This is the blog that accompanies the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show. The Epileptic Gibbon is me, your guide in a world of weird, wonderful, epic, majestic, experimental and beautiful music. I’m also a psychologist/tutor (my main job) and a huge music fan, with the latter leading me to host my podcast show and also organise EppyFest, an annual one-day indoor music festival. My podcast music show is devoted to the best mixture of independent and small label (with occasional major label names) prog rock, art rock, post rock, prog metal, jazz rock, folk rock, math rock, downtempo, chill-out, ambient electronica, IDM, chamber pop, folktronica, psychedelia , neo-classical , film & TV soundtracks and experimental/avant garde music.

I have just discovered the Epileptic Gibbon podcast while chasing down an opportunity to see William D Drake live and finding Eppyfest. The ‘click here to listen’ link on each podcast page gives streaming audio only.You give the download file size so I assume podcast download is supported. However, I cannot see how to do this.
Please forgive this stupid question. I am old and dim.

My name is Dr Frances Gibbon and I’m a children’s neurologist. I have had epilepsy since childhood and you can read about it at http://pn.bmj.com/content/11/6/370.extract?eaf
I find your name and the title of your “Eppy Fest” personally unfortunate but also distasteful to the many people with epilepsy who are my patients. They have enough stigmatisation to deal with as it is. You say you are a pschologist so you should know better.
PS I had enough to cope with being called Funky Gibbon throughout my childhood but this takes the biscuit.
Thank you for your comment. I am sorry to hear that you have been offended. It is worth noting that no offence is intended. The podcast show and the festival do not in any way denigrate the condition of epilepsy or people who suffer with it, any more than it denigrates gibbons or people with the name Gibbon.
Hello Mr Gibbon. I have two questions… First is, are you a funky gibbon? (hope that is only the first time you’ve heard that today) and secondly, what is the best way for me to get my album to you to consider for your podcast etc? You can sus us out at http://spiralkey.bandcamp.com/.
Cheers, Ken (www.facebook.com/spiralkey)

not sure if you would be interest but…
Preston based three piece DEAD bring another slice of lo-fi, angular rock music for their second release Caturday (out 16/01/16). After a string of shows across 2015 supporting the likes of The Monobrows, Cunch, Ka-Ghoul and John Revolta, DEAD hit the studio to record 3 new tracks, including fan favourite We’ve (Still) Got A Ghost.
Caturday is available for free digital download or on sensual compact disc
Very sorry for the extreme delay, Scott. I like what I’m hearing. I’ll try to feature a track on a future edition of the show.
Hi great show great music thank you.
Many thanks for the feedback Paul. Really glad you’re enjoying the show. What sorts of music do you enjoy? And are there any tracks/bands/acts you’re particularly enjoying?
Dear Ian (Eppy).
I hope all is well with you. Excellent work with the show.
If you’re interested I have a new piece of work being released on 1st August 2016. It’s out on Bandcamp where I have also put the rest of my catalogue. If you wouldn’t mind maybe giving some listeners the heads up about this I’d greatly appreciate it, I can send you links etc. if you would like a listen.
Kind regards
Damon
Very sorry for the delay Damon. Just sent you a message on Facebook.
Hello Mike gibbon,
First of all I listened to a more recent episode and I really enjoyed the show.. keep doing what you do.
My band just released our first album. We put a lot of work into and we’re excited to share it with the world. Would you be willing to check it out and tell us what you think? If you like what your hear we’d be thrilled if you featured a song. It’s at bigmath.bandcamp.com shoot me an email if you’re interested?
Thanks for your time. Keep it up man!
Ahh I meant mr gibbon, not “Mike gibbon”! Haha how awkward. My oppolgies, gib master flex… I meant that one.
Hi there. We’re a two-man group called Digital By Birth. We make a diverse range of post-punk and experimental sample-based electronica and ambient. You and your show sounds like we might be compatible and we’d love to send you our current album on one of our USB packs IF you interested? All the best Alan.
Hi Alan, Thanks for getting touch. What do you need from me? An email address? Best wishes, Ian
Well, ideally a postal address to send you a physical copy of our new album on one of our USB Release packs? Is that cool Ian? Thanks for responding either way.
Sure, that makes sense. I’ve just sent you a private message on Facebook with a postal address.
Many thanks, man. Couldn’t be cheeky and get an email too could I Ian?
Yes, I can send you one of those too Alan.
Once again, thank you, dude. Can we add you to our mailing list?
