Epidose 20 - The Happenstance Way

The 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 drifting sounds of:
  • The Ilk - Powerplant
  • Kid Spatula - Shakermaker
  • Maxïmo Park - Limassol
  • Monitor - Amphibious
  • The Kites - Bike Ride Pt. III
  • Kimio Eto - Sakura, Sakura
Be vigilant! Whispered words may yet be dropped from eaves, treacherous rumours snagged upon concealed skyhooks.  Send your learnings to gcuesoterica@gmail.com for further analysis.

Epidose 19 - Crow, Dog, And Bobby Hogg

It 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 of the following messages:
  • Negativland - Time Zones
  • White Noise - Love Without Sound
  • Circus Devils - Yellow Cloud
  • Kiyoshi Kobayashi & The Gypsy Swing Gang - Sous Le Ciel De Tamagawa
  • S*** And Shine - Seeing Life Through A Young Man's Eyes
  • Law Holt - Coins For You
  • Timber Timbre - Creep On Creepin' On
Troubled by unconvincing illusions of thought?  Send those vacillating empty ghosts of consciousness to gcuesoterica@gmail.com wherein they will be fittingly exorcised.
