Thought Crime Spree

Tuesdays, 12 pm- 1 pm, Central Time, United States. Listen using the embedded stream above, or at KWUR.com.




This is the tumblr for my weekly radio show, Thought Crime Spree. I play metal, drone, post-rock, long form composition, as often as I'm able to broadcast. Stay tuned for posts related to new metal, old metal, things that I like, and discussion about about songs, albums, and artists.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

For your daily dose of underground black metal: here’s Bone Awl, with “Show Me”. This is one of the most vitriolic, angry things I’ve ever heard. And it’s fucking great. I really love how the American scene decided to fuse punk and black metal together - the genres compliment each other a lot more than you’d initially think. Here’s hoping Bone Awl release some new material soon.

New Album Stream: Kylesa

Pitchfork Advance done good. Real good. They’e offering a stream of the newest record from Kylesa, entitled “Ultraviolet”, and I have to say, it’s pretty damn great. It’s more psychedelic than 2011’s “Spiral Shadow”, but it doesn’t sacrifice any of the sludgy goodness that Kylesa built their name on. It really doesn’t get much better. For those in St. Louis, Kylesa will be performing at The Firebird on June 7th! 

Played 13 times

Here’s “Black Wedding”, the first track from Sunn O)))’s “The Grimmrobe Demos”. The first 8 seconds of this track are monstrous, consisting of a low, claustrophobic rumble that forewarns of the impending torrent. Apart from that, the 19 minutes of depressive drone-doom that make up this track are top-notch. Turn the volume up. 

FINALS WEEK BROADCAST! I took over the studio for 2 hours. Here’s what I played. I might possibly do another show next week, depending on scheduling. Thanks for listening, everyone! In case I don’t do another show this semester, THOUGHT CRIME SPREE will return in the first week of June. Stay tuned.

Tune in for metal, and relieve yourself of some finals week anger.

2012 FUNERAL DOOM PLAYLIST. Solid show, and a fitting epitaph for the official KWUR semester. The fact that most of today’s playlist came from Profound Lore shows how strong that label is. See y’all next week for the first unofficial Thought Crime Spree of the semester.

MELANCHOLY

RIGHT NOW: THOUGHT CRIME SPREE TAKES A LOOK AT FUNERAL DOOM OF 2012. Featuring Bell Witch, Bereft, Anhedonist, and a very special presentation of Aldebaran’s “Forever in the Dream of Death”. It’s gonna be a fantastic show, folks. 

In honor of Earth Day, here’s “Toxic Garbage Island” by Gojira. 

Guess what day it is? Here’s DOPESMOKER by SLEEP, in its entirety. One of these days, I’ll try and play this thing on the air.

Shortened underground black metal playlist (Helen Money was the background music). Apologies for delayed upload. The playlist was cut short on Tuesday due to my trainee playing songs and learning about the studio equipment. Successful show, all around.
