The third broadcast, which I've titled Flowers & Vines, begins with Rickster Rick signing on with, "Listen to the rustling of green leaves as we peer through the branches into The Dark Forest." Talk about a line to get you hooked! After the opening song by Mediæval Bæbes, Rickster Rick came on to tell us that he would be "beating a path through the branches here today for eighty minutes of solid nutty music." And boy, did he deliver.
I've said this before, but it bears repeating, if I had extraordinary wealth, I would make it my mission to get Rickster Rick on the air every week night for a broadcast of his brilliant series The Dark Forest.

Wow. Hand-written track listing, huh? Those WERE early days. However, I heartily approve in your entitling it "FLOWERS & VINES" and, if I had my own copy, that's what I'd call if from now on. Although, as you know, you are the only person on the planet who has copies of these Dark Forest episodes so you will have to be the sole keeper of them. And they couldn't be in better hands.
ReplyDeleteI have them all and I will forever! I wisely, before Mama Rosie got rid of her desktop PC, uploaded all the albums to my iTunes account so I can listen to them on my iPhone, like the young hipster I pretend to be!
