The Infinite Kaleidoscope 168 "Cruel Summer"

Thank you for joining me again in another episode of The Infinite Kaleidoscope. As promised, fun links!

The Guardian article, “’The body was the drums, the brain was the synthesizer’: dark wave, the gothic genre lighting up pop”

Black Marble, “Cruel Summer” (Official Video)
The Cure, “Hot, Hot, Hot!” (Official Video)

The music under my voice is new music from the amazing Oakland musician, Chuck Johnson, “Telos”, which you can check out on his bandcamp page.
