"By night Hassan I Sabbah, like a civilized wolf in a turban, stretches out on a parapet above the garden and glares at the sky, conning the asterisms of heresy in the mindless cool desert air. True, in this myth, some aspirant disciples may be ordered to fling themselves off the ramparts into the black... but also true that some of them of will learn to fly like sorcerers" - Hakim Bey

"'Nothing is true and all is allowed' was the groundwork of the secret doctrine, with the help of God, the ruler of the world, losen the bands of the law. Blessed be his name. Blessed be his name. Is paradise anything but the pleasures of this present life? Or the pains of hell anything but the tiresome fatiuge which the followers of religions have to endure in the form of prayer, fast, holy war and pilgrimage. Know that I have delivered you, by this letter of mine, from your chains and freed you from your bonds. Whatever it is forbidden for the perverted world becomes lawful for you and those of your degree..."



So i've been listening to the WREK online archive and checked out the latest episode of Bob's Slacktime Funhouse. This weeks show had a Hassan I Sabbah theme and had a wonderful line up including Burroughs, Gysin, Hakim Bey, Genesis P-Orridge blended into some wonderful mixes involving old episodes of The Prisoner, Bill Laswell soundscapes and various Sub Genius Devivals (plus where the above quotes are from).

It is quite simply one of the best shows i've heard on the radio in a long time and to be honest I regret we didn't have access to some of this material for Collective Works Invisible College series. Check it out by clicking on the hyperlink referenced above, scroll over to the far right column designated for Sunday and click on the Slacktime Funhouse at 1am. I recommend you skip the first three minutes and thirty seconds since it's just a bleed over from the previous show. I recommend indulging in the luxurys of the Hashassin before or while listening.

If anyone out there has the tech to do so, the inclination and might live in the Atlanta area, i'd really appreciate a copy of this before the feed gets updated.
