March 26 The Quiet of the Night
This episode is dedicated to the night time, when we lay in bed at night and find ourselves contemplating who else is awake, who works through the night, what animals traverse through the cities, woodlands and oceans under the night sky and who's bangin' who? We count a herd of suicidal sheep, an axe murderer who loves late night jazz and a sun god fighting for the dawn.
