Es klebt an deiner stirn?

Translation: for half a decade now we've been talking your neuroses off i.e. whisking you away by means of delicate tunes and absurdist monologues. That being said —it’s our 5 year anniversary!! We can’t believe it either. And, with 3k subscribers to the program, we just don’t know how to ikˈspres our nevər endiNG ˈɡradəˌto͞od. 

We hope you'll celebrate right alongside us as we reminisce on breakfast habits, flutter into the abyss, and of course we’ll conduct a multitude of literary recitations from deep within our archive. Stay until the very end for music by Zdenek Liska, Usha Mangeshkar, Dirty Projectors, Les Baxter, and other solemnly omnipresent composers.

If identifying non-follicular organisms (i.e. exanthematous), Jean Genet’s burial site, shit jobs, and a box of wigs sounds like the evening you’ve been dreaming of —we’re excited you've chosen to situate yourself right alongside us. 

Our episode departs from a collection of some unusual words from our archive, then moves on to the work of Hungarian filmmaker Márta Mészáros; with a focus on her feelings on the film industry, and her lonely masterpiece from 1975,  ‘ADOPTION’.  I took it in, twice in one day (like how I used to watch Tarkovsky in the 90’s). Only very recently was Mészáros’ work recognized, especially being shot during an era of rising conservatism in Europe…although Márta was in fact friends with Fassbinder. 

We also read from one of our favorite trembling FICTIONAL WORKS, OUR LADY OF THE FLOWERS, BY Jean Genet, and of course we confess to other unmentionable habits and theories. 

Stay until the very end for tracks by by Olen Puhunut, Elori Saxl, Kleenex/Liliput, Einsturzende Neubauten, Damon, Vaclav Neckar, Front 242, Radiohead (a few of our can’t-live-without-tracks), as well as Asha Bhosle, Henry Cow, Cocteau Twins, Bjork, Eva Pilarova, Space Cats, and other favorite from our archive.

Mészáros, Genet & Other Sudden Fevers - A New Years Eve Special

If identifying non-follicular organisms (i.e. exanthematous), Jean Genet’s burial site, shit jobs, and a box of wigs sounds like the evening you’ve been dreaming of —we’re excited you've chosen to situate yourself right alongside us. 

Our episode departs from a collection of some unusual words from our archive, then moves on to the work of Hungarian filmmaker Márta Mészáros; with a focus on her feelings on the film industry, and her lonely masterpiece from 1975,  ‘ADOPTION’.  I took it in, twice in one day (like how I used to watch Tarkovsky in the 90’s). Only very recently was Mészáros’ work recognized, especially being shot during an era of rising conservatism in Europe…although Márta was in fact friends with Fassbinder. 

We also read from one of our favorite trembling FICTIONAL WORKS, OUR LADY OF THE FLOWERS, BY Jean Genet, and of course we confess to other unmentionable habits and theories. 

Stay until the very end for tracks by by Olen Puhunut, Elori Saxl, Kleenex/Liliput, Einsturzende Neubauten, Damon, Vaclav Neckar, Front 242, Radiohead (a few of our can’t-live-without-tracks), as well as Asha Bhosle, Henry Cow, Cocteau Twins, Bjork, Eva Pilarova, Space Cats, and other favorite from our archive.

We wish you the very best, whether you'll be slithering at a balanced pace or sailing off to new horizons —be well in your endeavors, and don’t eat any stale juniper berries.

is the wind lonely? and on the seventh day petals fell in petaluma.

Our latest episode also explores Lyall Watson’s essential nonfiction release, Heaven’s Breath: A Natural History of the Wind -with a focus on Chapter 8 ‘The Perception of the Wind’, which we love particularly because of Watson’s playful method of examining the linguistic roots of a whirlwind/vapour/breath et alia.

Our new episode also touches on the process of collaboration with one very menacing habit -procrastination.If there’s anything we can take away from the unfortunate happenings in the world around us, it’s that we must not surrender to the power hungry narcissists who desperately try and rule the tides. It’s our job to save the world. And it all starts with conquering procrastination.

We conduct readings on the Song Sparrow, a book from 1932 by Margaret Morse Nice -perhaps theirs is the wisdom we should be paying more attention to. The usual smorgasbord of music is provided at the end to soothe all of your sorrows.

Also included: Confessions at the ATM; being harassed by an older man for wearing a mask, and Mom thinks the virus was planned. I can't stop envisioning X-mas tree lots in November, where Santa Claus is wearing a mask, holy hell. The best way to deal with trauma and change is to add a new ritual to your day. An example exercise is provided: you can imagine what that might be.
