Episode 172: Eels, Love & Guns
(Featuring an assortment of novelty records culled from the archive here in the Lava Lamp Lounge.)

As we prepare for the bountiful fun that summer has to offer, these days spent sequestered in the warm comfort of the Lava Lamp Lounge here in Historic St. John’s are a real treat. I often get to dig through things I have yet to hear, and enjoy rare treats that I don’t always get to listen to. Like this fantastic interview conducted by Chris Morris on BBC3 in January 1994 with none other than Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling himself! I know that I don’t need to get into what an amazing and fascinating person the knighted gentleman is, so I’ll merely let the practiced stylings of Mr. Morris guide us through what will be an hour of Prado meanderings, philosophical musings, drunken engagements, and other random shenanigans.

There will also be music, too.

As part of our series exploring novelty records, we tread ground old and new this week, in an hour-long format that’s perfect for keeping you awake during the commute. As long as you remember that everything you know is wrong, and that you are currently living on a more wonderful alternate earth, then there will be no end to the enjoyment you’ll get out of this episode of Blasphuphmus Radio.

See you in seven.
