the heard world: a collection of distorted noises
this show gets very very loud. it features a distorted preacher, a distorted cracklebox, and a distorted dating show manipulation to name a few. there’s some undistorted disappointment around the 18 minute mark too.
Hooting Yard: Some Hotels, A Hollyhock, The Ponds
There are seven hotels. Their names are Crone, Crustacean, Flask, Infection, Miasma, Unbearable and Vagabond. Each is built of cheap and rusty metal and perched on the edge of a precipice. There are seven precipices, over each of which a scientist of note has plunged to a watery death during the past two weeks. In chronological order, those who plummeted were a botanist, a physicist, a phrenologist, an horologist, a laboratory git, a bacteriologist, and an uproariously-moustachioed vivisectionist.
Each had been a paying guest at one of the hotels, though none of them hurtled over the precipice upon which their own hotel teetered. The phrenologist, for example, breakfasted upon porridge in the Hotel Miasma, then threw herself from the pocked and crumbling cliff-face adjacent to the Crone Hotel.
Or was she pushed?

Epistaxis Time: Sonic Portraiture
Under a cloud of financial/general difficulties our host finds himself homeless, so woos us with his ’sonic portrait’ skills that showcase his potential as your personal in-house artist (if you grant him accommodation, that is). A marvellous gem from his music collection follows:
- Sam Jones – Hero
- An enthused reading of a poem entitled ‘Onion’ ends in… yes, you’ve guessed it: tears. Literally, in fact, as our host has an accident of the wet, lukewarm and gold variety.
- Ron, Pamela and Betty in conjunction with the Whetstone Amateur Melodramatic Society – Neighbourhood Watchdogs
- The joy of looking in bins
- Dean – How Do You Make Money?
- How Do You Make Money (instrumental ‘Employee of the Month’ remix)

Harmon e. Phraisyar: The Digital Age
Educational programming for the attention-deficient.
The esteemed Professor L. Ron Breful explores the facets of digital technology for your edification. L. Ron’s discourse is aided by his talking computer and frequently interrupted by his teenage daughter, Margaret.
Musical distractions are provided by L. Ron himself and a whole lotta tourists watching girls bang a gong.
Epistaxis Time: Candy Arse Lover
Following the well-trodden path of saying “hello†on radio and suchlike, attempts are made to orientate the listener as fully as humanly possible. However, the introduction is stripped of all credibility and matter-of-factness, as the dialogue was recorded in anti-realtime from within a phase inverted superelectromagnetic space-chamber which interferes with one’s perception of time.
I have it on good authority that in spite of the embarrassing proclamations herein, his parents are still proud of him; mainly because of the anti-realtime time disruption facilitator thingybob, a difficult thing to build indeed.
Tracks proceed thusly:
- Peter Grudzein – Candy Arse Lover
- Followed by a short acoustical investigation.
- The Jazz Punishment Directive – Dance like a Victim
- Felicity’s Bean – Heavy Metal
- Followed by an amusing anecdote
- Admiral Messyface and his Bumchugging Jizz Quartet – Shropshire Examiner
- A haiku couplet.
- Abu Quitar-Martyr and the Funk Radicals – There She Goes (Fatwa)
Hooting Yard: House of Turps Part 1
The long-awaited first volume in Frank Key’s important 26-part history of the House of Turps. In this introductory work, Key outlines the bilge and the bindweed, the dust and the dribble, the whelk and the drudge. The true founder of the House of Turps is here revealed for the first time, vile and crumpled and stinking of ragwort; not unlike the author himself.
After listening, the author asks you not to hurl your iPod over a precipice.
This story was originally published in 1989 in a limited print-run of 300 copies. For those who like to keep track of these things, a second edition was produced as a special gift for subscribers to the ReR Quarterly. This episode of Hooting Yard was recorded on the 16th of November 2005.
Red Zero Radio: Drumcorps
Waking the redZEROradio podcast from it’s slumber comes the dread metal mentalism of Drumcorps>> > drumcorps
Over in London at the end of March ’06 for a Torment ‘Laserquest’ party in Kingston that evening, we were lucky enough to catch the full Drumcorps set live at the ResonanceFM studios. The party featuring El Kano & DJ Wrongspeed was later closed by police in full flow.
Hooting Yard: Velcro, Dubbin and Crayons
The Tantarabim Carton was recovered from an old potting shed by Dobson, during one of his forays into what he called anarcho-‘patapsychoarchaeolontology. It is a ceremonial carton which was used for unknown purposes during ceremonies prosecuted by the Bleach-Splattered Tantarabim Priesthood. Grim and horrifying these rituals may have been, but not the carton. It is 45 cm. in height, has a jewel-encrusted crimplene base, ivory fluting, ruched silk underbelts, hectic trimmings, a delightful milky-green ribbed spandole, villainous scraping marks, a gutta percha rim, opalescent bison-head motifs, swivelling glutinous beads inlaid with serried gems, fleur-de-lys hatching, precise web-and-tuck dufraiment, talc stipples, a riband nightside opening on the velveteen casing, some rather brusque kaolin relief work, tiny cack-iron clips, berry lagging, a splendid gilt Spode handle, and corky frets on the oversling.
