must always find Satan a more likely hypothesis as

Maybe it's because of the approaching December chill,
maybe it's because I've been depressed as fuck
lately-- but this Thursday's RADIO SCHIZO is themed
around what I'll call "dark post-punk" from about
1978-1985.*

That means moody, GUITAR-DRIVEN, post punk rock. NO
drum machines. No synths (well, unless they're
employed in a really cool way, like The Screamers and
Nervous Gender). No Death in June, no Sisters of
Mercy. No wanky neo-goth. No campy, kitschy horror
stuff. Just gloomy, moody, ponderous post-punk - GANG
OF FOUR, WARSAW/JOY DIVISION/UK DECAY/THE EX, etc.

You can send requests.

*Well, for the most part.
