Days on this theme [ 23 DAYS ]
Monday Oct 05 · 2026 [ 12 TRACKS ] · 23:01 – 01:33 Monday's hour is built like a conversation with one band. Sunday Oct 04 · 2026 [ 11 TRACKS ] · 23:42 – 00:48 Another hour after midnight, and prog is now the default setting. Saturday Oct 03 · 2026 [ 8 TRACKS ] · 00:04 – 01:18 Saturday does not begin until four minutes past midnight, and the first thing it plays is Your Ghost Again. 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. Friday Sep 25 · 2026 [ 4 TRACKS ] · 12:49 – 19:08 After two nights sealed inside dissonant death metal, the opposite: a quiet, sparse Friday of neofolk. 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. Monday Sep 21 · 2026 [ 23 TRACKS ] · 11:46 – 22:53 The pivot the fusion fragment hinted at becomes the whole of Monday: a day given to prog in both its ages. Thursday Sep 17 · 2026 [ 42 TRACKS ] · 10:42 – 22:51 Another day that will not settle, and it burrows deeper than the one before. Saturday Sep 12 · 2026 [ 37 TRACKS ] · 10:51 – 01:17 The second day running that belongs to one band taken whole. Monday Sep 07 · 2026 [ 4 TRACKS ] · 13:31 – 13:41 Ten minutes on a Monday afternoon and then nothing more. 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. Friday Aug 28 · 2026 [ 14 TRACKS ] · 12:22 – 02:17 Friday is two melancholy immersions and an angry footnote. Tuesday Aug 18 · 2026 [ 40 TRACKS ] · 09:34 – 23:50 Tuesday makes it a third Opeth day in four, and this time it goes all the way in. Monday Aug 17 · 2026 [ 10 TRACKS ] · 21:49 – 23:13 After a silent Sunday, Monday is nothing but Opeth. 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. Sunday Jul 26 · 2026 [ 5 TRACKS ] · 22:54 – 23:36 Two days of ninety-nine tracks each, and then this: five songs, one record, forty minutes, all of it frozen. Wednesday Jul 22 · 2026 [ 12 TRACKS ] · 18:51 – 21:30 After yesterday's trip to the bottom, tonight he just puts things on. Sunday Jul 19 · 2026 [ 28 TRACKS ] · 19:49 – 22:02 Yesterday was one disciple. Saturday Jul 18 · 2026 [ 7 TRACKS ] · 20:30 – 22:54 Seven songs, one band, no one else invited. 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. 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. Saturday Jul 04 · 2026 [ 50 TRACKS ] · 15:47 – 22:10 A Saturday that reads, start to finish, as one long meditation on death and the occult, approached from every angle a record collection allows.
