  • Jonathan Fraser returns to The GribCast to share and discuss the music he has released since his last time on the show, plus guest appearances from drummer Elias Jackson and singer Lainey Lavender. Fraser is a musician from Huntington Beach, California, who's output covers several genres, from Post Black Metal, to melancholy acoustic guitar, from noise rock to ambient music, and more. Along the way we listen to solo material, side project The Field Where I Died, and collaborations with papersky, HeklAa, and City of Dawn.

    Note: This episode has an explicit rating due to ridiculous song titles and some language.

  • Join the Gribshnobler and LadyMsGee as he reads her The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, in its entirety (originally for Victober). Though this episode does contain the entire science fiction novel, it does also include background sounds such as chair rocking and cat noises, along with mistakes, comments, jokes, brief tangents, etc.. Think of it like you're sitting in the room with us :)

    Note: initial upload had much lower volume and a section of faulty recording. The faulty recording was replaced with a Librivox excerpt and the volume of the episode adjusted. The Episode file was replaced 05/02 5:25 PM EST. You may want to re-download if you heard it before then.

    The Party Garbage LP is a glitched transmission that follows the titular character, OC-666, after returning to their home planet from an undisclosed mission. While grateful to return home to their loved ones, the planet has become ravaged by greed, pollution, and excess, enabled by unsatiated despots and theocrats. Demons thrive in this milieu by selling and encouraging addiction to a drug known as Party Garbage, leading to unregulated mutation amongst the planet’s inhabitants. The lead single, Live Forever, Make it Better finds OC-666 rebounding from the pits of despair filled with hope and armed with a plan to save their imprisoned family inthecity, only to ultimately find themselves inthetrenches of all out war.

  • The Gribshnobler was so excessive with his last music special, that he ended up with another whole episode just for all the music he couldn't fit in last time. Most of the tracks are on the lengthier side and tend to fall into the Ambient, Dark Ambient, and/or Drone categories (including more tracks from Droneuary), but you'll also get to hear some Experimental music, Progressive Rock, Funeral Doom Metal, Field Recording, and an acoustic Alan Parson's Project cover, and more. Bands/Musicians included in this episode: Doors in the Labyrinth, M Is We, Gesara, Rand Kelly, EVQ, ArTe Space, flaub, Trouble Salad, Drown, Body 13, Broken Shoulder, Heavy for the Vintage, litmus0001, 80 lb. Test, and Dreamphonic.

  • LadyMsGee and The Gribshnobler are joined by special guest Professor Gerry Canavan, author of Masters of Science Fiction: Octavia E. Butler. We discuss Parable of the Talents, sequel to dystopian science fiction novel Parable of the Sower, along with Butler's life and work in general. Stick around until the end for some mentions of Margaret Atwood, Ken Liu, Cixin Liu, and Isaac Asimov. We also feature some Butler inspired music from T. C. Costello and Black Quantum Futurism with MMGZ. Books are great.
