Higgenbaum's Mitzvah
A gleaner’s garland, abraxas bop. With hallucinatory monologues, unreliable narratives, the laziest of journalistic inclinations, and occasional Artisanal Flarf™, host Scott Pinkmountain attempts to excavate the unconscious, tunneling through the superfund-grade dirt beneath the abandoned strip mall built upon the sacred burial ground, with nothing but his bare hands and a fading expectorant-green glowstick bracelet (stolen from his daughter’s bedside) clutched between his teeth. Each episode stands alone unless otherwise noted. (Episodes 1 and 7 are recommended starters) Legal Disclaimer: Higgenbaum’s Mitzvah is a eulogy for the hyacinth rainbow. The throttlebottom doo-dah at the flicker-flame's trial. Cattywampus yawp, ninnyhammer’s neigh. Elegiac dirge of the Anthropocene’s twilight, echoing through Shadow Gulch. Canceled event horizon. Extinction boogaloo, debacle bacchanal, hot mess hecatomb. The jitter-glitch shuffle fiasco at the last-gasp hosanna potluck. Warble.

Higgenbaum's Mitzvah will be back with Season 2 soon. In the meantime, here's a glimpse of things to come. Or, more accurately, things not coming.

I’ve finally broken down and accepted the fact that the only way forward with this project is to humbly ask you for your direct patronage. Kind of.

Peckham & Fleece, Part 2 – Snade Days
I agreed to have lunch with the Vice President of Domestic Tele-visual from Peckham & Fleece after our somewhat asymmetrical exchange.
This is the second part of a two-part story. If you haven’t heard the previous episode, I suggest starting there.
Peckham & Fleece, Part 1 – The Letter
I recently received a letter from the Vice President of Domestic Tele-visual at one of the lead US ad firms, the contents of which I thought would make for an interesting episode.

Samuel “Uncle Sam” Turner’s infamous Broken Rock Massacre was hardly the beginning of Frontierville’s history, but it marked the start of its modern era and cast a crooked shadow over the future generations of outlaws, renegades, dropouts, freakers, seekers, and cranks who would be drawn to its once hallowed ground.

We scuttled our scheduled episode and decided to share a guided meditation as a balm for these difficult times. Nothing cleanses the spirit like a deep dive into the interior, or as Whitman so elegantly put it, “A naked whistling stroll past the barnyard brothel of the cloaked boatman himself.”
