Freedom Feens radio show, archives (2011-2018‪)‬ BipTunia

Final cut of song from upcoming BipTunia album 91, “Skipping Off the Atmosphere.”

Cave chanting by Sir Michael Higgins and a bipedal ape with a bad hip. Manipulated by MWD.

Higgy, as those of us who new and loved him called him, has passed, sadly. So this song can serve as a happy requiem for him, even though I never met him.

So, this is a sort of happy Gregorian chant requiem for a dead friend of a friend.

All other music and production, Michael W. Dean.

“Tardigrades” in the title because they can be found in caves, among other wet places.

I recently bought some and took some microscope video of them, then released them into the stream in back of our farm. They are helpful, not harmful. More microscope video I shot of one here.

They were 20 dollars for only a few, so I figure they must be Artisanal Tardigrades. lol.

ABOUT THE ALBUM COVER

“Gross Pathology of Normal Brain vs Brain of Patient Treated With Methylene Blue Before Death”, medical photo by Mikael Häggström, M.D. Image is public domain. Is half of this image on Wikipedia (whole image has whole brain, not just slices).

This photo is the album cover because it speaks to me. I saw it and was fascinated by it.

I didn’t use it for the gross-out factor, I don’t find it gross. I don’t like it when bands use gross or shocking imagery. I love the B******e Surfers but didn’t like when I saw them live and they were showing graphic images of eyeball surgery on a big screen behind them. That seemed like shock for its own sake.

This blue brain and sliced blue brain medical photo isn’t shocking to me. It just speaks to me of what is the mind vs what is the brain, and what are we? Are we this little 3-pound universe that doesn’t look much different than our intestines, but is a powerful supercomputer made from the result of digesting food.

Is that us?
