About MIND OF MARLAR: Twisted True Crime, Paranormal Weirdness, and Horror-ible Humor!
Every song tells a story — and every song from Weird Darkness Records (https://weirddarkness.com/music) was born from one. Minor Notes: Where Tales Become Tracks pulls back the curtain on the music of Weird Darkness, pairing each track with the paranormal event, true crime case, dark history chapter, or vintage radio drama that inspired it. Hosted by Darren Marlar, Minor Notes sits at the crossroads of storytelling and songwriting — the tale comes first, then the track that remembers it. Songs and stories. Grooves and ghosts. Welcome to the record collection at the end of the dark.
#MinorNotes | "The Monster Wanted Cocoa" by Static Wax — based on a #RetroRadio Story
A 1962-style monster mash novelty single with a Bloomsbury detective, every monster in the catalogue, and a mad scientist who'd rather be selling vegetables — proof that even Static Wax knows how to grin. Stick around to the end for a little something extra.

“The Dolls Will Have Them All” by Static Wax | Based On a Retro Radio Story
A circus march dressed in red velvet and brass, sung by a barker who is selling something far worse than dolls — and a chorus of tiny voices that know exactly what he means.
