A BLITA Xmas(?) Special!

Did anyone really think that the second longest psychedelic podcast in the world would really leave you hanging for the holidaze season!?!?!? C'mon, you know we're more obsessive than that!!!







If it wasn't for holiday seasons like this we wouldn't have much excuse to put together amazing shows like this one, there's plenty for all here just come on inside. . .


Jan Irvin Stops By. . .



Gnostic Media's own, Jan Irvin, comes into the Attic for a bit to talk about the shamanic origins of Christmas, and gives some mycological advice as well! Then, we are all blessed with an extended-length 2-zillion-year-old Hippie episode!!! Many of our favorite podcast hosts stopped in, big ups to KMO, Queerninja, and Max Freakout! Synthia reveals some of her, um, deeper intentions. And Sancho shows up just in time for nitrous giggles and warm socks!!! Don't worry if you missed it before Christmas night, this show is funny at least up 'til New Year's Eve!!!

"Ask Him your magnificent questions. . ."

Xmas Notes Soon! Until Then. . .

Let me leave you with MY holiday moment of zen. . .

Several Mysteries Compound To Make A Mid-Day Sandwich

And you must ask yourself, "Am I afraid of the UFO any more?"

If they loomed above my roof would I tremble like a primate, on my living room floor?

I am ready for contact.

Two devils parted thee-- one dunce, the other mystery.

Inside shells of selves I've found outer connections vibrating frequently on most horizons. Past tense is never a verb. Chart new waters. Enliven the sea.

We have cast long shadows, so that dogs won't even walk where we've been. Oh how so long until dawn's break, we have rations for a meal or two. Birds chirp sunrays through the soul of my heart, giving breath to each moment, reaching out towards it All-- and nothing but to give a giggle, you sit and watch me smiling. . .

The road is hard and long but we are always on it. Come down from the sky, you heathens, there is much work(nothing) to be done.

Infected Mushroom - Artillery

Sound Tribe Sector Nine - Shock Doctrine

Chemical Brothers - Do It Again

Buck 65 - Copshades

The Flaming Lips - The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song


Sorry for the late notes, guys, I kind of got distracted this week. . .

So things are going well in the Attic and so Cody and Sancho take some time to bring some minor things that I suppose just needed to be said by us and then moving on to the next phase of the show next year.

No dick jokes this week, but whose to say it can't happen!?!?!? I definitely can tell you that in the new year we're going to have more interviews on the show as well as bringing on listeners with something to say. Sancho might start recording with his socks off, and Cody will achieve the perfect psychedelic sound effect! If anything should happen the meantime then it is green and faded as it walks across the street- leaving sound. Taken as an instance there is no telling which direction that water flows when going uphill, it's all inside for one to ponder at and see themselves looking back out into amazement and amusement rides. Brookside chats with squirrels and a certain fondness for Arabia can lead one into valuable store shops with expensive jewelry and lame cab drivers, nothing is for free but some is taken. Hold onto with that gusto that could have killed John Wayne, bask in delight as they say right past the ultra filters and spasm junkies, no telling what door is leaky. Hop onto one side and lean forward in proportion to your weight as it's told on the meter, we have no tickets here but ride for free, son, we do have limits and you can test them for me. Taken a sign and billboards spring lifeless and still, calm waters again, birds singing. Frog jumps.

Episode 12.5 Show Notes

Featured Songs:

Erik Satie - Gnossienes Pt. 4

System of a Down - Prison Song

Blank Blue - Faces

Wolfmother - Dimension

Flaming Lips

Lo Borges - Cancao Postal


Looking through the other end of a telescope, and here is another BLITA Smashcast! Always a little different, you get a sort of variety of things today, a few oddities, a few listener contributions, and even some Sancho!!! You couldn't buy that man, you really couldn't.





This week Sancho goes a little outside the psychedelic territory and into something many people of the psychedelic nature can appreciate: Growing Your Own Food. Inspired by a recent Bill Moyers interview, Sancho provides you all with yet more interesting pathways to pursue in our search for a better way. Who knows what fruit it will bear, but it's better than the dead-end Death Culture's way of doing things, eh?

Meme of the Week: Corporate Food

Here's the link to the Moyers interview with Michael Pollan. Also, I'll provide you with some links that I found by following those provided in the show notes for this interview.

Episode 12.0 Show Notes

Fresh from Turkey Day, Cody and Sancho get down on some good old psychedelic thinking! With bellies full and buzzes slight, things always get interesting in the Attic. Some early topics are problems with our skype chat room, the Process church(vaguely), and the ejaculatory effects of the Illuminatus! Trilogy. Oh yeah, did we mention that this is our 23rd episode!?!?!?




Later on we listen to our first voicemail on our Skype account, blita1, and that spurs a very deep and interesting discussion about the sacred plants coming out of the jungle and into the New World, as well as the notion of a psychedelic renaissance occurring in our very near future. Not to be missed!!! The listener, Juliano, really touches upon a lot of very relevant topics and ideas within the psychedelic community and we weren't able to address them all, so it is very likely that we will continue this conversation next full episode(Ep. 13.0). I highly encourage you all to join in on the conversation over at our forum section over at the Grow Report. Let's connect minds!

iSpy: The Attic Version

The Attic(The OG)


Okay, okay, okay, so I'm really fucking bad at getting these show notes done fully and on time! So sorry, but God forgives!

Anyway, I want to give you what was supposed to be in last week's show notes, and by that I mean the photo hunt Cody mentioned! Sure, it may seems childish and whatever, but to be really honest, so what!!! That's the whole point, do something you haven't done in a while, but instead of "Where's Waldo" it's "where's the DMT pipe?" and really, which would you rather have? A walking candy cane or a 4-D candy cane with red and green self-transforming elves sliding around on it!?!?!?

So, you just go ahead and click on that picture up above and it will take you immediately to a super duper large sized version of this photograph, suspiciously taken off the grassy knoll. . .

BUT!!!!!!!!!

You need the list. . .

Now, for anyone that finds all "23" things, there is a prize which awaits you that is beyond anything ever dreamt of even in the deepest recesses of Shamballa, for truly this is the way to enlightenment.

Seriously though, have a go at it and email us back, we want you to be a part of the magick that goes into making these shows!!! You guys have no idea how cool and fun it has been doing these shows week after week, and even though the original Attic will not be a part of the "behind the scenes" of this show anymore, it's still where all the sweet shit will go down in our hearts, minds, spirits, and familiar spirits! Hell, we might even just have to take the Attic to Cody's new place, or maybe somewhere in the Nevada desert. . .

Anyways, so that's enough out of me for right now, but I'd like to leave you with a zen koan that comes straight from the "Zen Masters Workbook 2.0 for New Age Burnouts" and it goes something like this:

"What is the sound, of one Cat meowing?"

Huh? What the hell man!? I've just blown my own mind, but that's only because I'm gettin' it, are you man????
