Another quick-fire report from Blighty thanks to Jim Jupp and Ghost Box Records. Yesterday postie called by with another fantastic package from Jim –
Fellfoul by Mulgrave Audio featuring a score by Jim and Belbury Poly. If you’ve not come across it, Mulgrave Audio is making atmospheric audio dramas that catapult me back to the days when TV drama and public information films in the UK had an undercurrent of ephemeral threat and usually we’re accompanied by incredible music.
This 10″ vinyl includes a page of the accompanying Fellfoul comic strip with art by that absolute legend of UK comics John Ridgway!
“Fellfoul has all the feel of a lost episode of Dramarama or Play for Today, a curiously British affair that is imbued with a sense of teh bizarrely normal.” – Starburst Magazine
If you have any passion for those autumnal, slightly odd folklore driven TV dramas from the 80s and their dreamlike scores you need to get this.
You can order it via the Mulgrave Audio and Ghost Box shops.
In other news, I’m typing this before heading off an a four hour drive down to Stroud where I will be catching up with a Derry & Toms original… Tash is getting hitched!
Will there be another report with wedding photos tomorrow?
I dunno.
I’ll probably get langered though.
In podcast news, the next episode is just around the corner. I’m talking to returning guest Allister Thompson about The Land That Time Forgot… The book by ERB… The film scripted by Moorcock and Cawthorn… Its cinematic sequel and… The Asylum remake starring and directed by C Thomas Howell. And that my friends was a real challenge to get through.
But we did it for you.
Then we’ll reconvene with Miles to try and get past just banging on about all things Doctor Who to properly cover The Coming of the Terraphiles. Maybe.
As the last few months have been generally all over the place with real life events I’m reckoning on things settling a bit for the summer (with any luck) so I’ll be rebuilding the itinerary for the coming second half of 2024. It will soon be time to launch the Halloween poll too, which seems odd as we’ve only just passed the summer solstice.
HA!
Summer my arse. The weather here in the North of England has been fucking bollocks. But the sun has come out today for Tash, so that’s a good omen.
Anyway, I’d better get driving so take care out there. When I get back, the second John Ridgway page that includes a download code for Fellfoul will be headed out to a Patron Demon…
Until we meet again… On the Moonbeam roads.
