... So Below ... Or, The Wreck Of The Broadcast

No.148, aired December 7, 2011, featuring the second disc of Ascension’s Broadcast, consisting the single 47 minute track “... so below.” The first disc, “as above ...” was played on June 15, no.125, in an earlier instalment of the Cozmo-Orgazmik Ascension series.

Late Monday night I decided that Gerard Manley Hopkins’ Wreck of the Deutschland would be a suitably active text to read with Ascension – only on the bus on the way to the station did I realize that Hopkin’s poem commemorates a shipwreck that happened on December 7 (same date the episode aired), in 1875!!
