This bonus episode was recorded live in the gallery space with Sonny E, the musician formerly known as Adamski, as a YouTube live stream. Declaring that Adamski is dead, Sonny performs his new cyber billy sound, before talking to old friend Mark McGowan about their shared love of music and his psychological warfare with the animals in his garden. We apologise for the short burst of drilling noise towards the end of the recording.
