the station logo. An old fashioned microphone overlaid with an ancient goblet. The text reads: Radio Astercote goes out on that hidden frequency, between the tick and the tock - where it's always nearly rteatime, and all you have is your transistor and the dark.

On the aether at KP Radio once each week:

  • PST - Sunday 10am
  • GMT - Sunday 6pm

and afterwards, in perpetuity, on the website

This week: celebrate the summer’s end with a drop of acid communism: lysergic lullabies, lazy sundays, and long shadows from the sixties and seventies. Naptime. Things are because they are wonderful

Plus readings from Mark Fisher’s unfinished Acid Communism

My first radio program is up, & I couldn't be more excited. And relieved, in the way of all such things: to have it out of my hands and in the world.



This one is about ceremonial magic an hour of talk, followed by an hour of music programming.



I daydream about Radio Astercote. I imagine that it is waiting for me, within the wire, something which connects me to other listners unseen, and that presence is comforting. The recordings are workings of will to bring it into reality, like archeologists' fragmentfinds which say yes - in a time and place, this was (and will be).



You can tune in to Radio Astercote here. Unavoidably, they won't be available in future, because this is the way of all things: please archive and distribute these recordings, as this is fragile media.



If you would like to listen to music programming, you can look at the current station playlist

Three hours of pagan, socialist and traditional folk, for food, funeral and the great tiredness of the earth.

Today I am listening to Wintersongs by Plinth, a jangling cold and yet also cosy ambient album that sounds like fresh-fallen snow and childhood.

I've assembled an easy-accessible playlist of some of the best spoken-word meditation tracks I've found in my journeys so far. These are, hands down, some of my best discoveries during my Reading and the sorts of non-pagan-yet-deeply-pagan beauty I want to bring into the community as essential, sacred texts. They are the sounds of this sort of thing.



It should be stressed that you take these one at a time, and they are not background music, but for using in some way as a focus or meditative tool. Additionally, youtube sonic quality sucks - I've added links to where you can buy uncompressed versions of the albums for ones you especially like, because headphone music or a real turntable is a blessing for this kind of "lose yourself in sonic strangeness" practice.

Semi-regular music recommendation post: I couldn't be more obsessed with *The Garden of Jane Delawney* by Trees right now. It's that kind of haunted folk you dream of, but oh so rarely find. And the rest of the album's not bad either.

Incredible, unsettling little song by a hawthorn tree fearing the ax.
