Steve Cooper

Pop yourself over to The Intercontinental to hear an amazing mix of music from around the world.

This isn’t ‘World Music,’ not some terrible folk music. It’s a vast array of different styles from around the world — hip hop, prog rock, surf rock, whatever — stuff you don’t usually hear just because it’s not in your language. The playlists mention;

• Moroccan hip hop
• North African, international flutes and more Cambodian music
• French Psychedelic
• Ethiopian synths
• Burkina Electric
• Korean psych guitar
• Yugoslavian Mariachi (Meksikanski)

Anyway, it’s a weekly show, about two hours, and it’s available as a feed. Download it, love it.

Dear all,

Can I invite you to listen to a story?

A short while ago, I sold my horror story, No Tomorrows, to Pseudopod. Pseudopod, for those of you who don’t know, is the world’s most popular horror podcast. A podcast, for those of you who don’t know, is an audio magazine dishing up weekly MP3s that you can listen to on your iPod or PC.

Anyway, it went live today, and is narrated by the rather Excellent Alasdair Stuart. It clocks in at about 24 minutes.

There are several ways you can get the story;

• You can listen to the file in your web browser.
• You can download the MP3, and play it on your PC.
• If you have iTunes, you can subscribe to the weekly show.

Anyway, enjoy!

From The Black Oven. How can you not love it?

Where the Chocolate Beats Incessant

As far as I am concerned, brownies are one of the truest manifestations of metal in the scope of baking. Nestled inside their dark, viscous hearts lies a sickening world of decadence. The following recipe is no exception. Try baking them, and consider the fact that the mastery of brownies is parallel to the mastery of the occult.
