2:52:10 – Dave in Kentucky is joined by Eddie Murray (at 42:13), Chad Bowers (at 1:16:36) and Frank Edward Nora (at 1:51:12) for a Twenty-Questionish discussion that is by turns monological and dialogical. This show is definitely bigger than your average breadbox! Synchronicities abound, including one involving Chuck Mangione’s “Feels So Good” that went unnoticed and unremarked-upon during recording.

Next month’s topics: “Heart on your Sleeve,” “Head up your Ass” & “Tongue in your Cheek”. Record about one, two or all three of these and send audio files or links to DaveKY at mail.com by the deadline: 6pm Central Time on September 10, 2024.

Show art: “The Noordermarkt by Night” (1840) by Petrus van Schendel (1806-1870) depicting “night people” typical of the Overnightscape Underground.

Opening theme: “It’s Central Time Again” (2024) by Dave in Kentucky and Suno.ai (v3.5). Closing theme: “Noise Rebellion” (2024) by Eddie Murray and Suno.ai (v3).

Whychock.pdf

Whychock is a continuation of Thinkfank (thinkfang.com), a book of psychedelic Gen X poetry by me, Frank Edward Nora, host of The Overnightscape podcast, on Onsug Radio (onsug.com). The project began in the early 1990s as Superior, and was a regular feature in my ezine OsoaWeek, starting with the first issue on 7/28/94. Over the course of its run in OsoaWeek till its end on 2/16/03, Superior went through three more phases: Parking, Duskaway, and Hurricaner. A fifth phase, Thinkfang, began on 6/19/04 and lasted till 12/2/07, with the last poem suggesting an addition phase to bring the total number of poems to 1,254 (209×6). This then, that that final phase, which took over seven years to complete. The final poem was finished being written on 7/27/24, making the total length of the project exactly 30 years.

But that’s not all! This year, 2024, I began a process to review the entire work, and remove any text that I felt wasn’t good, to arrive at a new version that would hopefully be much better, on the whole. This new work is called Whychock Revival, and will be released later this year.
