Batcave Redemption Radio is a Gothic, Industrial, Darkwave, Post-Punk, New Wave, Synthpop Internet radio station anyone can access and listen to by clicking on this link. I am the owner of the station and I maintain the playlist. I control the horizontal and the vertical, and I would like to share my eerie sonic vibrations with you. At Batcave Redemption Radio, "we" focus on radiating the aftermath of the strange experiments and bizarre mutations of the 80's Post-Punk scene in general, and the spooky but soothing dark romantic musings of the Gothic subculture in specific. But as Bela Lugosi's celluloid apparition knows, you can teach an old bat new tricks. So too, away from the prying eyes of a world that consented to listen to dreadful and ghastly melodies masquerading as music, a loosely knit collection of enterprising musicians have set about tweaking the older forms and giving them an invigorating electrical shock to prove to the world that these undead musical genres are not stale and decrepid, but fresh and terrifyingly relevant to a new generation. Batcave Redemption Radio draws its name from the infamous London nightclub for Post-Punk children of the night known as The Batcave, where the Gothic subculture began and spread to an unsuspecting world. The "redemption" in Batcave Redemption Radio, meanwhile, is fivefold;
1. We will resurrect and revive the musical forms of the old-school dark alternative underground to provide a viable alternative to the bland and distorted vibrations sent out by the mass media. We will not consent to reinforcing the dull rhythms of normalcy and the status quo, but will expand your horizons and possibilities beyond what you thought was possible. We will broadcast music of the highest quality that will make you wonder why you ever listened to mainstream radio in the first place. 2. We will broadcast hope and comfort to anyone afflicted by sorrow, pain, grief, loneliness, doubt, and despair. We will prove that hope is not an illusion constructed by those who refuse to face the harsh realities of life, but a living and breathing reality that provides a powerful source of inspiration to weather the storms of existence. 3. We will broadcast spiritually invigorating music to attune and align the soul with ultimate Truth and Reality. We will not consent to reinforcing dehumanizing philosophies that define the purpose of life in terms of transitory pleasures or possessions, but will encourage you to seek something greater. 4. We will labor for the redemption of the oppressed of this world out of bondage by exposing their oppression to the world. We will remain honest about the injustices and harsh realities of this world while shining a candle to light the way to a better world. 5. We will serve the risen Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth, who works for the redemption of a world that groans and labors lost in the dark. We will not consent to reinforcing the complacent attitude of mainstream western Christianity, but will endeavor to model Jesus' radical invitation, challenge, summons, and welcome to the oppressed and the bereaved, the outcast and the sinner, to those who hunger and those who seek.
So, if any of this interests you, the reader, and you would like to tune in to the station, you may do so by clicking on this link. I hope you enjoy listening. If you would like to know the playlist of music broadcast on the station, it may be accessed on the sidebar to the left.
