Murder On Moth Mountain!

Blevin Blectum, Lesser, and The Royal Oakland Gramophone Company joined together to bring you an all expenses paid, luxury 2 hour vacation at the scenic, s&S alpine hideaway.

“But there is no murder, no moths, no mountain”, you say!?

Ha! Well, there you go. WMOF – Moth Mountain Radio simply serves our little escapist community with words, noise and music. Considering the rule that closets remain wide open…I’d say, “Yeah, there are plenty of freakin moths about!”

Ub Radio – Re-LAX

LIVE from the s&S studios (and the hallways in between)

Unless you have suspension bridge cable for a spine, these 3 hours uniformly left little relaxed molasses pools where loyal radio listeners once sat. There were quite a handful of relaxation coaches here in the catacombs – from whose collective fingertips flowed wavey, purple, hypnotic sine tones. Among this edition’s in-house alpha state lineup:

ninah pixie, bLevin bLectum, j Lesser, Dina Emerson, Jonathan Segel, dAS uB-kat, Jesse Burson, Rob Wortman, Cheryl E. Leonard.

Blevin Blectum – guest DJ set (remote link)

Blevin Blectum guest DJ set (remote)

this was part of a series of live-link experiments – wherein the Bleakhouse studio would send a live stream direct to the S&S studio, run through the board, then get relayed in real time out to you. Unfortunately, there were several connection glitches that had me covering most of the time – and I consequenty failed to document most of this set of Bevin’s selections :(

BUT……While she was remotely playing her favorite tracks for us, an unrelated birthday party was also occuring here in the catacombs as well – featuring drunk jazz guys, drunk jazz gals, and lots of ping pong. Luckily, I’d hidden a pair of binaural microphones in a house-plant beforehand, so we were able to open up a little voyeuristic party-sound window from time to time. Trust you enjoyed the best of 3 worlds, one and a half, or whatever

consider this your weak little consolation prize for my ineptitude.
