A Darker Shade of Pagan: Podcast for 08/24/08
New this week: Brand new music from Blackmore’s Night.
Other notes: This week sees the first official ADSOP cd giveaway. Listen to the podcast to learn how to win a free copy of Blackmore’s Night’s new album “Secret Voyage”. In other news, if you use Facebook, why not become a “fan” of A Darker Shade of Pagan there.
In the future: Even more stuff (and by “stuff”, I mean great new music).
A Darker Shade of Pagan: Podcast for 08/17/08
New this week: Brand new music from Fern Knight, Bat For Lashes (from the upcoming Cure tribute “Perfect As Cats”), Novemthree, and Bon Iver !
Other notes: This week I fell in love with a Test Dept. / Brith Gof collaboration called “Gododdin”, and played a track from it that I found on the Internet. Sadly the album seems to be out of print. I would love to get my hands on a copy (CD or digitial), so drop me a line if you have any leads that don’t cost me an arm and a leg (Got it! Expect to hear more from this album in the future.). In other news, if you use Facebook, why not become a “fan” of A Darker Shade of Pagan there.
In the future: You can expect wonderful things (and new music), including some possible ADSOP CD giveaways!
A Darker Shade of Pagan: Podcast for 08/10/08
New this week: Brand new music from Falling You, and Mercury-prize nominated folk act Rachel Unthank and the Winterset.
Other notes: I was pretty pleased with the “flow” of music this week. I also ended up playing just about every band mentioned in my recent collection of capsule reviews. In other news, if you use Facebook, why not become a “fan” of A Darker Shade of Pagan there.
In the future: Expect some older stuff from Sharron Kraus (and friends) that will interest my explicitly Pagan listeners. Plus, I may play a preview track from an excellent-looking Cure tribute coming out from Manimal Vinyl.
A Darker Shade of Pagan: Podcast for 08/03/08
New this week: Brand new music from Pamela Wyn Shannon, Accolade, and Revue Noir!
Other notes: The theme this week was “autumnal” in honor of Lughnasadh. Though it may not feel like autumn yet, especially here in the Midwest, the wheel is slowly turning and before long well be raking lawns, harvesting apples, and preparing for the coming Winter. In other news, if you use Facebook, why not become a “fan” of A Darker Shade of Pagan there.
In the future: I completely forgot to play some Rachel Unthank and the Winterset, so expect that next week! You may also hear some experimental wonder-working from Madison’s Kinit Her.
A Darker Shade of Pagan: Podcast for 07/27/08
New this week: Nothing “brand new”, but I did play cuts from new releases by Qntal and Lunascape.
Other notes: This week was a special tribute to Dancing Ferret/Noir records, who are closing up shop in November. All the songs, except the closer, were from DF/Noir releases.
In the future: Expect to hear music from Mercury-shortlisted artists Rachel Unthank and the Winterset.
A Darker Shade of Pagan: Podcast for 07/20/08
New this week: Brand new stuff from Incus, Silver Summit, Rusalnaia, and Sharron Kraus!
Other notes: This week was a special tribute to the late, lamented, Woven Wheat Whispers distributor/label. As such the majority of the tracks were from artists who either sold their music through WWW, or appeared on one of their compilations.
In the future: I will be doing a tribute to Dancing Ferret/Noir records next week. The popular goth/darkwave label will be closing up shop come November. They have exposed American artists to a variety of great Pagan-friendly European acts.
A Darker Shade of Pagan: Podcast for 07/13/08
New this week: Lux Interna’s “A Lantern Carried in Blood and Skin” and Tearwave’s “Different Shade of Beauty”. Also, still relatively fresh from last week is “Musique du Crépuscule” by the French band Les Fragments de la Nuit.
Other Notes: I played two cover-songs this week. Tearwave’s rendition of “Under the Milky Way”, a song by The Church, and Unto Ashes’ version of “Ostia (The Death of Pasolini)” by Coil. The song “The Hunter/Cernunnos” is by classic Pagan rock band The Moors, their first and only album is available for purchase once more! Pick it up while you have the chance!
In the Future: I’m expecting a brand new album by popular Pagan-festival act Incus any time now, so expect to be hearing more about that soon.
