Song of the Month: Jon Charles Dwyer, Panthers on the Mountainside

A few weeks back I finally got all the way caught up on the horror podcast Old Gods of Appalachia. While the show can be a little hit and miss at times, I found the recently concluded third season to be by far the best to date.

The last few episodes also had the virtue of featuring a lovely little tune by Jon Charles Dwyer, Panthers on the Mountainside. Apparently written specifically for the show, it appears to only be available on Old Gods’ Bandcamp page, so forgive me if I don’t have the neat little YouTube embed this time, but just follow the link on over and enjoy some nice folk music.

Song of the Month: Monowhales, The Hand That Feeds

I’ve always had a pretty strong dislike of the music of Nine Inch Nails, but lately I’m starting to wonder if it’s just Trent Treznor’s singing I don’t like, as I seem to enjoy covers of their stuff by other singers.

First there was the Johnny Cash version of Hurt, but of course everyone loves that, and it’s quite different from the original. But now we’ve also got this take on The Hand That Feeds by Monowhales, and honestly it’s not that different from the original aside from the fact it’s Sally Shaar singing. And I really like it.
