Epidose 38 - The Grim Poteuthis
December 19, 2022 18:52 - 37.6 MBCometh the hour, drinketh the tea. Ceylon succours! Brist to thy mill, my decimo modulo. Undergunned and outperforated, nudibranches sprout multifariously from the Great Orme's latitudinous valve. Press thy lips to the slug's salty slime, scrotfurtler, and dance visceral fandangos where the moominfish fair grint. Listen Now Crank my ever-yodeling gramophone and slurp forth the delightful drips of: Vladimir Djambasov - 33:8 Kevin Dymond & Mark Shafer - Produce Bag Hermanos Guzanos - ...
Epidose 37 - The Clinker's Trumpet
August 13, 2019 09:26 - 38.3 MBTan sandstone blocks, upon which lies like a shroud a vaporous husk, the branch system of a long-dead ivy, blushing dark cobweb of dusky vine. What enormous tonnage, what great weight of crumbling stone. All we lack is longterm thinking; the perspective of aeons. Civilisation as we know it can not be saved, could never in its entire history have ever been saved, as it has never existed in stasis. Listen now. A pair of wax candles in the shape of skulls, one candyfloss pink, the other pa...
Epidose 36 - Weighted Planar Stochastic Lettuce
August 02, 2019 20:11 - 41.1 MBHow furcate is my volley! How splend the strand of string that strays from straggle heath to sponly suedes! As Swayze sways, these rays persuade, he's raised the waves from wasteful ways. A length of clothespipe, flurdled in a codheap. Did your mother mither? Does your mister pass muster? (I blessed a blister-blaster with much bluster.) You can eat an orange, and arrange a lozenge, but a blo-jo from Bo-Jo's a no-no. Listen Now. More scintillatingly schizoid psychedelic skitterings for...
Epidose 35 - Dutch & Charles
June 20, 2019 21:28 - 38.3 MBGnolling cloudless and winsome o'er the hobbledy froom, a snipjack trejury come treacling langwards from netherlandish parts. Hobskoosh onely wonders, the pibbletosh skim skimmety-skim on glasslake ribble. Nabberlack lip-licker frusking out the vanguard as pottle fall dreamylike through wode, long loomy wode, a light as baffleghast as wronglesky, these dabble-dark miff of posk and ratchet. Listen Now. So cram this claggy clamour in thy clammy clam-likes: Jack Planck- The Boy With The Rac...
Epidose 34 - I, Cerambus!
February 23, 2019 23:56 - 36.6 MBJellyfish desperate to save their habitat crammed themselves a hundredfold into the nozzle, but the reactor continued to function. The queen's coronation pie was stuffed to the brim with lamprey, slave blood still dripping from their toothy maws, their gaping buccal funnels. They opened their pineal eyes and wept, as ancient worms transformed the Shepherd into a Beatle. Windswept Johnskale watched from his Cumbrian pile, the deacon's mission long since abandoned, the seas afizz with effluen...
Epidose 33 - Lasagna and Kacey
January 21, 2019 21:35 - 37.4 MBWhen tender frond the turlingdromes, and vestas whiffle from their homes, out in the misty magma moonlight, neeping in the afternoon, bright Lesmerelda flaunts her chubbles, great malinky double-bubbles. What a wald! I wadnae yield to see her famed delights revealed! But hush now son, and graze your kneesden. My poem's done. OH GOD NOT THE BEES-den? Listen Now. What's a year or so between fronds, eh? I trust you'll enjoy the exciting machinations of: Tim Blake - Generator (Laser Beam...
Epidose 32 - The Sputtering Cleft
January 13, 2018 22:57 - 38.2 MBThe ungudly abuminations multiplied twentyfold in mere hours, gnashing their gnarled dentata and puffing out those coarsely bristled cheeks. The growls and grufflings bargled forth long and loudsome, trombonerous and chewbattic rumbunctions resonorating echoey through the corridrobes, surgeries and hauleyways. Listen Now. Lord Brannigan-7 relaxed briefly his pursed inner lips, and gave full chuffed splattering vent to the following liquid residue: Silver Apples - Lovefingers Ed Askew - M...
Epidose 31 - Vagrant Sinner Box
December 07, 2017 21:52 - 38.1 MBAn old woman walking her dog in a field of clover came across a shepherdess looking over her flock of forty-six brown sheep and two dozen lambs. Each sheep wore upon its face a pair of half-moon spectacles and an embarrassed expression (the lambs just wore the glasses.) The old woman asked the shepherdess why her flock looked so bashful. The shepherdess said she'd sheared her share of shameful sheep, and sat down in the shamrock. Listen Now. If you listen to the sounds, the following mer...
Epidose 30 - The Borscht Supremacy
August 09, 2017 11:49 - 37.5 MBWill you face the racing thoughts that swell and swirl around your goldfish bowl, those thoughts that swallow you up whole and wrap themselves around your soul? And did you ever stop to place a guiding gentle hand upon your face and say, be still now child, and stop your foolish self from running wild? Listen Now. In clear water running over sand can be seen the undisturbed reflection of moonlight upon still branches, and the weeping faces of: Kirk Lake - £10,000 Dog Bisk - Drooping Vaen...
Epidose 29 - All Gravy Now
April 19, 2017 11:43 - 39.2 MBA sprinkling of dusty flakes, the dead skin that makes crusts upon the brow and which blizzards away as one's forehead creases in blowzy consternation, fall lightly upon the humpbacked bellypaunch, the curly-haired chest. One is reluctant to move, lest they drift onto the upholstery. Best remain, then, sofa-besnared, until the tender springs of summer push forth their curling tendrils, and the haberdasher's secret love sprouts once more among the soft furnishings. Listen Now. The tapestri...
Epidose 28 - Death To Ming!
March 27, 2017 16:18 - 38.3 MBThere are several really interesting clocks in Berlin. I've never been myself, but horology is an abiding interest. At the intersection of sciences between horology and botany, we find the dandelion clock, which the French call pissenlit. The English name also stems from French, dents de lion; the lion's teeth. Two lions killed and ate 135 Kenyan railway workers, over a nine-month period in 1898. It is posited that they may have been suffering from extremely bad toothache. Listen Now. ...
Epidose 27 - The Underwater Pig
March 06, 2017 10:34 - 37 MBScooping out great fistfuls of hogflesh: argument over who gets the choicest meat; me wants the bellymeat, no no no me wants the headmeat... Delicately flick the pointed tip of one's tongue into the vacant snout to slurp at the cool jelly up there. It is not true that we are three meals away from barbarism; we are there already. Listen Now. Why not instead feast your auricles on these nourishing plats du jour: Linda McCartney - The Light Comes From Within Les Ouaiscécool - Les Cités d'O...
Epidose 26 - Influentia!
January 17, 2017 01:05 - 37.1 MBSo many layers of cryptic meaning envelop this week's Epidose that I feel frankly giddy just imagining the possibility of thinking about it. Listen Now. You are intelligent creatures, at least so I'm given to understand, so you'll have no problem in whittling out the obdurate reality lurking behind these gauzy fairy-sprinkles of discombobulating glamour. Wire - I Am The Fly Richard Thompson - Shaky Nancy Brian Eno & Robert Wyatt - Flies A Life Once Lost - Prepare Yourself For What Is Ab...
Epidose 25 - GCU Yule Thank Me Later
December 25, 2016 22:00 - 37.8 MBLast Christmas, I gave you my heart, but the very next day, you gave it away. Andrew Ridgely's transplant unit hijinks on Boxing Day notwithstanding, we are pleased as plum duff to present this somewhat delayed selection box of seasonally-flavoured musical monstrosities for your consideration: Listen Now. Everyone enjoys Christmas music, don't they? Especially after Christmas Day itself, and really especially late in December, when it's been literally unavoidable for the better part of a mo...
Epidose 24 - Mildred & Patty
December 03, 2016 00:10 - 72.7 MBA year and a day ago, the first Epidose of Esoteric Music Lounge careened forth, lurching and uncontrollable, like a jellied emission coughed quivering from the clot-flecked and mucous lungs of a verminous shoulder-whisperer, its uncertain trajectory revealing little portent of the steamrollering cosmic uberforce it would shortly become. Join us in a double-sized bumper birthday celebration, for a nostalgic look back at some of the choicest, chewiest, and least-most-wince-inducing cuts as se...
Epidose 23 - Flod In The Bunket
November 26, 2016 14:03 - 35.6 MBImagine building an enormous sandwich packed full with all the world's rugs. That would take some serious eating. How big would one's mouth have to be to munch the ultimate rug sandwich? Pretty big mouth, I'm saying. Spreading alternate layers of mayonnaise and mustard upon each rug before lifting the next carefully into place. Listen Now. Not all rugs are equal in size. It would be instructive to order them with the largest at the base. The modern world needs more wonders: behold, the Gre...
Epidose 22 - Ruff Duck
November 16, 2016 18:11 - 36.4 MBA foul wind blew from the west, and deathly silence fell across the land. Winter fell. The ground hardened, crusted over with ice sheets as hard as granite. Our hearts needs must become as the speckled lights of a hundred million tiny candles each kept sheltered and nourished through neverending night. Listen Now. It's Britpop Memorial Day down on Jollity Farm, and the bells ring wide with the mellow tinkling sounds of: Manic Street Preachers - IfWhiteAmericaToldTheTruthForOneDayItsWorldW...
Epidose 21 - Hollentide Revels
October 31, 2016 22:48 - 36.6 MBHoppo, Stadlin, Hellwain, Puckle: Mony's the mickle that macketh th' muckle. Listen Now. Firestone, Malkin, Jinny-the-Green, The crones of the coven work curses unseen, Work hexes of horror to succour your fears, Deathly, the evil they bring to your ears: The Hare And The Moon - The Willows Twink with Steve Peregrine Took - The Coming Of The Other One Balzac - Beyond Evil 308 Fred Myrow, Malcolm Seagrave - Phantasmagoria / Silver Sphere Disco (from Phantasm) The Mellomen - Trick Or...
Epidose 20 - The Happenstance Way
October 26, 2016 17:23 - 40 MBThe mist grows heavy, the cobblestones slicken and black, and treacherous rumours go murmuring along dark alleyways. Lantern candles amber the faces of wanton gargoyles, and polyvinyl curtains slap like sea-leather from cullis windows. Out into this night ventures our hero, sideways-peeking behind from corner-folds, and yet though he does not pass unseen, by the gods he passes unnoticed... Listen Now. Pausing by a dismal doorway just long enough to find shelter from drizzle, he hears the d...
Epidose 19 - Crow, Dog, And Bobby Hogg
October 11, 2016 00:33 - 36.2 MBIt is certainly impossible to think; impossible, really, to do anything at all. Circularity inhabits the wheel, and sheer exhaustion is all that keeps us pushing it forward. Had we only the energy to see it, we might then have the energy to stop. Centuries are dust; civilizations only the marginal scribblings in a disregarded apocrypha, the footnotes to the appendix of a volume of inconsequential trivia. Listen Now. In the abandoned archive, a cobwebbed librarian is trying to make sense ...
Epidose 18 - Jam Bat Sonar
September 29, 2016 00:37 - 38.5 MBThrow open your curlews, gentlefolds, and behold the tremulous chirruping of damsel-pies in dewy-fronded distress. What menacingly trite apparitions come emanating from yonder dismal crenels and merlons? Be it bunyip? Or quinkin? Ebu Gogo? Popobawa? Oh, all of these, all of these crawling slimy things, all the nightmares that lay a clammy flap upon the prickling neck... Listen Now. All throughout the night come the wingtips of a moth to brush against the cheek, and the whispered sound...
Epidose 17 - Boneseeker Beach Barbecue
September 12, 2016 14:37 - 37.2 MBOn the summit skyline, a series of T-shapes in silhouette against thunderclouds. The bearded ones wander freely, unnoticed and undetected. Is it such a terrible thing, this thing they do? Since when has justice not allied herself to persecution? Parking restriction notices are the impenetrable glyphs of the apocalypse. Listen Now. The warden comes a-wombling with his blackbook and pen, whistling the following jaunty melodies: Adrian Baker - Vibrations Gros Phoque Sergio - Fruits Ivor ...
Epidose 16 - Narcissus In Nylons
August 13, 2016 20:50 - 34.8 MBThe scale is wrong: the vanishing points inconsistent. The steps between notes form no tone or half-tone, the perspective is forced or false. Lunging crazily over the skyline, the lunatic figure of a kingkong wraithed in moth-tattered robes, thrusting stubby fingers up, up, towards the imagined chemtrails of poisonous radiation-dipped seagulls. Listen Now. These tendrils of sound will tantalise your earbuds like the ghostly fingers of a beckoning Lorelei: Jo Ann Castle - Tico Tico Captain...
Epidose 15 - A Curse of Pinks
July 08, 2016 01:09 - 37.6 MBA score of tortoise-shells are piled before the prince. Sand and salt spray lift from the waves, whip across the face, form a crust around the eyes and ears. Thunder rolls across the ocean; a watercolour painted in grey. Listen Now. Perform the incrustation, and you'll unleash these mighty molluscs: Harry Cox - What Will Become Of England? Pigeonhed - Who's To Blame? Mavis Staples - I Like The Things About Me Pigface - Fight The Power Yoshihiro Hanno - Prologue Luke Haines - Discomani...
Epidose 14 - Pongo and Engeco
June 30, 2016 15:13 - 34.8 MBBrexit came, and Turner the Worm was sick all over Donald Trump's face. "The conjunction of symbols at the vertex of chance is what the classical scholars called synchronicity." Yijing and yarrow float nebulously overhead and every course plotted seems full of ominous foreboding. Why needs must you tread on the tiger's tail? Listen Now. £0.10 for an audio tape cassette upon which you could engrave these magnetic glyphs: XXYYXX - About You Jacques - Roses For Ashes Howe Gelb - Tanks Rolli...
Epidose 13 - Graded Salience Hypothesis
June 04, 2016 14:08 - 36.5 MBOn the table, a tightly-rolled ball of yarn trails its loose end towards a chipped red china coffee mug. The mug is half-full with milky coffee long-since gone cold, in fact it has been standing several days, and a thick film has developed on the surface. Listen Now. This gate opens onto a formal garden, replete with box hedges, Grecian urns, and the distant sounds of: Monks - Higgle-Dy Piggle-Dy Maxayn - Fun Asa-Chang & Junray - Hana Slapp Happy - Riding Tigers Slapp Happy - Some Ques...
