VYS0019 | It's A Very, Very Mad World - Donnie Darko
VYS0019 – It’s a Very, Very Mad World: Donnie Darko – Show Notes
In December 2002 Hine and Buckley met at the Dukes Cinema in Lancaster, Lancashire, UK, for what become one of their most cherished movie-going experiences - to watch an independent film which had already gathered a cult following: Donnie Darko. Donnie Darko is a divisive film popular opinion swings between it being a poignant and magical modern classic to it being amateurish, film school bullshit with an inexplicably great cast (and soundtrack!!!). In this feature length episode (an entire swaggering minute longer than the run-time of the theatrical cut itself!) Hine and Buckley drill down deep into why the film still means so much to them almost 21 years later, what Richard Kelly actually intended the film to mean, why it's actually a '90s masterpiece (despite not being set, made or released in the '90s) and what the "S" in "S. Darko" might stand for... Recorded 16 March 2023.

SVYS001 - Show Notes
Welcome to SideVayse: an extra shot of weird across the bows of an increasingly incohesive reality. This is a place for the oddities that don't quite belong in the main podcast but are still certified 100% pure Vayse.
SideVayse is going to be the place where we try some things that are a bit different, perhaps a bit more experimental, perhaps even weirder than the main podcast. We honestly don't know yet. But in Vayse we trust.
In this inaugural episode of SideVayse, Hine talks about his recent musings on Numinous Melancholy, the pleasurable sadness that seems to haunt the winter months, why the feeling is particularly potent this year and what, if anything, can be done about it. Recorded 15 December 2022.
SVYS001 - Show Notes
Music

VYS0013 | A Vayse-man Came Travelling - Yule 2022
VYS0013 - Show Notes
In this noticeably un-Christmassy Christmas episode Hine and Buckley catch up on the events of the past few months. Occult experiments in an Air BnB in Yorkshire? Check. Contact with a mysterious and potentially angry entity on the spirit box? Check. Teaming up with a spirit buddy called Herman? Check. And what is Hine doing taking spiritual advice from frogs, salamanders and bears? Better check for yourself... Recorded 15 December 2022
If you like the music from the podcast you can get yourself a copy here: https://vayse.bandcamp.com/releases and in doing so you help us cover our ever increasing overheads.

VYS0012 | Order Out of Chaos - Vayse to Face with Mark Vincent
VYS0012 - Show Notes
When Hine and Buckley had the idea to start a podcast about weird stuff in order to re-evaluate their reality this was the exact thing they had in mind. Mark Vincent is a man of many disciplines and much discipline - chaos magician, hypnotist, drummer, Lavey Satanist and purveyor of mind-blowing ideas. What was intended to be a discussion about chaos magic quickly spins off-track and takes a fascinating detour through the hard problem of consciousness, assembly theory, overcoming chronic pain and the pervasive nature of trance in occult practice. If you come away from listening to this episode with your idea of reality intact, then maybe you don't really exist at all... Recorded 21 November 2022.
