• CD-R EP made specifically for Isis' tour with Neurosis and Candiria; limited to 200 copies. Also features covers of Godflesh's "Streetcleaner" and Black Sabbath's "Hand of Doom".

4. Song: Vultures , Artist: Drumcorps , Album: Rmx or Die (Kriss)

7. Song: I Hate This Dumpster , Artist: Amps for Christ , Album: Every Eleven Seconds (5 Rue Christine)
8. Song: Lesser Animal , Artist: Pig Destroyer , Album: Phantom Limb (Relapse)

• New Pig Destroyer album on Relapse. Not as great as Terrifyer or Prowler In the Yard, but stills kicks nonetheless. This track, along with opener "Rotten Yellow" are two of the better tracks.

9. Song: Pure II , Artist: Godflesh , Album: Pure (Earache)

• Added due to a listener recommendation.

10. Song: In Every Dream Home a Heartache , Artist: Roxy Music , Album: Wonderland: Music From the Motion Picture (Epic/Sony)

• Pretty interesting lyrics to this one - love the line "Your skin is like vinyl/The perfect companion". Oh yeah, and the song's about a blow-up doll ("Inflatable doll/My role is to serve you/Can't throw you away now/Immortal and life size/My breath is inside you/I'll dress you up daily/And keep you till death sighs").

Episode #15 - They Only Come Out at Night

1. Song: Dark Night , Artist: The Blasters , Album: From Dusk Till Dawn (Sony)
2. Song: Loose , Artist: Boris , Album: Dronevil: Final (Inoxia)
3. Song: Bela Lugosi's Dead , Artist: Bauhaus , Album: Left of the Dial: Dispatches from the '80s Underground (Rhino)

• Four-disc boxed set on the excellent Rhino label. Also includes tracks by Dinosaur Jr., Throbbing Gristle, R.E.M., Depeche Mode, Ministry, Bad Brains, Jane's Addiction, Cocteau Twins, Butthole Surfers, Dead Kennedys, Mission of Burma, New Order, Black Flag, and many more.

4. Song: If You're a Wizard, Then Why Do You Wear Glasses? , Artist: Liars , Album: They Were Wrong, So We Drowned (Mute)
5. Song: Greasy Spoon , Artist: Throbbing Gristle , Album: Part Two: Endless Not (Mute)

• First album from Throbbing Gristle in over 20 years. The new album is a mixed affair, akin more to 20 Jazz Funk Greats than any of the Report albums. Most noticeable are the clean production values and Genesis P-Orridge's attempts to actually sing, where he falls flat most of the time, except on "Lyre Liar". All in all, kind of so-so; I'm just glad it's not an absolute stinkbomb, although the cover art is terrible. Tracks like this one, along with the opener "Vow of Silence", are great though.

6. Song: Lynch , Artist: Dälek , Album: Abandoned Language (Ipecac)
7. Song: Danse Macabre , Artist: Celtic Frost , Album: Morbid Tales (Metal Blade)
8. Song: The Crossing , Artist: Amps for Christ , Album: Every Eleven Seconds (5 Rue Christine) 9: Song: Lily, Henry, and The Willow Trees , Artist: Marissa Nadler , Album: The Saga of Mayflower May (Eclipse)
