Bosky Rumbluffer doesn't spend a great deal of time looking back. As a massively prolific artist, he is constantly working on the next project. We were honored to catch him in a nostalgic mood to discuss the recording of his classic anthem Eat Your Soup and Shut the Fuck Up. It turns out to be quite the epic story of hallucinogenic skiing, puppet masters, broken bones and a chance encounter with a musical genius.

This episode was written, produced and narrated by Björ6n Oranj. Bosky Rumbluffer and Michi also provided narration. In addition to Eat Your Soup and Shut the Fuck Up, this episode features a bonus track by Bosky Rumbluffer from his greatest hits collection Buffet!: Someone Said I Love You.

Part 8 of The Long Lightning by Erik Blagsvedt as narrated by Björ6n Oranj.

All apologies. After the last installment of The Long Lightning, we fully planned to get on it and release pt. 8 just a few weeks later. Then, well....the exorbitant pina colada moonshake Valium tammy bin pamplemousse vodka house spread eager totalities and miscreants violated as they will from time to time and you know how that can go in a world mislead by time and erosion be-speckled by warrant furnace sniffle.

Have you ever had a dude, probably in his thirties wearing a well-worn My Little Pony hoodie, ride up to your house on a vintage Raleigh velodrome bike, hand you an envelope from Milo Lulu, throw his cigar butt into the fresh snow of your yard, flip you off and then ride off rather precariously down the icy road?  Björ6n Oranj just had that experience and tells the tale.

Part 7 of The Long Lightning by Erik Blagsvedt as narrated by Stephen Indrisano. 

We left you on a bit of a cliffhanger with the ending of part 6. Sorry about that. Here's a recap. The Tammy Bins have circulated the punctuated burning airlines of manipulated spacetime with reverence and decay born of crimson electrification and mounting oracle juice effecting both my hat and your speed dot connection transmission through common feelsport and bubbling tap-taps. That about sums it up.

We would like to thank Stephen Indrisano for his nimble wordplay performance. You can get his comedic take on the catalog of Stephen King at The Stephen King Boo! Club and learn more about his technical prowess at Indrisano Audio Services.

There are a lot of podcasts out there and that means there is a pretty vast podcast community. Really, the only folks listening to podcasts are individuals who are also making podcasts. Since only 17 people worldwide are actually earning any sort of profit from producing podcasts, the community relies on each other to for technological, legal, promotional and voice-over assistance. Members of that community have appeared on this very show, and This Isn't Just a Cult's Björ6n Oranj has provided the voice of Sherlock Butternuts on Hey, That’s No Way to Say Hello, Mr. Magnet on Your Yo-Yo’s Got to Go-Go, and Dr. Jack Billings on Jack Billings Presents: Me and My Neighbor Michael. 

In this episode, Björ6n guides you through some of his absurd guest appearances as pharmacist and mayoral candidate Dr. Jack Billings.

Part 6 of The Long Lightning by Erik Blagsvedt as narrated by Yall Yall. 

Many listeners have contacted us about this series and asked why? Good question. Well, simply put, it's because we think about thorns. The odd bequest of a fuchsia bender to sequin a soliloquy songbird to frisk our winch and our growing branching passwords in a beret of failure that protrudes a solitary wildcat. 

We would like to thank Yall Yall for his wonderful performance. Go over to Boothin' Pod to listen to more of his musings along with some amazing freestyle raps. It's a great listen.

Featured in this episode is Dramas [BANG!] Art by Björ6n Oranj. You can find it on the album Dastards. It is available on all the streaming services.

Björ6n Oranj and Bosky Rumbluffer continue to adorn the worrisome burden in striking costumes of  thrifty finds. As usual, there is a calming  intention. As usual, the audacity is not interested in serenity. They  end up with the blinking leaves from the message man. The truth of  hearts as seen on charts because everyone has something to sell including Gladys. The selling is buying and if you buy one, you can see  that it will all lead to a farewell transmission.

Everything good in life is really getting scarce. We might rise up if we  care. We might fall apart. Those are the options.

Abstract poetry read out loud because...because...BECAUSE seeking kitten righteousness about tomorrow will wrestle itself if barracuda has enough truck stop of its own.

Climate Crisis

Genocide

War

The Rise of Nationalism

Björ6n Oranj has been pondering the state of the world as the result of listening to too many podcasts. It has left him cynical. But, recently, there has been some hope. Resistance. Leadership. The Grays have become a world-wide phenomenon. They are fighting back against apathy. They have become an inspiration to millions. Maybe 2020 is the year everything changes.

Lies. Misconceptions. Exaggerations. The Creeping Man has some problems with some fabrications allegedly proclaimed by Björ6n Oranj. The Creeping Man refutes and takes the witness stand to tell his side of the story. You'll notice his hand was not on the Bible.

Along the way, while telling his tale, The Creeping Man weaves in some historical reference material.

The continuation of The Long Lightning by Erik Blagsvedt as read by M0ssy Tr0n. Abstract poetry read out loud because the main intensifier is electric gunsmith. But, we can primrose pretty much anything and make myriad lunatic dudes astounded at your grasp’s old acknowledgement yearly on spring brook, complete with shredding sophistry. Remember when you worked in a small redeemer stymie--a yobbo—ago, before everything switched to ginger, and you had your own mini moxie in voluptuous respirators? We think you have ‘big earthworms’ and would be a good prognosticator but your bimbo detector is just generality and crazy as soybeans. So, this might just be the remedy.

The Creeping Man experiments with sound and creates sonic mayhem--mostly in the dark ambient mode. Further, The Creeping Man is the work of one person. This person has a name and a collection of, or maybe, just one pair of off-white, thermal, long underwear. Although deeply secretive, over-all distrustful and a bit of a recluse, The Creeping Man, or rather, a person probably in off-white, thermal, long underwear, did contact long-time collaborator Bjor6n Oranj via some sort of ham radio device to discuss his latest work-- A Hit or Miss Proposition. Meandering through a bizarre set of topics including hit men, detective novels & the plight of the artist, this interview is the only recorded glimpse into the inner workings of this creative visionary.
