BehindClosedDoors Special Edition – Supersonic Festival 2011 | Supersonic is by far the UK's most exciting music festival, featuring some the world's most eclectic bands, and artists. We transformed Behind Closed Doors host Kim Monaghan from a lowly chin-stroking basement dweller, into a fully fledged roving reporter; and sent him to meet the organisers of this amazing event over tea and cake. To add to this, we also asked the lovely ladies from Capsule - the event organisers - to pick us a track-list of the bands playing, and turn them over to you the listener. We hope to do this every year, and more importantly, we'll get Kim to go to a quieter location to do interviews. Baby steps. Track-list, picked by Capsule: Mike Watt - Arrow Pierced Egg Man Cloaks - Desolate Turves Part Chimp - Hello Bastards Scorn - Amroth Alexander Tucker - His Arm Has Grown Long The Berg Sans Nipple - Hark, The Poonie Angel Sings Nathan Bell - From Within We Are The Skull Defekts - Fragrant Nimbus Electric Wizard - We Hate You Iconaclass - Long Haul Pekko Kappi - Ja Kielistas Lissaa White Hills - Radiate Circle - Vaellus Silver Apples - Whirly Bird Alva Noto - U If you want us to play your band/noise/whatever, drop us a line here.

EPISODE 45 – Approaching Chaos with Lucy Wyatt | This week we talk to author Lucy Wyatt about how ancient archetypes could save 21st Century Civilisation. In this weeks episode we discuss: The Ur Concept, Mountain Civilisations, Shamanism, Alchemy, Magic, Quantum Physics, Religion, and much more. DaddyTank's Ancient SoundCloud Specimens were resurrected in the form of: Dang Communist - Postal Dream Dunaewsky69 - UFHCSC Jimmy The Hideous Penguin - Keeping It Gangster If you have any queries, suggestions, insults etc. Please feel free to email ken@sittingnow.co.uk. Enjoy! Lucy Wyatt Bio: Lucy Wyatt and family live on an unspoilt farm by the east coast of England. The farm was derelict but had 600 year-old oak trees, woods, hedgerows and old buildings. It was a chance to explore living in harmony with Nature. The Wyatts restored it using mostly eco-materials and now share this special place with many animals (horses, cattle, pigs, chickens, dogs, cats). The experiment includes the collection of rainwater for animal drinking; a 3-pond sewage system with Steiner-inspired flowforms; and a processor that uses Oil Seed Rape for high grade bio-fuel in farm machinery and a large electricity generator. Apart from a grandfather who gave Lucy her love of horses, her family were not farmers. She grew up in the University town of Cambridge where her father was an architect (now in his 80s, he drew the illustrations in her book). Lucy, however, studied International Relations and Italian at Sussex University, aiming to work in Europe but instead ended up in London at Conran Group, and followed that with editing a magazine for a City of London stockbroker firm where she met her husband. They moved to the countryside after their first daughter was born. As well as researching the ancient past, Lucy is also interested in Earth energies and now leads local Gatekeeper Trust pilgrimages on equinoxes and solstices. | 1 3 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Gregory Sams Bio: Gregory Sams is a pioneer of food for the body and food for the mind. He co-founded, with brother Craig, Seed restaurant, the first natural and organic eatery in the UK, followed by Ceres Grain Store in the Portobello Road because people wanted to cook this food at home, and then Whole Earth foods, the all-organic brand. In 1982, he launched the first VegeBurger, a product he developed and christened. His brother Craig went on to found Green and Black's chocolate. Aged 18, Greg founded Harmony Magazine in 1968 to which John Lennon dedicated an 8-frame cartoon, and later co-published Seed: The Journal of Organic Living. He founded Strange Attractions, the world's first ever shop dedicated to chaos theory. His interest in chaos led to an interest in consciousness that led to writing this book. He is the author of Uncommon Sense: The State is Out of Date, and Sun of gOd. He lives in London. | 15 2 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE 41 – Keeping it Crass, with Steve Ignorant | This week we tak to anarcho punk legend Steve Ignorant. Steve was the lead singer in the legendary punk band Crass. We also get the lowdown on our new partners in crime from across the pond Alterati.com. and chat it up with head honcho Joseph Matheny. In this weeks episode we discuss (with Steve): Busting punk myths, Anarcho punks humble beginings, The influence of Crass and Dial House, pranking the government, and Punch and Judy! Due to a breakdown in the normally iron-like SittngNow communication network, Daddytank was unable to mobilise in time. However, Ken is at hand with a slab of droney brilliance from the amazing Lunar Abyss Quartet with 'Buruvana'. If you have any queries, suggestions, insults etc. Please feel free to email ken@sittingnow.co.uk. Enjoy! Steve Ignorant Biography now available: The day that Stephen Williams walked up the path to Dial House and found Jeremy Ratter at the end of it, sitting at a typewriter, was undoubtedly an auspicious event for both of them - not to mention for many of us. It was 1977, and although there were fifteen years and a world of social privilege separating them, the two shared something much more important: their dissatisfaction with the life that society was offering them. Steve had recently been infected with Punk Rock at a gig by the Clash, and Jeremy had a drum kit. Together, they formed Crass. Over the next seven years, Crass would stencil its name in indelible paint across the face of British culture. They would become the band that rattled the timbers in the Houses of Parliament, infiltrated teenage magazines, fought savage anti-establishment, pro-humanitarian battles, and challenged the music industry with a new definition of DIY. The Rest Is Propaganda is not, however, the story of that band. Rather, it is the story of a young boy who grew up on the streets of Dagenham, wearing Tuf shoes and holey jumpers, being railroaded to a life on the factory floor. This is the story of a lad who learned about life on on the terraces of Upton Park, in the pubs and clubs of East London, behind the counter of Wallis's supermarket, and why he left that all behind. It is the story of how Stephen Williams became Steve Ignorant. And what he did after. | 10 11 10 | Free | View In iTunes |

He moved to America in the mid-sixties and now lives in the desert of New Mexico. He had a near death experience in 1973. Afterwards, he devoted himself to the study of "non-human intelligences" (such as angels, dolphins, and extraterrestrials) using visual art, music and writing as the three main means of communication. In 1980 he started a series of sacred landscape graphics and this led to an examination of the way graphic art can anchor spiritual information into the third-dimensional reality most typically experienced. Much of his visual work has a healing dimension, and he uses a light trance state to create either a mandala or an icon that represents the physical healing intended. His lifelong interest in telepathy inspired him to do a series of graphics designed to explore the potentials of visual telepathy and its relationship to synchronicity and the higher dimensions. | 26 7 10 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE 30 – Druids, Satan and Crud with Isaac Bonewits | We finally did it, we reached episode 30! To celebrate the 'big 3 0' we decided to invite back co-hosts Raymond Wiley and Austin Gandy to get the proceedings in full swing, and booked a guest that we've been hankering after for a while now. To top this off, we also recorded the show live (something we plan to do from now on), and our audience gave us some great questions! The guest in question, Isaac Bonewits, has had a fantastically rich career in occultism. From becoming the ArchDruid of the RDNA, to helping reconstruct the 'Caliphate' branch of the OTO, Isaac gives us a fantastically engaging, frank and often funny, interview. Discussed this week: Why Neo-paganism appears to be changing, How to get thrown out of the Church of Satan by Aton Lavay, being awarded the only recognised academic degree in 'Magic', the effect of 'crud' on estoterism, and uncle Aleister. Of course, no show would be complete without a musical interlude from the amazing Daddytank and his chorus of noise! This weeks entertainers: Each Paw Gremlin Small - IIIsey e.r.o.d.e - R03 Early Paintings - Fundamentalist We'll keep you posted on the site for when we're doing the next live show. You can also follow site developments on Twitter, just follow @sittingnow enjoy! Isaac Bonewits Bio: Bonewits, P. E. I. (Isaac) (1949–?) One of the brightest and most colorful figures of the Neopagan movement, Philip Emmons Isaac Bonewits is best known for his leadership in modern Druidism. He is a priest, magician, scholar, author, bard and activist, and has dedicated himself to reviving Druidism as a “Third Wave” religion aimed at protecting “Mother Nature and all Her children.“ Bonewits was born on October 1, 1949, in Royal Oak, Michigan — the perfect place, he likes to joke, for a future Archdruid. The fourth of five children (three girls, two boys), he spent most of his childhood in Ferndale, a suburb of Detroit. When he was nearly 12, the family moved to [Southern California, first on the actual beach of Capistrano Beach, later to] San Clemente, California. From his mother, a devout Roman Catholic, Bonewits developed an appreciation for the importance of religion; from his father, a convert to Catholicism from Presbyterianism, he acquired skepticism. He bounced back and forth between parochial and public schools, largely due to the lack of programs for very bright students — his I.Q. was tested at 200. His first exposure to magic came at age 13, when he met a young Creole woman from New Orleans who practiced Voodoo. She showed him some of her magic and so accurately divined the future [and so successfully performed spells] that he was greatly impressed. During his teen years, he read extensively about magic and parapsychology. He also read science fiction, which often has strong magical and psychic themes. In ninth grade, Bonewits entered a Catholic high-school seminary. He soon realized, however, that he did not want to be a priest in the Catholic faith. He returned to public school and graduated a year early. After spending a year in junior college to get foreign language credits, he enrolled at the University of California at Berkeley in 1966. At about the same time, he began practicing magic, devising his own rituals by studying the structure of rituals in books, and by observing them in various churches. His roommate at Berkeley, Robert Larson, was a Druid, an alumnus of Carleton College, where the Reformed Druids of North America (RDNA) had been founded in 1963. Larson interested Bonewits in Druidism and initiated him into the RDNA. The two established a grove in Berkeley. Bonewits was ordained as a Druid priest in October 1969. The Berkeley grove was shaped as a Neopagan religion, unlike other RDNA groves, which considered the order a philosophy. The Neopagan groves became part of a branch called the New Reformed Druids of North America (NRDNA). During college, Bonewits spent about eight months as a member of the Church of Satan, | 29 8 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

He currently lives in The Cotswolds in England. For the past twenty years Rodney has been well-known as a musician, record producer, and author. He lectures frequently at colleges and music business events, where his ability to present highly technical matters in an entertaining, understandable style has made him very much in demand. Rodney has acted as a consultant with many of the top companies in the music instrument industry in the past years, most notably with Steinberg and DTS, as well as writing a regular monthly column for Computer Music magazine and running the ground-breaking musicians community at mi7.com After the release of his seminal band, The Cassandra Complex's first records Orpheus spent several years touring Europe, originally basing himself in Aachen, Germany, where he joined Ordo Templi Orientis.

EPISODE 27 – What happened to the Counterculture? | Just when you thought we were 'pod-fading' (whatever the hell that means), we return with a BANG! Back in the early 1990's a strange thing occurred: fringe-culture exploded. Not only did we see shows like The X-Files take centre stage; but also the apparent rise of a new fringe-community online. But, like all really cool things, it seemed to evaporate at the begining of the new Millennium. In this weeks bumper episode, we talk to three 'fringe-savants', all of whom were major contributors to this scene (and continue to innovate to this day): Douglas Rushkoff,Richard Metzger and R.U.Sirius, to find out what happened to the Counterculture. Discussed: Pre-millennium tension, Countercultural-personalities, Made culture, defining counterculture and loads more. Joining me in the ever expanding co-host chair is Kim 'Daddytank' Monaghan, who draws some rather profound inspiration from, of all places, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Of course, no episode of SittingNow would be complete without some fine musical selections from the Interwebs, this week taking the form of: Gypsum - Bonaissance Daemien Frost - Slut Style Cabbage - Industrial Tourism Adventure Fiddler Daevid Bragger - My Four Reasons We'll be back next week with the Rev.

EPISODE 26 – The Three Stigmata of Phillip K. Dick, with Erik Davis | BACK IN THE SADDLE! We finally return to the world of audio podcasting after a few weeks of video capture and training (coming June 2009). This week we dream of android-sheep, with cultural critic and social theorist Erik Davis. In this (the first of many we hope) interview, we decided to focus on Erik's study of visionary-author Phillip K. Dick, as well as a brief look at Davis' own 'Techgnosis' studies. In this episode we discuss: Phillip K. Dick's bizzare life, the 'pink laser' experience, the Valis-trilogy, Dick's exegesis, Technosis and much more. While our first-officer, Claire Lumiere, remains aurally-absent again this week; our sub-mariner, Daddytank, and his navy of musical vessels, defend our shores of the alternative once again with his excellent 'Myspace Heroes'. This weeks high-yield torpedoes come in shape of: Migration - They Said That Committed Suicide action world ! - am i paranoia Dotted Fielda - rainDance Xela - Beatae Immortalitatis Join us next week, and we mean next week this time, with an amazing interview with returning guests Douglas Rushkoff and Richard Metzger! Erik Davis Biog: Erik Davis is a San Franciso-based writer, culture critic, and independent scholar. His book TechGnosis: Myth, Magic, and Mysticism in the Age of Information was released by Harmony Books in the fall of 1998. It has been translated into five languages, and has achieved, in certain circles, the vaguely enviable status of a "cult classic." Davis is a contributing writer for Wired magazines, and wrote "The Posthuman Condition" column for the sadly departed online magazine Feed. His essays have appeared in over half a dozen books, including Zig Zag Zen: Buddhism and Psychedelics (Chronicle), The Disinformation Book of Lies (Disinfo), Prefiguring Cyberculture (MIT Press) and Paul "DJ Spooky" Miller's Sound Unbound (MIT). He has contributed articles and essays to a wide variety of publications, including Bookforum, The Wire, ArtByte, the LA Weekly, Gnosis, and the Village Voice. His articles have been translated for publication in countries ranging from Japan to Brazil to Hungary. Davis has taught at the California Institute of Integral Studies, the New York Open Center, and Esalen, and was one of the organizers of Planetwork, a conference on information technology and global ecology held in San Francisco in 2000. He has been interviewed by CNN, has popped up on radio shows internationally, and appeared prominently in Craig Baldwin's underground film, the SciFi media critique Specters of the Spectrum. His in-depth studies of the science fiction author Philip K. Dick have been acknowledged by the New Yorker. Davis has also lectured internationally on topics relating to media arts, contemporary electronic music, and spirituality in the postmodern world. Davis is a fifth-generation Californian, and is currently working with the photographer Michael Rauner on California Visions, a photo-essay travelogue through the Golden State's landscape of alternative spirituality. He is also at work on a short book about Led Zeppelin, and various fragments of bardo fiction. | 2 5 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Enjoy! Official James Randi Biography: James Randi has an international reputation as a magician and escape artist, but today he is best known as the world's most tireless investigator and demystifier of paranormal and pseudoscientific claims. Randi has pursued "psychic" spoonbenders, exposed the dirty tricks of faith healers, investigated homeopathic water "with a memory," and generally been a thorn in the sides of those who try to pull the wool over the public's eyes in the name of the supernatural. He has received numerous awards and recognitions, including a Fellowship from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation in 1986. On October 19, 1993, the PBS-TV "NOVA" program broadcast a one-hour special dealing with Randi's life work, particularly with his investigations of Uri Geller and various occult and healing claims being made by scientists in Russia. He is the author of numerous books, including The Truth About Uri Geller, The Faith Healers, Flim-Flam!, and An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural. His lectures and television appearances have delighted - and vexed - audiences around the world. "We may disagree with Randi on certain points, but we ignore him at our peril." -Carl Sagan In 1996, the James Randi Education Foundation was established to further Randi's work. Randi's long-standing challenge to psychics now stands as a $1,000,000 prize administered by the Foundation. It remains unclaimed. | 12 10 08 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE 08 – The Government and UFOs with Nick Pope | This weeks guest, Nick Pope, used to run the British Government's UFO project at the Ministry of Defence. Initially sceptical, his research and investigation into the UFO phenomenon and access to formerly classified government files on the subject soon convinced him that the phenomenon raised important defence and national security issues, especially when the witnesses were military pilots or where UFOs were tracked on radar. Nick also looked into other mysteries such as alien abductions, crop circles and ghosts. He now continues his research in a private capacity and is recognised as a leading authority on UFOs and the unexplained. He does extensive media work, lectures all around the world and has acted as consultant on numerous television documentaries. Background music this week comes in the shape of Four Tet.

Right Where You Are Sitting Now - My Review
With interviews with such far flung luminaries as Trey Spruance and Nick Pope (UFO boffin), Sitting Now (as it is affectionately known) is a microcosm of counter cultural thought,news and the arts. Reviews from people in the know, music hand picked by a man who knows what his ears are saying and a selection of the weeks weird events mean that the site always has something of interest for most. Despite technical issues and an almost random selection of presenters the show has a stylish polish which is mainly down to the work of the mild-mannered Ken, who is gracious enough to allow his guests to do most of the talking, something you don't get on the radio. Subscribe to Sitting Now and listen to everything...well, personally I wouldn't bother with the magic (magick ?) ones...they're a bit boring but it's not really my cup of tea.
example to us all!
When Ken said he was going to make a podcast to go with his site http://sittingnow.co.uk, I laughed thinking it would last a week. But i'm sat here now at his computer, editing episode 18 with him! It's a great show, and even as a friend, I am happy to recomend this to anyone I meet!
A well chosen and eclectic selection of guests
Great podcast with a well chosen and eclectic selection of guests. Thought provoking and stimulating for anyone interested in different aspects of counter-culture.
Thanks to you Mr. Ken Eakins
