2SSM • Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (2004)

‘’I’ll get a Wimpy’’ In this spine-tingling, synth-dripping episode, Dave and Tom bravely descend into the dangerously underfunded corridors of Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, where the beats are as haunted as the hospital and the budget is flatter than Dr. Rick Dagless M.D.’s coke float (sorry Dag). The lads lovingly dissect the iconic soundtrack, including the sultry (and questionably HR-compliant) anthem “One Track Lover,” which proves that romance is alive and well, as long as it’s extremely repetitive and slightly unsettling. Meanwhile, “Scotch Mist” drifts in like a fog of pure ‘80s ambience, or possibly just a side effect of something Dr. Lucien Sanchez left uncapped in the lab. Expect deep dives into other standout tracks that sound like they were composed on a haunted Casio keyboard during a power outage. We’ll also pay tribute to the unforgettable cast: Garth Marenghi himself (author, visionary, dreamweaver, definitely not compensating), Dean Learner (producer, ladies’ man, bearer of mysterious subplots), and the ever-intense Liz Asher, who brings both psychic energy and questionable medical credentials to the mix. So pull back your hood, plug in your headphones, and enjoy... well, I SAY enjoy BONUS MATERIAL: Doris Norton - Raptus - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgHixmkV3xI
