A gleaner’s garland, abraxas bop.
With hallucinatory monologues, unreliable narratives, the laziest of journalistic inclinations, and occasional Artisanal Flarf™, host Scott Pinkmountain attempts to excavate the unconscious, tunneling through the superfund-grade dirt beneath the abandoned strip mall built upon the sacred burial ground, with nothing but his bare hands and a fading expectorant-green glowstick bracelet (stolen from his daughter’s bedside) clutched between his teeth.

Higgenbaum’s Mitzvah is a eulogy for the hyacinth rainbow. The throttlebottom doo-dah at the flicker-flame's trial. Cattywampus yawp, ninnyhammer’s neigh. Elegiac dirge of the Anthropocene’s twilight, echoing through Shadow Gulch. Canceled event horizon. Extinction boogaloo, debacle bacchanal, hot mess hecatomb. The jitter-glitch shuffle fiasco at the last-gasp hosanna potluck. Warble.

(5 Stars) "Higgenbaum's Mitzvah is a highly literate absurdist satire on the social and psychological conundrums we all confront in these confusing times. Pinkmountain has an astonishing command of language which will keep you intellectually engaged, tempered by frequent interludes of hilarious neurotic mania."

(5 stars) "Full of hilarity, knowledge, semi-knowledge and a malleable sense of how we construct our lives, these 30-min episodes are like really long fortune cookies written by an Eastern European rabbi stoned on peyote."
