The lovable rogue aliens are joined by Duke-Lukem who tells us what it’s like to work in the world of film-making, gives us some recommendations on music and brings us back to the days where Darth just popped in to be impressed with the range of toys available via Quinnsworth scanner back in 1982. Darth could not fail to bow to the supreme thespian skills of Lord Maurice Pratt of cheapsuit, bizarre adventures await in this transmission back to Spudarchy.

Celebrity Particle Clumping

The lovable rogue aliens from Spudarchy, Krossie & Groove are visited by another of their kind, Soundmigration from the Northern constellations drops in for a chat about all things from grime flash mobs in religious congress (sounds filthy) to celebrity particles and how difficult switching off the net is. We have the Ambassador from Nefactoria telling us of his exploits with people who appear on Pravda (ARR T E) and we go out into the Groovetown studio gardens for what is referred to in your primitive culture as an ‘outside broadcast.’

This was no. 18 but we don’t that that number in Spudarchy and went straight to the infinitely cooler 19.

This is for everyone – apparently.

Using a zoom recorder – Krossie and Groove go to a sleepy town in Somerset and end up in a chalet with a gang of 7 who dress in the floppy mad hatter hats of the little people.  Our loveable rogue aliens report back from the music & events they go to in a Butlins holiday camp, this festival known as All Tomorrow’s Parties.  They see bands, strange TV, chicken out of an intellectual pissing contest, interview people after a flash mob Mixtape (CD) swap and ask ‘how was it for them’, attend a lecture on Krautrock and mumble to each other  in a banjaxed state in Bristol Airport.  Enjoy this Special Edition as the Suburban Superheroes wake up in the Nightmare before Xmas.

SSH Prog. 16 -> Suburban Superheroes – Space Cinnamon Celb. Juice

The spudarchiz of Krossie & Groove are joined by Flossy in the studio which brings a little Zimmerman and stories about sounds to us. She listens to music through her ears and shows a healthy disrespect for the world of music nerdom of which we know nothing. Discussion ensues about the imminent collapse of this planet (again!) Cinnamon society, daytime TV and the idea of juicing celebrities all come into the mix and as if that wasn’t enough up pecks Chickenman. Join these aliens for another transmission home across Space.

A “listening tour” and a “grassroots, organic, community-based campaign” – wow that hits all my buzz words. This Sean Gallagher man is like some sort of Subcommandante Marcos of post-Celtic Tiger Ireland. He’s getting my vote!

Mono is usually transmitted though saliva and mucus — which is where the “kissing disease” nickname comes from.

“The kissing or close contact that transmits the disease doesn’t happen right before you get sick. The virus that causes mono has a long incubation period” he said.

His comments came as parts of the media began to focus on just how close the American president was getting to local crowds on his visit. With estimates of the number of people he kissed rising from 6 to 18, including two children, with as many as 716 possible patients now being tested.

“Obama kissed me!” shrieked one local resident. “He kissed me on the cheek. I’m not going to wash it and I have a husband but he’s not going near that cheek. He can sleep on the other side of the bed!”
