They Came To Starburg by Steve Fly Agaric 23 (Audio Book stream)

“They Came To Starburg” is my first and only published short story, and also the first time i read my work aloud. Originally crafted for Halloween 2013, recorded in 2014 and released by Iron Man Records in 2015. If you enjoy this free stream of the story, please consider contributing to my effort by buying a track here:
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/they-came-to-starburg/id935832302

A note on the text: this story was inspired by the experience of watching Tesco (and all large supermarket malls) transform a small town in England, and my interest in tongue-in-cheek cosmic horror brewed with mushrooms.

Enjoy, Steve ‘Fly’ Pratt.

Did a little shopping this morning — just bought a digital copy of the new album Occupy by Dr Marshmallow Cubicle.

The band’s drummer and one of its main songwriters is my friend Steve “Fly” Pratt who has a big group of RAW related websites and blogs, among them the extraordinary RAW360 site, which you really should go take a look at today, if you are not familiar with it.

The album was released on April 23 on Iron Man Records. Fly is based in Amsterdam and has been playing with the band for quite awhile now.

Fly says “The Track titled ‘The Law Of Acceleration’ features fly reading words by Robert Anton Wilson, from Cosmic Trigger I.”

I listened to the track and noticed I enjoyed the drums. I asked Steve who his favorite drummers are. “Max Roach, Billy Martin, Alan Hertz, Owen Hart Jr., Mike Clark, Stevie Wonder, JoJo Mayer, Zakir Hussain,” he replied.

Occupy is available from iTunes and the Amazon digital music store and probably lots of other places, too. More on the album here. There are lots of YouTube videos of the band.
