All I See Is Black (#025)

[ZS]

It lives! Once again, my apologies for the delay. Looks like these compilations will be hitting the web with less frequency moving forward, but I'm definitely not ready to drop the blog altogether. What can I say? I'm a busy guy, and although I have a lot of fun putting these things together, I unfortunately can't place them high on my list of priorities. Frankly, even if I didn't have about five thousand other things going on, trying to keep these coming out at the weekly rate that I used to and still managing to keep the content fresh would be difficult. Anyway, edition number twenty-five is a scorcher. Nineteen tracks and a gradual slide from loud, angry, and dark at the opening of the hour to decidedly lighter fare at the close. Dig in.
