Slappy Pinchbottom's Odd Preoccupation: more shows!

Slappy Pinchbottom keeps putting out new radio programmes, and I keep forgetting to mention them here. A recent episode was called "Drug Magic," and here's the description:

this week, scattered throughout the show, we feature several excerpts of a neocyberpsychedelimagickal rant by one of my favorite comic book writers, Grant Morrison, taken from conference thrown by the fine folks at Disinfo way back in 2000 — i mean in history, Patty, before they changed the water.

Part 1 also features a track called Tasmanian Pain Coaster, by pioneering indie hip hop artist El-P, formerly of Company Flow (thanks to Comfort Radio for that track.) we wrap up part 1 with a talk given by Mark Pesce at the Mindstates conference....

Part 2 begins with mr. morrison’s brief guide to creating magic sigils. we then move swiftly to an exploration by example of a number of regional American accents, followed by more morrison, and we wrap up this segment with episode 5 of our weekly adventure series, Moon Over Morocco.

Part 3 this week features the ever-sprightly medroxy progesterone acetate, followed by a bit by yet ANOTHER psychedelic guru, Terence McKenna, this time talking about Jihad and the future of humanity. we finish up with a heartwarming chat between father and son, which begins with the son pummelling the father into sexual receptivity. (note: that may just be my interpretation.)

As if that's not enough, another recent episode, entitled "All Slappy All The Time," focuses a laser eye on the mythos of the singularity (among other things):

part 1 this week features a slappyrant about the impending Singularity, and whether Google can save us from nuclear holocaust. we then present a dialogue between two ghosts in the machine, ghosts named Alice and Jabberwacky. in part 2 we chat a bit about Ray Kurzweil, and then delve into a braided collage of short pieces designed as a vehicle to facilitate swift passage to the hypnagogic realms. part 3 consists of a description of a number of highlights from the game of Blank White Cards, which is interrupted by a special news briefing and farewell address from the President, who resigned during the course of this episode of Slappy Pinchbottom’s Odd Preoccupation. (i’m not saying the two phenomena are related, though they ARE.) part 4 rounds up the show with the usual painfully droll interstitial banter between the Odd Preoccupation and the Elk Mating Ritual.

What the hell are you waiting for?
