The Paleface Parabola - 09-12-2025
And so it came to pass that on a cold and fateful late Autumn night that the vast expanse of the fifth estate, Studio A, was filled with joyful noise and two aging outsiders to host, produce, and programme the first new Paleface Parabola in weeks. And the Lord took a step back to survey the humble creation and thoughtfully smiled as he danced to the music... and those who were in God’s close quarters could have sworn they heard it said ‘All the squares go home!’ in a moment of rhapsody. For you see brethren, it was simply futile to resist Advent (the Mystery Man’s show closer), Mose Allison (simply one of the 20th Century’s great songwriters), Jimmy Cliff, the Third Bardo, and the Bonzo Dog Band, because there’s no expiration date on fun. And at the end of our two hours together, we high and low-fived and agreed that it indeed, was good.
