something in the weeds….is waiting….for you

by slappy on October 18th, 2007

dear friends,

we’re pleased as pineal gland punch to present a most unique episode of the Odd Preoccupation this week — it’s a full-length, hour-long, somewhat unwitting (on their end, unless they’ve been pulling my puppet strings from the beginning without my knowledge, which would be just like them) collaboration with our esteemed colleagues at cryptonarrative.com, and their audio subversion outlet, Medroxy Progesterone Acetate.

with a respectful bow and a sniggering wink toward the impending hallowday, our episode this week features the grim, grinning, and gruesome recounting of certain events in the small town of devlin, texas (or is it devlin, iowa?) the invisible hearse cruises for the hum goddess; the butcher surgeons are making another of their incompetent attempts at resurrecting flesh that was never alive; a missing child tells the tale, and learns a thing or two along the way. come join us, won’t you?

(all texts in this episode by D Bauler. all musics in this episode by MPA, except vamp track at the beginning, which was by the Peace Orchestra. arranged and performed by SP for the benefit of his OP.)

the MakerFaire comes to Austin

by slappy on October 11th, 2007

dear friends,

this week we devote our entire show to an interview with Dale Dougherty, founder and publisher of MAKE magazine, Sherry Huss, director of the MakerFaire, and Vern Graner, of Austin’s The Robot Group. the resurgence of DIY culture, the roots of MAKE, the various attractions of this year’s MakerFaire, and the Peanut Butter Monster Detector all get their day in the sun. join us, won’t you?

on the make but never made,

slappy p
