Wyrd Ways Rock Show CD (that’s 400 in Roman numerals!)

Hello again and welcome to the four hundredth (yes, you did read that correctly!) edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show.
So I’ve done 400 individual podcasts as either Wyrd Ways Rock Show or WWRS: The Forge, so for the milestone I thought I’d return to the original numbering and even the original style – doing it in Roman numerals.
What’s in this edition?  Aside from me ranting on a little bit about…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show 3-06

Welcome to the latest edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show.
As per usual, there’s loads of new stuff, including Scene Queen‘s new one, a track from Dave Ellefson’s new band, Dieth and a track from brand new Nottingham-based band, Alt Blk Era. Obviously that’s not all. Heading for two hours of top class Metal.
Check the tracklisting below for details:
Alt Blk Era – Obsession: Solar

It’s The Easter Holidays!!

I’ve booked a couple of weeks off.  Something I’ve learned over the years is that taking time off needs to mean “time off”.  No work or anything work-related happens when I’ve booked it.  I’ve deliberately left the work laptop in my desk’s top drawer at work (and I hope I’ve accidentally left the memory stick with all my resources on it still plugged into it) and I don’t intend to go anywhere…

Bloody COVID.  I manage three years clear, through the worst of the pandemic without getting so much as a sniffle and then I get it just in time for the holidays (half term, that is).
Anyway.  Here’s what I’m playing in the show:
Scene Queen – Barbie & Ken
Cage Fight – Bitch In The Pit
Five Finger Death Punch – Roll Dem Bones
Miracle Of Sound – Valhalla Calling
Amon Amarth – Put Your Back Into…

End of Therapy?

No.
You’re OK.  I think they’re still going.  In fact from a quick Google, they’ve got a new album coming out in early May.
I’ve just had a run of therapy due to my ongoing campaign against depression and anxiety and yesterday was the last session unless we can get some more funded by my employer.
It’s quite interesting in that all the signs seem to point to me needing to be able to unload to…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show 3-04

Welcome to the much-delayed September edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show.
Why the delay?  Family bereavement.  Nuff said.
Anyway, I’m back and since I already had the tracklisting sorted, I thought I’d record the show I’d already built.  This stuff might not be as new as what I normally serve up, but I still think there’ll be something in there you’ve never heard before.
Here’s the…

Been a while, hasn’t it?

Been a while, hasn’t it?

I’ve not written a blog entry in years.  Literally.  I was checking, and I think the last date was something like 2020.  It’s now nearly 2023, and I had something of an urge to write something.
The question is, why?
The answer is that I’ve really got no idea, but this seems to be a better option than blathering away on Tiktok.
Probably the best thing about doing it this way is that I can think…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show 3-03

This show is running a few days late because it was my birthday on Friday, and I had other things to sort out during the week running up to it. Basically, “life gets in the way”.
Anyway, welcome back to The Wyrd Ways Rock Show – the podcast/radio show that leaves the mistakes and verbal hiccups in and plays you the most awesome music available.
Turn it up and enjoy.
Here’s the playlist:

Wyrd Ways Rock Show 3-02

A slightly longer show this week.  I seem to be getting back into this.  At least for now.  The new stuff is the focus of this generation of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show, so that’s what this week’s edition is all about – new music.  As a bit of an indulgence, though, I am finishing with a classic slice of 80’s cheese.
Mosh buffers to maximum.  Here we go…

Amongst Liars – Reign

Wyrd Ways Rock Show v3-01

Didn’t really know if I was ever going to be typing anything here ever again!
Welcome back to The Wyrd Ways Rock Show.
Taking everything back to basics, the plan is just to play new stuff that excites me and that I like. That’s the long and the short of it – it’s stuff I like. If you like it too, so much the better.
Here’s the playlist:
Kreator – Hate Uber Alles
Wargasm – Fukstar
Architects –…
