This Isn't Just a Cult: A Work of Real Fiction

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. Despite the waterfall cranks and distilled eagles we are back with more from the abstract mind of The Blagsvedt.

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.
