A Darker Shade of Pagan is an ongoing weekly podcast and streaming Internet radio show that looks at modern underground music from a spiritual perspective. Cutting a wide swathe through several musical genres, the show takes a look at themes relating to the occult, nature, myth, storytelling, old gods, mischievous spirits, our ancestors, and the nature of sacrifice. The show is hosted by Jason Pitzl-Waters, a DJ for six years at WEFT community radio in Champaign, Illinois and a former music columnist for newWitch magazine. Filled with a desire to find a deeper (and darker) musical tradition for our post-secular age, and a voracious appetite for vital threads of underground and independent music, the final product exists in a liminal state between these two impulses.

TheSkysGoneOut is a regularly updated music blog that presents musings on dark, strange, and unique music. Featuring essays, reviews, interviews, and links. A companion to A Darker Shade of Pagan, but more expansive, and covering more (musical) ground.
