Darkling Eclectica Playlists

This afternoon at 3:30, the guy who was on the air had been there since noon and asked me if I could take over early. So we had a Darkling Eclectica Pre-Game Show this week!

I was planning to start Howliday Inn, the sequel to Bunnicula, but whatever cold virus it was that insinuated itself amongst my tonsils had other ideas. So a Shattered Remnants Episode and Villa-Lobos's Symphony No.4!
