For a music scene that generated such awesome bands, the Norwegian black metal community sure were a bunch of miscreants. Church burning, stabbing, blast beats, stabbing, the dark circle, and stabbing.

The Great Chicago Fire wasn't the worst fire ever to hit the United States. It wasn't the worst fire in 1871. It wasn't even the worst fire in October of 1871... The second episode in our October of Sorrow features one of the gnarliest fires yet, and maybe even a "darkbar". Human torches, flaming logs, and hell on Earth.

Things got a bit hairy in Salem in 1692... let's just say it wasn't a good time to be feeding urine cakes to dogs and cracking eggs into Venus glasses. Oomancy, divination, possession, the 17th-century legal system, and a dark prophecy...

In the late 1970s, two friends got straight-As in fruit-eating and crystal meth. Luckily for the trajectory of punk rock, they turned their talents to music, gave up their real names for punk alter egos, and began wreaking havoc on stages across Los Angeles. Cast your mind back to a time when The Germs weren't just responsible for a global pandemic...
Leigh's song pick:: Lexicon Devil by The Germs

When the going gets good, Marvel got weird. Forget Iron Man and Thor, it's time for Nightmask and Star Brand! Sorry, you've never heard of them? Maybe sticking to what works is the best way after all. Come take a ride into Jim Shooter's mind as he steered the Marvel ship into some really strange places...
Leigh's song pick:: Tarred and Feathered by Cardiacs

In the time it takes you to read this, the city of Tangshan shook apart in 1976. Peter tells Leigh about one of the most devastating of Earth's ancient disasters, with a truly staggering death toll. Earthquakes, seismology, Richter, and toeing the party line...

It usually takes a disaster to change regulations... case in point British Airtours Flight 28M and the Boeing 737. Ultra-narrow aisles? Armrests that don't raise up? Seats in front of the emergency exits? Yup, this all seems fine. An inferno, design flaws, and Terminator is better than Robocop.
Peter's song pick:: Ohms by Deftones

Nuclear Norm comes back to finish what he started, this time telling us about why some people distrust science, and why they might never change their mind. Petitions, angry fictitious coal miners, reverse-cherry-picking data, and a whole lot of climate denial.

It's all fun and games until Steven Spielberg brings you his precious property to turn into a video game. In the early 1980s, Atari was unstoppable... but the little brown extraterrestrial did his best. A crazy short development time, a waning interest in video games, and the worst game ever made (according to some).
Leigh's song pick:: The Working Hour by Tears for Fears
