So this is "Son of There is No Theme," consider it part 2 of the first Episode, if you like. I couldn't fit all of the songs I wanted to mix up in the first Episode, so assume that I meant to do this and make it a two-episode thing.
If you have any comments or suggestions, here's the place to do it...or you can always follow me on the twitter, I'm @yoshiki89 so go for it.
Without any further ado...show notes! Timestamps are approximate. PLAY LOUD or GO TO WORK (or, stay at work, if you're Justin...or drive around...or whatever).

Prelude/Intro 0:00:00
Don't ask me what the prelude music is...it's a secret with no basis.
MACABRE (USA/IL) "Acid Bath Vampire"
From the 2003 "Murder Metal" CD. It's about John George Haigh. Such great friends of mine from so long ago; but I do a very good impression of Nefarious' bass riff, you should hear it sometime.
MASTER (USA/IL) "Unknown Soldier"
From the 1985/1986 Unreleased Album (the 2003 From Beyond Productions official release). The sound on the very first cassette of this I ever received (from Jim Plotkin) is still the best, but I love the clarity of this and present for your edification, my favorite MASTER song ever. Paul Speckmann is MASTER.
SINDROME (USA/IL) "Rapture in Blood"
From the 1987 "Into The Halls of Exermination" demo (the original mix). An interesting way to round out the opening "Chicago 3," as Chris Mittlebrun of MASTER also played for SINDROME for a while (but not on this recording). Troy and Shaun were among the many great and fantastic Chicago folks we used to see hanging around at every show.
MC
Still here. Top of the 9th, Giants 2-0. Padres need a rally RIGHT NOW.
DOOM (JAPAN) "Killing Field..."
From the 1988 "Killing Field" Mini-LP. One of the greatest and most complicated Japanese metal outfits ever (not sure if you saw what I did there). Koh Morita (RIP, 1963-1999) -who was sometimes known as "Pirarucu"- still blows me away, every time I hear him play.
FONDLECORPSE (NL) "Twice the Hate, Twice the Carnage"
From the 2007 "Blood and Popcorn" Mini-CD. One of two phenomenal releases in a most memorable year for me, personally...the heartfelt homage to a bloody rainbow of metal style represented in this impresses me so very, very much.
SIEGE (USA/MA) "Drop Dead" / "Sad But True" / "Cold War"
From the 1984 "Drop Dead" demo/sessions (the 1994 Relapse Records official release) If you're going to get a tribute to Boston from me, here it is. A band who has always been far too important to forget, even though they really haven't been with us for almost 30 years. I don't count the reunion, without Kevin Mahoney (RIP, 1965-2011) on board, what's the use?
MC
Hint: there's another Boston drop, at the very end of the show...see if you can guess what it is and where it came from. Send your answers to Old Pink, care of the Funny Farm.
JIM JONES AND THE KOOL-ADE KIDS (USA/MI) "Creeping Brown Deth"
From the 1986 "Trust Me" LP. For more reasons than one, another major influence of mine. The interplay of the drums, the tractor-like presence of the bass, and the singed flesh-tone of the guitars bring me to a point of musickal ecstasy that cannot be measured.
SLAUGHTER (CAN) "Disintegrator/Incinerator"
From the 1987 "Strappado" LP. Gods. From Canada. Dives. Third Harmonic Dives.
AUTOPSY (USA/CA) "Twisted Mass of Burnt Decay"
From the 1991 "Mental Funeral" LP. I remember I used to listen to music while at work as the manager of a convenient store, and I also remember doing my best to exercise caution as to what I was playing so I wouldn't freak customers out. I exercised no caution on the day I received this advance tape and listened for the first time.
MC
If you're still listening...thanks a lot!
THERION (SWE) "A Suburb to Hell"
From the 1990 "Of Darkness..." LP. This band has changed a lot, but this album was, to me, their finest hour.
CARNIVORE (USA/NY) "Technophobia"
From the 1987 "Retaliation" LP. A tribute to Peter Steele (RIP 1962-2010), this album was his best work and the bass sound on it, second only to that of REPULSION.
KREATOR (GER) "Riot of Violence"
From the 1987 "Pleasure to Kill" LP. But, of course. What you don't know is that there is a valid connection between Kreator and Macabre, but I don't have the time or the space to explain it.
MC
No luck for the Padres tonight. So, what are you drinking?
CARDIAC ARREST (USA/IL) "Make Them Die Slowly"
From the 2008 "Cadaverous Presence" CD. I dedicated this one to Jim ".50 caliber drummer" Deabenderfer, and to the entire band: Adam, Tom, and Holland. Great guys, and a prime example of how some folks take the pride of Chicago seriously. I love it, love it ALL.
If you like something on the show, please, go buy it (if it's available). If you own something on the show and don't want me to play it, please let me know.
