0:00.0	Hello, gentle listener, and welcome to nocturnal transmissions, the fortnightly podcast that brings you dark tales, both old and new, performed by your humble
0:24.9	narrator, Kristen Arlen. Of all lies, art is the least untrue. Gustav Flaubert. Art is the least untrue, Gustav Flouber.
0:39.8	Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail.
0:50.3	Theodore Tracer, love the art in yourself and not yourself in the art.
1:02.0	Hmm, Constantine Stanislavsky.
1:08.0	Nocturnal transmissions is proud to present an exhibition by Matthew
1:18.9	G. Rees. Vile. That's what he was, in her eyes. The mere thought of his creations. It made her shudder. It polluted her, his effluent, so that her tea, yes, even her tea, the very tea in her very cup, tasted bitter.
1:55.7	Julius, blunt, the little darling of the London art world, the enfonteurible of English culture,

2:50.7	all roads and railway lines south
2:52.8	to London. And never mind also the young Blunt's education at a top public school, followed
3:00.0	by his attendance at a highly fashionable art college, and with it possession of an accent,
3:05.4	posher than H.M. The way he and his PR people spun it,
3:11.4	blunt, was just an ordinary northern emperor, lad. And so the town gallery, suckered like so many
3:17.7	others, actually took in his trash, rather than dumping it in the gutter where it belonged.
