The First Song: Into the Night, Beside the Lake

Along with the rest of the country, we have been a little too successful at our “Counter Esperanto,” and the heaping plates of Double R Diner Turkey Specials have done us in for yet another year. And yet, in our repletion, we have not forgotten you, gentle listener, and so we offer up this holiday song of sorrow and wonder. A somewhat carnivorous canto in three parts:

  • “The Lake” by Edgar Allen Poe, reading by Karl Eckler the Elder.
  • “Nyarlathotep” by H.P. Lovecraft, reading by Jubel Brosseau.
  • “Floating into the Night” by Julee Cruise, as covered by Universal Self Awareness.

The First Episode of the Counter Esperanto Podcast

The Counter Esperanto Podcast: Tangents about Twin Peaks is the work of Karl Eckler and Jubel Brosseau, and represents their first foray into podcasting about their Weird interests.  This is not a recap podcast (there are plenty of those), spoilers abound as Jubel and Karl discuss the Twin Peaks mythos as a whole, generally working backwards from Mark Frost’s new book The Secret History of Twin Peaks.  This first episode discusses the clues that may be present in the typographic layout of the book, the Archivist’s typewriter, the “Race of giants” coverup mystery, Hawk’s puzzling document, and more.  Future episodes will delve further into this beloved world, Weird history, and Weird fiction.
