Guest Rhonan O’Reilly aka James Tregaskis almost delivers a lecture on hydrogen and Gurdjieff but fate and a temperamental laptop force an anticipated change of direction. Chants of the Native American Church of North America featuring Alfred Armstrong and Ralph Turtle provide a backdrop to some information about Gurdjieff before the laptop sulks into silence. Carlo Gesualdo (1560-1613), Prince of Venosa, was also a composer of Madrigals. In 1590 he had his wife and her paramour murdered. His use of chromatic scale passages was, in those days, unheard of as were the effects he was able to extract from harmonies revolving around a pivotal note. The laptop is coaxed into action and James continues with a recording of Gurdjieff’s music for harmonium and a conversation about macaroni before briefly describing meetings in West London where Gurdjieff and Ouspensky apparently inspire social interaction in the Fourth Way. Who knows.

Free Lab Radio – Egyptian Lover!
An interview with the great electro-Pharaoh West Coast Pioneer. After an hour of his early 80s and 90s releases, we launch into an in-depth interview to discuss the rise of feminism, spirituality of music and the future for Egyptian Empire Records, his own label, reputed to be the first Afro-American record label. Tracks like Freak-a-holic, influenced by Kraftwerk, made Egyptian Lover one of the most notable producers and DJs of his time. Still performing with his 808 and decks, Egyptian Lover visits the UK for a one-off gig. Follow Free Lab Radio’s blog or more regular posts on Facebook

OST 06.11.2004 – DJ Food Sesame Street Special
Soundtracks, library and television music with Jonny Trunk. Something of a curveball for you this week, as rather than bring you the recent DJ Food episode (don’t worry, it’s coming!), the man otherwise known as Mr. Strictly Kev has been kind enough to send us a copy of his original OST appearance way back in 2004. We’re more than delighted to have it, partly because we weren’t terribly good at archiving ourselves back then, but mostly because at the time Kev was knee-deep in a project unearthing long-lost gems from deep within the vaults of the former Children’s Television Workshop. Yes, this week it’s all about Sesame Street and Kev brings us a selection full to bursting with tracks that you simply haven’t heard. The seven-minute performance of ‘Superstition’ is worth it alone, but that’s barely the tip of the iceberg. We’ve given you Sesame Street specials on these podcast pages before, but THIS is the original and the material here is largely unreleased. Indeed Robin The Fog was so excited that he had to sit down for a week…

Hooting Yard: Depressed Horse Never Knew Saucepans.
When faced with such quandaries I have stalked off into the deep dense dark woods of Woohoohoodiwoo and sought the counsel of the Woohoohoodiwoo Woman. That freakish crone is a dab hand in the arts of recovered memory syndrome, and more than once she has brought bubbling to the surface of my cranium material which might otherwise have remained forever obscure and buried. On this occasion, however, my people learned from her people that the Woohoohoodiwoo Woman had gone on her holidays, to some benighted and dilapidated seaside resort, to suck sticks of rock and commune with seagulls in bird-language from the balcony of her seashore chalet. It came as something of a surprise to me to learn that the eldritch hag took holidays, like normal people do, and as I am ill-equipped to deal with surprises of any nature, I took to my bed for forty-eight hours, tossing and turning and whimpering weakly, as illusory phantasms gambolled and frolicked across the ceiling of my boudoir

Panel Borders: Depicting the personal
Continuing our month of shows looking at British comics, we have a pair of interviews about artists who examine their personal life and feelings as a subject for their art. Cartoonist Richy K. Chandler talks to Simone Lia about her new graphic novel, Please God, find me a husband!, which explores Simone’s faith and search for a partner. Critic and writer Columba Quigley talks to fine artist Josephine King about her paintings which combine self portrait with text and references to Renaissance narrative art.
