DEATH // SENTENCE

Me and Langdon Hickman (@langdonhickman) talk about Giorgio De Maria's cult-classic horror-ish novel 20 Days of Turin and the much more horrifying prospect of the publishing industry chasing Trump voters, then we play new tracks by... Messa https://messa666.bandcamp.com/ and Panopticon https://thetruepanopticon.bandcamp.com/album/the-scars-of-man-on-the-once-nameless-wilderness-i-and-ii You can follow DEATH // SENTENCE on Twitter on @DeathSentencePC and email me your nonsense at deathsentencepodcast@gmail.com

I talk about Emily Chang's book Brotopia for about eight seconds then launch into an extremely relatable discussion of neoliberalism, Cambridge Analytica, scurvy, Molly, orgy domes, Russia and the Four Horsemen of the Internet Apocalypse. Then I play Feminazgul and Olivia Neutered John. There's something for everyone on this week's DEATH // SENTENCE!

On another double episode, I talk about Eugene Lim's Dear Cyborgs and Nicky Drayden's The Prey of Gods, but also Metal Gear Revengeance again, Black Panther, prestige television, Pig Destroyer and the meaning of literature or something.

It has always been my dream to record extremely likable #content, and in this episode, I think I've finally done it. I talk about Azareen Van der Vliet Oloomi's Call Me Zebra and Inio Asano's Goodnight Punpun, but also relatable topics like sweaty Manga dudes, the Death Stranding trailer, when bae be acting crazy, work, finding porn, poop gods, Don Quixote and how little my opinions matter. There's something for everyone!

In this interview with the author of the rather good The Sky Is Yours we talk genre, getting published, reading slush piles, dragons, Logan Paul and the CIA cutting holes in your clothes. Just another regular episode of the internet's most normal podcast! Music by Coffin Sore: https://coffinsore.bandcamp.com/releases And BLÜ SHORTS: https://blushorts.bandcamp.com/

On this very special episode, I come up with a far better idea than podcasting: a Youtube series in which an Australian Death Metal vocalist who wears a grandfather clock on his head runs around town headbutting people. Like, really giving it to them. Unfortunately, to get this million dollar original idea (do not steal it) I had to slog through Moshin Hamid's Exit West, a very bad book. I also talk about portals, firearms, the Turkish assault on Afrin, the Spanish Civil War, why I had to read Roland Barthes eight times instead of Hemmingway, and I reveal the best vocalist in all of extreme music.

In which I take a somewhat dim view of the prose style of noted author Moshin Hamid.

On a very special DEATH // SENTENCE, I talk about Brooke Bolander's 'The Only Harmless Great Thing', but also Instagram, radium, vegetarianism, anarchism, Robin Williams and brain slugs. Music by Slugdge: https://slugdge.bandcamp.com And Devil Master: https://devilmaster.bandcamp.com

In this episode, I discuss what it means to be a Dirtbag in reference to Scott McClanahan's The Sarah Book, and relate the true story of my high school years, when I found myself very much in love with a girl (Noelle), who I wanted to take to an Iron Maiden concert, even though she had a boyfriend, but who ended up taking *me* to an Iron Maiden concert in a heartwarming twist. I also talk about Ramen, porn theatres, atonal music, Chapo, Appalachia, academia and I read poetry like I'm fancy or something.

THE FIRST PODCAST TO BE ENTIRELY ENCODED IN THE CRYPTO-BLOCKCHAIN OF BITCOIN, but is also about sex with dolphins, so there's no reason to not give me all of your money. I'll talk about Alissa Nutting (@alissanutting)'s book Made For Love, but also Large Adult Sons, prose style, why I had to be graded 69, orgies, molly, bitcoin, dank memes, dolphin sex, Aziz Ansari breaking my heart, initial coin offerings... and I issue more terrorist threats!
