CerebralMix 2015-03-01 Ulysses Episode Nine

Sometimes it’s just better to get a show up late than never. This week has been a rough one for my work here. This show is a couple of days late due to a an unforseen technical issue that lead to some additional production work needing to be done to bring it to you. And, then on top of that, I am starting to come down with some mystery illness that is going around work.

But none the less, here is the Ninth Episode in our survey / examination of Ulysses by James Joyce. We finish off the Sirens episode from the novel, and then move on to the first two parts of the Cyclops Episode. This lead to a rather odd selection of music for this episode: it’s a strange mix of abstract electronic works, pop / rock, and dub / reggae music. But, given the concept that there should be no borders between different styles, it seems fairly appropriate for this transitional episode.

Readings

In the past I’ve actually included the text of the poems or stories as part of the show notes. In the case of Ulysses that would be a bit on the incredibly heavy side. Instead I have produced a guide: CerebralMix Ulysses Series that provides the references that I am using, along with a show guide to the whole broadcast of this series.
