Episode #23 - Dead Alive

1. Song: Catasstasteatrophy , Artist: White Mice , Album: BLasssTPhlEgMEICE (Load)
2. Song: Untitled , Artist: 16 Bitch Pile Up , Album: Bury Me Deep (Troniks)

• First off, love the cover art - a throwback to '70s slasher flicks ("The beaches were covered in blood......and so were the bitches!"). This plays like a murkier version of Nurse With Wound's Homotopy to Marie, but with a little more variety in the sense that it's not as cohesive. There's tons of stuff just lurking below the surface, which gives me the feeling that this is one of those albums where you discover something else on each listen. This is the second track ("The Dead Boy Would Not Go Away"(?)), eighteen minutes of somewhat soothing drone.

3. Song: The Death Mask , Artist: JM Ginsberg , Album: Everyday Is Halloween (Self-Released)

• Creepy children's voices at the end of this track remind me of Tales from the Crypt.
