Epidose 25 - GCU Yule Thank Me Later

Last 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:

Epidose 24 - Mildred & Patty

A 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 served up for your very pleasure over the past three-hundred-sixty-odd days.

Listen Now.

In this Epidose, pay careful attention to the subtle interplay of trapstep, chutney, grindcore and eurotrance influences:

  • The Doonicans - Drunken Pretender
  • Frente! - Horrible
  • Clair Obscur - K. G.
  • Law Holt - Coins For You
  • The Walker Brothers - Shutout
  • Foetus Party - Joyeux Crack
  • Edwin Birdsong - It Ain't No Fun Being A Welfare Recipient
  • Ewan MacColl - Carlton Weaver
  • Dave Burland - Haul Away For Rosie
  • Pisces - Motley Mary Ann
  • Brothomstates - Qtio
  • Mighty Sparrow - Goaty
  • Admiral Fallow - Subbuteo
Twenty minutes, times two. No refunds.
