Am I the Drama?

Jan 28, 2023 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM

Music

With wired academic

Join me each week as I attempt to create a perfect playlist for the most dramatic of cartoon villains. I will be blasting one song after another like the tired student that I am, finding ways to stay awake without fueling their coffee addiction.

Set Break: History and Politics of Black Metal

Metal bands, much like punk rock or other rock bands, frequently handle politics in their music lyrics. Black metal is one of the most notorious of the subgenres of metal that do this however, in particular, because of a history of white-supremacist ideologies permeating the BM space. In this set break, which is the first and last one for this fall season (hopefully more set breaks next season), I'll be quickly chatting about some of the problems in BM.

TAndy 7:03:59 AM
The final Drama >:)
Inci (host) 7:04:51 AM
Yeah the final drama...until I think maybe next Tuesday hahaha
TAndy 7:06:47 AM
Chewsday morning?
Inci (host) 7:09:01 AM
This time I believe it`ll be alternating Tuesday 3-5 pm
TAndy 7:09:30 AM
Oh sweet, that'll be a fun time! Keeping the Metal theme?
Inci (host) 7:09:33 AM
Not morning this time both unfortunately and fortunately because sometimes waking up early is tiring haha
Inci (host) 7:09:37 AM
yep yep
TAndy 7:10:23 AM
Sweet, another Metal promoter for the channel. Alls we need is Dessert Cruising and Time & Sludge in one extremely powerful broadcast day
Inci (host) 7:10:44 AM
This is true!
TAndy 7:23:14 AM
This goes so hard
TAndy 7:55:54 AM
This too, so nice.
TAndy 8:03:02 AM
Thanks for the brief context lesson during the mic break, and I would love for more of these kinds of analyses for some future shows, similarly to how a certain other DJ has special historical shows every now and then.
Inci (host) 8:03:45 AM
Awesome! Glad to hear it (and yep haha like a certain other DJ)
TAndy 8:04:12 AM
Black Metal has always been a genre that I respect and appreciate, but has such a strong acquired taste that also keeps so many people from getting into it. I absolutely do see it as one of the more raw or primal genres of music. I do however LOVE the crossover it has for other genres like Dungeonsynth or Blackgaze
Inci (host) 8:06:19 AM
Yes I agree with this, it`s definitely extreme metal, and I tend to avoid listening to it too frequently because of that as well-- but yes I also love its crossover with folk a lot, would recommend Panopticon actually for a little bit folky tune and maybe Skagos
TAndy 8:07:46 AM
I really like what I've heard of Panopticon so far, it's very solemn and introspective.
TAndy 8:11:30 AM
It honestly wasn't until I heard Trhä on PAX's show last year that I really started to understand and respect black metal, before that it was just too rough for me. I guess Trhä opened my third eye so to speak lolol
Inci (host) 8:12:02 AM
That`s good! I don`t think I`ve listened to them before, so I`ll check them out!
Inci (host) 8:12:45 AM
I`m also relatively new to BM since I usually listen to heavy metal
Andy Wing 8:26:52 AM
New show? Really liking this epic stuff.
TAndy 8:27:48 AM
Loving that stomping sound
Inci (host) 8:28:51 AM
Haha thanks, this show is a metal exploration show I did this fall season but it will be back on Tuesdays with alternating schedule!
Inci (host) 8:28:59 AM
I do like the stomping yes
TAndy 8:33:39 AM
This is so good.
TAndy 8:37:05 AM
THIS
TAndy 8:48:45 AM
Shredddddd
TAndy 8:56:06 AM
Thank you for the show today, Inci! Looking forward to the new show
Inci (host) 8:57:58 AM
Thank you for listening and the chats this season!!
