The new Moogieman EP will be available in cassette and digital download formats on Saturday at the Gappy Tooth Industries gig at the Wheatsheaf, and also on Bandcamp.
The EP has been specially mastered for tape and recorded on custom length purple cassette blanks, with printed label and insert.
It includes the songs Pomegranate, Ice Cream Van, Cold Cucumber Soup and ISON, all of which will be performed at the gig.
Rarely does this site delve into genetics, not least because of the total lack of any qualifications in that area among the Moogiemedia team. However, an intriguing series of events, leading to a most illuminating office discussion, has persuaded me to extemporise on the matter.

A stray comment from a work colleague about how all carrots used to be purple until the 17th century led me to the Carrot Museum.
Lots of interesting and useful info here about carrots. The recipes are also well worth checking out.
In fact they inspired me to put on a carrot-themed banquet. (more…)
