SILENCE! #292
April 14th, 2021
Broken partings making strange goodbyes. Hopeless cases with fake alibis
This is your blurb. Deal with it, yeah?
<ITEM> Get excited because this SILENCE! is a The Beast Must Die Solo Special! By that we mean The Beast is extremely busy and off on his own, working hard and, crucially, not appearing on this podcast.
<ITEM> Nevertheless, Gary Lactus loves to party (alone in his car like sad, middle aged man who is wondering where it all went wrong) so he’s invited some top guests to fool around with and have a really great time.
<ITEM> What’s that sound of creaking gears and whining servos? Why, it’s Spare 5 who, although not a real boy, has real things to say about David Lapham’s Silverfish and the film, Psycho II whilst Gary moans about superheroes in general.
<ITEM> Douglas Noble comes along to talk about Pocket Chillers and Tarzan. Interesting to note that Douglas danced part of a 1980 Legs And Co routine continuously throughout recording. Of course, this is an audio-only presentation and doesn’t come accross when listening. Shame, he’s quite good.
<ITEM> Maid Of Nails aka Kelly Kanayama sings some of her hits in between talk about Hellblazer: Royal Blood, Royalty, Amateur Demonology, Garth Ennis and A Walk Through Hell. Oh, and a Korean Drama which might be called Worlds Apart or something like that.
<ITEM> Finally Tom Mortimer provides the weird, human cherry on top of this cocktail made from old, found booze which tastes surprisingly pleasant. I mean, this is mostly bullshit but there’s some stuff about Blue And Green, Severed and Skrull Kill Crew in there.
<ITEM>LISTEN!

THE MINDLESS INTERVIEW: 21 Questions with DAVID LAPHAM
July 17th, 2008
So David very kindly agreed to do an interview with Mindless Ones, as we’re all tremendous fans of his disturbing, enthralling and brilliant comics.
That’s one way to put it.
Another would be this. Posing as travelling Bible salesmen, we drugged Lapham up to the eyballs, dressed him up like a little girl, and tied him to a chair. Then we set Mr Stairs, our resident knife-wielding monkey to work on that pretty face of his.
After a few hours with Mr Stairs, he was very keen to answer our questions. There’s lovely!
