Important!
I bring you an important message from Ed Baxter, benign dictator of Resonance104.4fm, the home for the past eight years of the world’s most Hooting Yardist radio programme, Hooting Yard On The Air. Says Dr Baxter:
Resonance 104.4fm’s annual on-air fund raiser runs all this week till midnight on Sunday the 19th of February. If you love Resonance104.4fm and the broadcasts made by our astonishing array of presenters, please support us via a donation, pledge, bequest, gift or purchase from our shop. The alternative – for the station to take regular on-air advertising – is something we’d all prefer not to contemplate. But as it approaches its tenth anniversary Resonance urgently need funds to continue its work. Visit resonancefm.com to make a donation of any size. PLUS as usual we’re having an auction of unique and wondrous items, with contributions from David Shrigley, Bob & Roberta Smith, Glen Baxter and much more (rare records, wine, services, etc) – the list will grow as the week progresses.
Visit resonancefm.com/auction-2012 and make a bid by emailing auction@resonancefm.com.
Or why not simply phone us with a pledge on 020 7407 1210?
Many thanks.
The Hooting Yard Christmas Special
A complete recording of An Evening Of Lugubrious Music & Lopsided Prose, featuring Mr Key and Outa_Spaceman and Pansy Cradledew, is now available as a podcast from ResonanceFM. Might I suggest that, on Christmas Day, you gather the family around the fireside and listen, rapt and awestruck?
A Lopsided And Lugubrious Christmas
On Thursday next, 22nd December at 6.00 PM, ResonanceFM will be broadcasting the Hooting Yard Christmas Special – an hour-long (slightly edited) recording of last month’s Evening Of Lopsided Prose And Lugubrious Music at Woolfson & Tay in Bermondsey Square. Those of you who were there will be able to relive those golden moments, and those who were unable to attend can hear what you missed, and gnash your teeth, and rend your garments in despair, after which you may want to cheer yourselves up a little by sending Mr Key his Christmas money, via PayPal.
A podcast of the complete, unedited recording will be available shortly after the broadcast, and I will of course post a link to it here.

Obsequies For Lars Talc, Struck By Lightning
This is the cover of Obsequies For Lars Talc, Struck By Lightning. It was published in an edition of twenty-five copies in 1994, under the Hooting Yard Press imprint and – save for a brief, rewritten, extract posted here some years ago – has never again seen the light of day. It was the last piece of prose I completed before my descent into the maelstrom, or the Wilderness Years, or whatever one wants to call that period of ruination from which I eventually emerged with the launch of the Hooting Yard website in 2003.
I am planning to republish Obsequies, with the original text unaltered, as the second volume in the Out Of Print Pamphlets Reprinted series, later this year. Meanwhile, I have decided to read the whole thing on the radio, starting with this evening’s episode of Hooting Yard On The Air on Resonance104.4FM, continuing next week, and possibly the week after. (I’m not sure how long it will take.)
Turn on, tune in, pin back your ears, and listen.
