Marvelous Darkness
Hosted by
The collective cacophony of a hundred-odd jack-in-the-boxes simultaneously being cranked into wakefulness by a horde of malevolent clowns whose gaunt and twisted faces are brought into sharp relief by flickering oil-lamps under the dusty drape of a tattered circus tent canopy. It is the sound of a time that never was and that never will be, filtered through the tinny twirling turbulence of an antiquated grammophone. The sound of long-forgotten toy pianos and dusty music boxes sneaking through the cracks in the attic floor. Accordions meet bass clarinets in a vague and contorted echo of a sideways glance at the future through the cracked lens of the monocle of the past. Tarnished tubas and chortling cellos blend with the cackle of a corrupt ringmaster ricocheting off the walls of an abandoned Victorian manor. A whirling frenzy of gypsy-circus-cabaret-graveyard-blues under a full moon.

Greeting Marvelosians.
Please take note of the following Groovy Things so that you might partake in them in the near future.
...
As the Darkness ripens to Marvelosity over the course of the show and Jessica completes her lowly tasks as assistant to me, Cordelia, I have accumulated time here in the DJ booth to create Bloggery and Linkage to most Groovy and Interesting sites outside of the alread-fantastic CJLO page.
On the show today, a song by the name of "Evelyn Evelyn" by the group Evekyn Evelyn was played and I mentioned a stirringly beauteous video created in tandem with the song. I will now provide you with access to this video. One is obliged to love the intricacy and meticulous detail of stop-motion animation. Behold!
Here too, as promised, are Jesca Hoop's videos for...
As 2010 draws to a close, I find myself completely indifferent and nonplussed. It is, after all, but another 'year', a cycle of 365 days that could start and ened at any given day. Someone somewhere once decided that January should be the honourable month to receive this honorable honour. Why not August? or November? And why must things begin with a '1'? Why not start the new year on April 13th? It's all every so arbitrary.
However, any excuse to celebrate is fine with me. Whether with friends, or alone in one's room with a bottle of moonshine for company. Hopefully the former.
BUY RAFFLE TICKETS! BUY THEM FROM ME! CORDELIA AND CO. WILL BE TABLING IN THE MEZZ (2ND FLOOR OF HALL BUILDING) ON JANUARY 4TH AND 6TH FROM 12-6. You can buy tickets there, or you can...
Greetings Marvelous Minions,
On today's show I featured some entirely new and hitherto unheard artists, as well as some upwards coming forth-- er... what is that idiom you folk use? Up-and-coming, yes. Some up-and-coming artists of the Canadian persuasion, or just generally coming-up. I promised links, and links I shall provide:
Sepiachord - a most excellent resource for discovering new music of the dark and marvelous sort:

Bitter Ruin - a delighfully dark duo hailing from Brighton, England:

Greetings, My Marvelous Minions.
Cordelia has returned for another season of gloriously gloomy and delightfully dark digital ditties, that is to say, macabre melodies and phantasmagorical fanfare. That's right. The Marvelous Darkness has fallen. Come into the night.
Hop on your velocipede and hasten to a time that never was, where nothing is altogether canny and everything is shrouded in delicious dark.
FRIDAYS AT ONE IN THE AFTERNOON betwixt the Chesterfield Hour and the Reaktor.
Wind your watches.
Cordelia
