Daniel Krause — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:00:43 +0000

Like many people the host of this show celebrates a personal annual event commemorating his birth. Actually that’s not quite true – the host of this show is neurotic to the extreme about it and normally keeps it a secret. But he’s having a nice week and is feeling expansive. So here is a rare look into Daniel K’s life, through the passive-aggressive medium of songs written by people who never met him.

Hello, you may remember me as the host of Dark Meat, Music for Depressives.

Daniel Krause — Fri, 13 Dec 2013 17:00:04 +0000

Today’s show is words, words words, full of sound and fury and for the most part signifying nothing. I rely too much on lyrics for my enjoyment. Anyway, if you have friends from other lands who would like to get into the Dark Meat scene (note: there is none) this is the show to play for them.
