Something New For My PATREON Members! (aka, the Official Weirdos!)
Introducing: JUKEBOX WEIRDO! Official Weirdos, you've got a new perk — and it's yours alone. (https://weirddarkness.com/official) JUKEBOX WEIRDO is a members-only music feature, and it works just like the name suggests: you punch in the request, you pick who plays it. Send me a topic — anything you'd want a song about — and tell me which act from the Weird Darkness Records roster should perform it. Static Wax? Dark Weirdness? Crossroads Haint? Incorruption,? Monster Flakes? Alena Ingram? You send me the song topic and the artist you want to perform it! It's your call! Here's what makes these special: they never leave the building. Unlike the rest of the Weird Darkness Records catalog (https://weirddarkness.com/music), JUKEBOX WEIRDO tracks won't go to Spotify, Apple Music, iHeart Radio, Pandora, YouTube Music, or anywhere else. They live only behind the Patreon wall, for Official Weirdos only. And the topic doesn't have to come from an episode or a story. Any fun, strange, dark, or downright weird idea that fits the Weird Darkness mold works — that's the whole point. It's YOUR choice! To request a song, if you are a Patreon member (https://weirddarkness.com/official), send me a private message there with two things: your song idea, and the artist you want singing it. The first few tracks are coming straight from my own weirdo brain to get the ball rolling — so watch for posts on Patreon marked "JUKEBOX WEIRDO," followed by the artist and the song title! Then start sending me your song ideas and requests!
