Back from September sabbatical, the Lickers return for episode 25, playin’ the alphabet game again. This time they’re discussing their favorite bands or artists that are filed under “E” in their vinyl collections. Praise be.
In the early 1970s, legendary collaborator and self-proclaimed non-musician Brian Eno famously designed a deck of 115 cards containing elliptical imperatives to spark in the user creative connections unobtainable through regular modes of work. He called his creation "Oblique Strategies." For nearly one half of a century, countless artists and professionals across the globe have benefited from utilizing the oblique strategies technique when attempting to overcome a lull in creative output. In 2022, idiot basement-dwelling hobby podcasters and self-proclaimed Lightnin' Lickers Jay and Deon found themselves uninspired when contemplating the potential themes of their upcoming twenty-fifth episode. Together, they decided... to default back to the alphabet. Because they knew the alphabet pretty good. They had already utilized the letters A thru D, so naturally, they went with E. Genius.
