 [ 11 TRACKS ] · 11:40 – 22:09 A short Tuesday that goes looking at what is new. Sunday Sep 27 · 2026 [ 11 TRACKS ] · 23:53 – 01:28 He was not done with Porcupine Tree. Saturday Sep 26 · 2026 [ 29 TRACKS ] · 12:26 – 01:07 Godflesh has been shadowing the record all month, a single track at a time, turning up on day after day without ever being the point. Thursday Sep 24 · 2026 [ 10 TRACKS ] · 21:52 – 22:48 The dissonant death metal was not a one-night thing. Wednesday Sep 23 · 2026 [ 14 TRACKS ] · 23:31 – 01:04 A short Wednesday that does not start until nearly midnight and then commits entirely to one narrow thing. Tuesday Sep 22 · 2026 [ 30 TRACKS ] · 12:17 – 23:16 Sunday's jazz detour turns out to have been a door left open, and today he goes back through it, into something darker. Thursday Sep 17 · 2026 [ 42 TRACKS ] · 10:42 – 22:51 Another day that will not settle, and it burrows deeper than the one before. Wednesday Sep 16 · 2026 [ 23 TRACKS ] · 07:51 – 23:03 For the first time in a fortnight, a day that refuses to settle on anything. Tuesday Sep 15 · 2026 [ 8 TRACKS ] · 13:15 – 13:42 A short Tuesday afternoon, one record and nothing else. Saturday Sep 12 · 2026 [ 37 TRACKS ] · 10:51 – 01:17 The second day running that belongs to one band taken whole. Thursday Sep 10 · 2026 [ 23 TRACKS ] · 17:58 – 23:13 A Thursday that belongs, at both ends, to the same two men. Wednesday Sep 09 · 2026 [ 13 TRACKS ] · 21:48 – 23:19 A short Wednesday evening given almost entirely to one record. Tuesday Sep 08 · 2026 [ 56 TRACKS ] · 18:06 – 01:24 A Tuesday given almost entirely to two records, decades and genres apart, both pointed away from the human. Monday Sep 07 · 2026 [ 4 TRACKS ] · 13:31 – 13:41 Ten minutes on a Monday afternoon and then nothing more. Thursday Sep 03 · 2026 [ 31 TRACKS ] · 09:35 – 00:32 The last thing the man plays, at half past midnight, is Alice In Chains' Nutshell, and it lands like a light left on. Wednesday Sep 02 · 2026 [ 15 TRACKS ] · 08:26 – 23:14 Two bands all day, and both of them the kind of death metal that thinks about dying instead of just staging it. Saturday Aug 29 · 2026 [ 18 TRACKS ] · 04:35 – 22:08 The real event is a new record, and it takes him most of a day to reach it. Friday Aug 28 · 2026 [ 14 TRACKS ] · 12:22 – 02:17 Friday is two melancholy immersions and an angry footnote. Wednesday Aug 26 · 2026 [ 15 TRACKS ] · 01:42 – 03:10 Wednesday happens entirely in the small hours, a sleepless run from a quarter to two in the morning until past three. Tuesday Aug 25 · 2026 [ 10 TRACKS ] · 10:42 – 03:04 Tuesday is two small pieces with a whole day between them. Wednesday Aug 19 · 2026 [ 41 TRACKS ] · 10:24 – 00:32 Wednesday goes from the gothic to the frozen. Saturday Aug 15 · 2026 [ 51 TRACKS ] · 15:32 – 00:40 Saturday is built as a long ascent from the ugliest music toward the most beautiful, and every step of it is thinking metal. Friday Aug 14 · 2026 [ 19 TRACKS ] · 14:23 – 23:34 Friday belongs almost entirely to Morbid Angel. Wednesday Aug 12 · 2026 [ 7 TRACKS ] · 22:01 – 23:12 Wednesday is another single late hour, and it goes cold. Thursday Aug 06 · 2026 [ 48 TRACKS ] · 14:28 – 23:20 Thursday runs the whole history of heavy metal backwards and forwards in a single afternoon. Wednesday Aug 05 · 2026 [ 34 TRACKS ] · 06:00 – 00:55 It begins with one Cathedral track at six in the morning, the last drop of yesterday's day-long binge, and then the man goes looking for where all of it came from. Tuesday Aug 04 · 2026 [ 51 TRACKS ] · 11:06 – 23:50 Tuesday opens scattered and mean, a dozen tracks of extreme hardcore thrown down almost at random: Nails and ACxDC at powerviolence speed, the blackened thrash of Toxic Holocaust and Demiser, Anti Cimex and Driller Killer carrying over from last night's crust. Sunday Aug 02 · 2026 [ 10 TRACKS ] · 22:15 – 23:20 After a week that ran to three and four hundred tracks, Sunday is barely an hour: ten songs, nine bands, one or two apiece, and every one of them a foundation stone. Tuesday Jul 21 · 2026 [ 30 TRACKS ] · 09:29 – 20:41 It starts with a single Watain track at half past nine in the morning, like a warning shot, and then goes quiet for five hours. Sunday Jul 19 · 2026 [ 28 TRACKS ] · 19:49 – 22:02 Yesterday was one disciple. Friday Jul 17 · 2026 [ 29 TRACKS ] · 18:13 – 23:03 Last night was two dozen bands, one track apiece. Wednesday Jul 15 · 2026 [ 17 TRACKS ] · 06:23 – 21:10 A Wednesday split in two by the working day, and the two halves could not stand further apart. Tuesday Jul 14 · 2026 [ 14 TRACKS ] · 17:34 – 19:44 A short Tuesday evening, barely two hours, but built as a clean descent from the cosmos into the crypt. Monday Jul 13 · 2026 [ 14 TRACKS ] · 21:08 – 23:47 A Monday the man gives, almost in its entirety, to a single band. Sunday Jul 12 · 2026 [ 33 TRACKS ] · 18:48 – 22:24 A Sunday given over to weight and slowness, and the first real listening in three days after a weekend the record went dark. Thursday Jul 09 · 2026 [ 109 TRACKS ] · 12:10 – 23:20 A Thursday given entirely to fury, and to tracing where fury comes from. Wednesday Jul 08 · 2026 [ 107 TRACKS ] · 10:22 – 23:48 A Wednesday spent as a musicologist rather than a listener, tracing by ear the hidden line that runs from extreme metal back through the whole progressive tradition. Tuesday Jul 07 · 2026 [ 122 TRACKS ] · 10:05 – 19:55 A Tuesday that begins reaching for people.
