HEY, VENUS! RADIO

The anticipation of spring has begun to take shape before our very eyes. What better way to celebrate this happening, than a sneak-peek into what's been blossoming about in our little garden. But our adventure doesn't end there -we'll also dive into some unusual words from our 900 page dictionary circa 1936. So, why is it that the word caterpillar has such a lengthy definition? In w...

She who sleeps to be so very awake. Nameless vibrations takes flight, you blissful awakener. Zufluss? Befriet! Translation: the time has come...for us to get into some Rilke. We'll read from one of our most adored pieces by the infamous poet  -in both English and German, all while sitting beneath a wintry-speckled apple tree.

This morning I woke to a lizard above my head (on the pillow), it was watching me as I rolled over and gazed into its eyes. It crawled up my arm and into my hair. I wondered if he had been there all this time? “Damn good address for a rat...” he muttered. The milk passed through the homogenizer. As a boy I memorized these mornings well, the hum as my vision polestarred. Down below she mowed the la...

How does a plate of broccoli relate to Claude Levi-Strauss' Introduction to a Science of Mythology? Claude's early works were rarely celebrated, as his experiments didn't always appeal to his fellow anthropologists. But we're dancing on his grave anyhow, as his alien love-call tastes like honey. Aside from these ghastly scrumptious happenings, we’ll be discussing the essentials...

She sneezed and stubbed her toe back at the electric toothbrush counter, where she used to work as a dishwasher. Opalescent spiders twirl behind the milk cartons. Is she hallucinating all of this, dear internet? A velvety balm pollinated the cycads (as their 16th century appetite had grown weary). For a little cash she bought a dewy meadowlark and a salubrious breeze, from some kids over by the po...
