#retrosynth #music

Jonathan Fraser returns to The GribCast to share and discuss the music he has released since his last time on the show, plus guest appearances from drummer Elias Jackson and singer Lainey Lavender. Fraser is a musician from Huntington Beach, California, who's output covers several genres, from Post Black Metal, to melancholy acoustic guitar, from noise rock to ambient music, and more. Along the way we listen to solo material, side project The Field Where I Died, and collaborations with papersky, HeklAa, and City of Dawn.

Note: This episode has an explicit rating due to ridiculous song titles and some language.

Join the Gribshnobler and LadyMsGee as he reads her The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, in its entirety (originally for Victober). Though this episode does contain the entire science fiction novel, it does also include background sounds such as chair rocking and cat noises, along with mistakes, comments, jokes, brief tangents, etc..  Think of it like you're sitting in the room with us :)

Note: initial upload had much lower volume and a section of faulty recording. The faulty recording was replaced with a Librivox excerpt and the volume of the episode adjusted. The Episode file  was replaced 05/02 5:25 PM EST. You may want to re-download if you heard it before then.
