Epidose 15 - A Curse of Pinks

A 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.

Perform the incrustation, and you'll unleash these mighty molluscs:

Epidose 14 - Pongo and Engeco

Brexit 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?

Epidose 13 - Graded Salience Hypothesis

On 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:

Epidose 12 - A Song upon Alamoth

The cylinders spin, the gears mesh, and various degrees of parity drift in and out of phase like those sudden infinities born of mirrors in alignment. A persistent illness; one neither recovers nor dies. I fell asleep in the afternoon amidst gorse bushes' full flower.

Listen Now.

Pay attention to this list of magnetic dots which will cause the disparate vibrations:

• The Magickal Folk Of The Faraway Tree - Spencer
• Nobukazu Takemura - Ivory Tower

Epidose 11 - Blast Zone Nyah!

Twice two is four, twice four is eight, twice cream is forty -- double top! My leg fell down a hole the other day before, but it was alright, because I broke it on a gerbil.  To conclude: there are uncomfortably too many different kinds of rodent in the world.

Listen Now.

In this Epidose, your senses will be lovingly enturbulated by the following rodents:

• Zoltán Kodály - Introitus (from Missa Brevis)

Epidose 10 - This May Well Involve Your Monkey

I am undecided as to the colouration of my sofa. You might say it is the colour of English mustard, but you would never call it yellow. Neither do orange, brown, gold or green seem to fit. It is too vibrant to go by ochre, yet too muted as to appear bronze. Truly the world is a vexsome and irkative place!

Listen Now.

In this Epidose, you'll hear the following entertwinements:

• The Fall - Neighbourhood of Infinity
• Barclay James Harvest - Ball And Chain
• The Bags - She's Beautiful
• Helga Pogatschar - Mars

• The Olivia Tremor Control - No Growing (Exegesis)

Epidose 9 - Prophet Motif

Hello again, you scrotty furtlers! Nam Rood liveth on in all our hearts, not to mention sheds, with grubby tips all still a-dangle from his inky forehead. But that's another tin of fetid maggots, to be saved for another dinner...

Listen Now.

We begin this time with two of the all-time most regrettable band name choices in recorded history:

• Kissing The Pink - Mr. Blunt
• Foetus Party - Joyeux Crack
• Master Scratch Band - Pocket
• Typhoon Tosh - Trespassing Satellite
• The Narcoleptics - High Over Glenelg
• Ewan MacColl & Peggy Seeger - Calton Weaver
• Withered Hand - Heart Heart
