E06 - My Fictional Universe - Side A

E10 - Super Twist Ending

It’s hard to make 10 episodes without turning it into work. It’s hard to be honest, especially by yourself. It’s hard to stay full when everything, every second wants a piece. It’s hard to be creative and organized. It’s hard to be creative, period. It’s hard to be organized, period. It’s hard to feel peace in the city, period. It’s hard to make music when the planet is screaming. It’s hard to be angry and constructive. It’s hard to maintain sanity these days. Ain’t it? Musical guests include Panthera 95, Wes S Ables, and The Modules. Produced and Distributed by Raptor Smoke Records.

E09 - The Maiden Voyage

“Sustainability” isn’t quite the buzzword it was last year, survival is more relevant. In this episode a quarantined Slapstick Machete acknowledges the pain of this cosmic moment. He has always theorized about the end times, but it’s still scary to live through the apocalypse. Momentary relief is found in creation, improvisation, exploration, loops, nostalgia, silliness, and substance abuse - but how long is this sustainable? The water is starting to boil. Musical highlights include the song, "Pop Rock" by Public Spreads the News, and jamz from the farm

E08 - Shadows on The Wall

Slapstick takes a deep dive into philosophy this week. Put your thinking shoes on, we’re taking a trip out of the cave. Spontaneous Combustion. Organic Material Destroyed. Shredded horror. Crystalized stale sorrow. Clear a path. Open a portal. Fix your hair for the apocalypse. Still a better love story than putting on your shoes to sit completely still and die a slow, painful death. Stephen Byard musical accompanist from E01 (!) makes a triumphant return for the entirety of the episode, improvising music to Slapstick’s improvised poetry. Stop thinking start jamming. Produced and Distributed by Raptor Smoke Records.

E07 - My Fictional Universe - Side B

Side B - A long loved tradition of analog formats, generally reserved for the deep cuts. B sides typically begin with, “us” the listener already immersed in the story and mood of the piece. Slapstick while usually one to break with tradition, does not here. I hope you’re taking notes because this week we go even deeper into the story of Bystander, 4th dimension exploration and ultimately the fate of our cosmos. Put on your new skin and become a 24th century archeologist. Musical cuts by Panthera 95. Produced and Distributed by Raptor Smoke Records.

E06 - My Fictional Universe - Side A

In this monolithic episode Slapstick brings us deep into his world, the world inside his head, the world he discovered with his time machine. His sci-fi trilogy, "Dust in The Abyss" begins to be uncovered. Bystander explains the 11th Floor Ward and Jesiah explains Bystander, the thin line between reality and fantasy is tiptoed across. Other highlights include a conversation with friends about Slapstick’s tape recording techniques, the Cosmic Highway Interlude pt. 1, 2, and 3, a portion of a poem by Álvaro de Campos, and the Parable of the Car-Salesman.
