on pleasure, prisoners, and permutational poetry

Posted in slappycast by slappy on June 7th, 2007

dear friends,

this week’s Odd Preoccupation starts with a Slappy reminiscence of a particularly pleasurable and introspective shave, followed by a chilled-down version of Sylvia Plath reading her poem Mushrooms. in Part 2, we present a re-remixed excerpt from the book Fourier Series, by Joshua Corey, published by the neo-Oulipean imprint Spineless Books. Part 3 is latest episode of our ongoing radio adventure Moon Over Morocco, and in Part 4 we hear a very topical interview with Sir Arthur Streed-Greebling on the horrors of life as a prisoner of war, followed by a sweet lil’ bit by the master of vocal resonance, Ken Nordine. as usual, the show finishes up with a segue into the Elk Mating Ritual, comprised of minute after long, long minute of absurdist banter between yours truly and the Elkmaster himself.

until next time, keep your powder dry and your wit drier, and try to do a little better, won’t you? just generally?

muchas gracias por favores pequeños,
