Barret Hansen’s Career As Dr. Demento Has Had An Immeasurably Profound Impact On the Lives, Careers, Senses of Humor, and Historical Knowledge of Those of Us Fortunate Enough to Have Had Access to His Airwaves. He is Like Mad Magazine, Your Show of Shows, SNL Important. Thanks for Everything, Doc.

Here's a little heads up/early warning, tomorrow's CSC is a listeners special with @kaptkopter.bsky.social at the helm.

I went to see The Word For World Is Map and I would just like to observe that Ursula K. LeGuin was a gift to humanity in so many ways.

October 1901

Let’s go, doing seven of these pretty ones from the 1950s/60s

Sound on. Bea Brennan + Minced Oath (@dunksunk.bsky.social) teased us with this glimpse of their collab ahead of Bleep43 Inclines at The Bath House tomorrow. Doors open at 4 pm and Bea and Dunk are on at 18:30 to 19:30 in room one, after @clavender.bsky.social and Luke Fraser. bio.site/bleep43

OTD 1965. The television SF anthology series ‘Out of the Unknown’ is shown for the first time. 1. A critical & popular success, the show would run for several seasons on BBC2, creatively adapting the works of many well-known SF authors for the small screen.

Book Cover of the Day:

NEW! from heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com My Little PLAGUE DOCTOR! It's Octoberrific fun!

New work! This is mono printing on tissue paper which is then layered onto board. I love the way you can get clear, unmuddy colours with this technique and there's no limit really! East Coast - mono printing, tissue paper, acrylic 30 x 30cms unframed. #monoprinting

Because of circumstances, most classic Doctor Who was recorded in one go, so every now and then you'll get these funny flubs. Still a pretty smooth save, if you ask me.

No amount of big budget trailers can pique my interest like a poster for this stuff.

Get in the mood for spooky season and darkening nights with The Quatermass Experiment: The Making of TV's First Sci-Fi Classic, an in-depth history bringing Nigel Kneale's seminal lost horror thriller back to life. Order now from tenacrebooks.co.uk

Kitchen Sink, 2001 Andrea Smith

Thanks to Intelexual for (conceptually) introducing me to the Ebony Test Kitchen. I hope that someone has written a combination photo-history and cookbook about this glorious place.

"Amasia: Anamibia Sessions 2" is the next album by @melvingibbs.bsky.social released by @hausumountain.bsky.social on Oct 14. It's excellent and well worth your time. bsky.app/profile/obso...

So typical

Pulse Emitter - Tide Pools reviewed on @pitchfork.com by Daniel Bromfield 🪼 "On Tide Pools he ramps up to the level of his labelmates, both in its progginess and in the way it seems a little more computerized than his earlier works, with MIDI playing a bigger role." 🔗: pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

🎧 “‘Life‘ is a Trammell Starks cover. His version was commissioned for & originally appeared on the Weather Channel’s Local On The 8s broadcasts. The vapor-adjacent world is now being presented this beautiful song yet again, but as a fully realized MIDI cover with breakbeats, guitar & bass”

BARBARELLA - Released this day in 1968 - Japanese release poster

A thoroughly fantastical movie poster for the release of 1968’s “Planet Of The Apes” in The Socialist Republic of Romania.

NEW MUSIC FRIDAY: 'TGAAZ at AZZ' by The Geese at Astra Zeneca Firm shop favourite siblings MALK and Henry (of Mahatma X) return with Dairian Smith on a work blending shoegaze, broken beat, krautrock, electronic, and spiritual jazz. @homeassembly.bsky.social www.normanrecords.com/features/bes...

Britain's upmarket Daimler marque had a staid reputation by the 1950s, so the unveiling of a fibreglass V8 convertible was a surprise. Its 1959 New York Motor Show launch as the Dart was a disaster - Chrysler threatened legal action and it had to be hastily renamed SP250. #weirdcarbs

The Lee Miller show at Tate Britain is a must see exhibition. Beautifully curated and a fascinating account of her life and her photography. https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/lee-miller

ATTENTION CROYDONAUTS! We've had a frankly astonishing email from the archivist at the Committee for Sonic Research. (@tcfsr.bsky.social) Our researchers are looking into it, but if true, it could blow open a whole new chapter in the history of #CroydonSpaceport. Watch this space...

Nicholas Parsons – born this day 1923. In 2000 his CD single Fantasy saw him make the move into electronic dance pop with the help of his Rocky Horror co-star Laurie Brett.

Every single one of the illustrations is a brilliant brooding exercise in evoking dread & doom. I’d never seen his art before I picked up this book, but after an Earl E. Mayan internet odyssey I’m completely smitten
