Tonight’s show pulls no punches—literally. The entire playlist is built around some of the heaviest, loudest, most iconic albums to come out of 1992. It was a year that gave us some absolute monsters, and this setlist is nothing short of a sonic gut punch in the best way possible. We kicked things off with … Read more
It’s Monday. I’m in the studio recording tonight’s Rolling with Scissors — and it just so happens to be Christopher Walken’s birthday. Which somehow feels fitting. There’s something about his strange rhythm, his unpredictability, that matches the emotional shape of this week’s lineup: a little wild, a little eerie, and full of tension and release. … Read more
This week’s Rolling with Scissors comes to you from a brand-new studio space—because, as life tends to do, it threw me a curveball. Last Wednesday, I found out my lease wasn’t being renewed. By Saturday, the new studio was rebuilt and (mostly) functional. Let me repeat that: full teardown, move, and rebuild in three days. … Read more
Sometimes, the show decides itself. Last week, a friend of the program pointed out that since I did all long sets the previous week—because, let’s be honest, it was the week after the pledge drive, and I didn’t feel like talking—I should flip the script and blast a full punk episode. I liked the idea. … Read more

Episode 336 takes us on a journey through haunting storytelling, raw emotion, and dystopian landscapes, blending brand-new releases with concept albums that feel eerily relevant to the chaos of today’s world. We kick things off with a brand-new record from DITZ – Never Exhale, … Read more

I’m settling into the new studio setup, and it’s feeling better with each show. Tonight, we’re featuring Dusk of Grey with the … Read more
Good Monday evening, I’ve been talking for the past couple of weeks about featuring Dusk of Grey on the program, but that’s going to have to be pushed back one more week. I’m sure you’ve all had those weeks where nothing goes as planned—well, last week, the Prince of Darkness had one of those weeks. … Read more
Attention, everyone! We had to make a last-minute change to this week’s episode. Our planned interview with Brian from Dusk of Grey has been rescheduled for next week, so stay tuned for that—it’s going to be a great conversation. But don’t worry, we’ve got something just as exciting lined up for you! We’ll be playing … Read more
I usually keep my opinions on the state of the country to myself—at least on this show—because it’s really all about the music. But since the election, I can’t help but wonder: what would George Carlin and Bill Hicks have to say about where we are now? Tonight, we’re going to explore that question by … Read more
