Music-lovers!

Did you miss me? I got DP'd by men's AND women's basketball last week and didn't have a show. But I was back this week in all my amateur radio glory! Bask in its radiance. Let the light of my visage warm your faces like the sun on the most perfect day at the beach you've ever known. And what better way to soundtrack this moment than these songs I played last night:

I think its cute that now that wh is dead ppl understand I had more to do with its creation than Robert Disaro, it was always me and CDX (Mater Suspiria Vision, just ask ConorTripler) though seeing im still an unsung hero of this or any other movement I've helped create, Id like to be hailed as the #ICEKING because my music has always been cold, dark and windy rather than the slow and muddled sound that has became loved and revered by the likes of indie pop pioneers HTRK and Pictureplane (Slow Head, Nattymari, party trash, ijĒŞǙŞ ҚĦŖiŞŢ (R.I.P.)).

So now that the wicked witch is dead, her soul and spirit ripped out, eaten, and given new meaning by Esben And The Witch, Florence + the Machine and of course every occultist's favourite The Peach Tree ( Daemonization ), I'd like to take a chance to acknowledge some coldwave (icerave) favourites; Recent heros of music who are legitimate and amazing acts that were mistakenly caught up in the confusion and trapped in the witch house until it's collapse. …
