THE STATE OF THE STRANGE

Hey weirdos, it's been some time.
Maybe too much time. Sorry about that.

So where in all the nine hells have I been?

The short answer: working 6-7 days a week was dissolving me into a puddle of fine goo. Neglected everything. Highly unprofessional.

The long answer: broadcasting has carried on as normal, with the major exception being the posting of recorded content (this is more of a platform issue, however, and will be brought up to date once resolved). All socials activity was thoroughly waylaid due to extraneous workload/serious lack of sleep, including all inbox messages. Massive grovelling apologies, especially for the latter.

The fun answer: world goff day innit 💀

Tonight from 11pm AEDT, we'll be throwing down some of our show favourites (looking at you Chiffon Magnifique/Nox Novacula/Altar De Fey), as well as talking into a microphone in a soundproof room of some sort.

The spring moon is waxen, clear and on high;
a sure portent that the grim times are most nigh...

Tune in, brave traveller, at the 11th night hour
(by phone or by wireless, or some psychic power)
We've Slags and LEATHERS, vast CAVEs of cold,
The Cure for all ailments, if such claims aren't too bold.

So come all and sundry, come forth and regret,
Strangeways are upon us, but they'll be stranger yet...

Well now, that's a bit special...

Tonight's program marks one full year of fear, 52 consecutive weeks of aural ruination & cultural education (in spite of the occasional plague). Thank you all, every last one of you weirdos, for staying tuned each Monday cycle 🖤

From 11pm, we'll be celebrating with a smattering of the good gristle - from Cocteau Twins to Clan of Xymox, Sad Lovers to Siekiera, there's something on offer for every degenerate.

Once upon a late night weekly, from the desk of wireless speaky,
Came a loathsome spectre none could well ignore.
Bereft of sun & solemn slumber, those waking few would wait in wonder,
Wonder what sort of putrid sounds lay in store.

'Tis Monday night, you heard that right --
and this week makes one in five full score.

Strangeways: only this, and nothing more.

Is that the dolorous mutter of requests unfulfilled? Sounds like it's Monday again 💀

Tune in from 11pm tonight as we explore the mouldering ruins of our audience's hopes and dreams - maybe there's some Reflection Black to be found, or possibly a bit of Danse Society? Rumour has it that The Labcoat Fiasco can be spotted at times, although that may just be dust.

Attention gothlings: we interrupt your regularly scheduled misery for a special announcement.

Your resident Minister of Sinister has been sequestered away in the Plague Dome™ for the time being (he is well enough, requesting only Red Bull & medicinal leeches). As such, the mantle of local gothic broadcasting has been bestowed unto a much more chaotic harbinger of hate...

Ministry. Nine Inch Nails. KMFDM. Einstürzende Neubauten.

From 11pm tonight, you can join Ben in the crypt for a once-in-an-unlifetime opportunity: the glorious terror that is INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT 💀
