On this week's show:
New Rock Album: Counting Crows, *Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings* (2008)...after a pretty amazing debut album in 1994, the Crows never made as impressive album again...until now, with this new release, divided into halves, some great rockers and some fine acoustic numbers...they've found themselves again...
Classic Rock Album: Paul Revere & the Raiders, *The Spirit of '67* (1966)...the band began hitting its stride when it landed in Portland, Oregon in the early 1960s...this album was released during their heyday, when they were making all sorts of fine music, some dark, some funny, some pretty...a delight of an album
Storybook Time: Chapter Sixteen of *Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism * by Daniel Pinchbeck...
Readings from *Why?* fixtion & various poems...& this week's featured artist is from the hard-rocking Seattle band Alice in Chains, cuts from their excellent acoustic 1994 EP, *Jar of Flies*...April is my favorite month, my birth month and one of great creativity...this bodes well for this broadcast!
Webcasting to the globe & beyond from the People's Republic of Portland, Oregon!
no show April 12--traveling back to old haunts in Seattle this weekend--next show April 19 :twisted:

On this week's show:
New Rock Album: Wye Oak, *If Children* (2008)...Debut album by this Baltimore duo, pretty indie rock that sometimes breaks out into grand noise...they sound like more than a duo, like a full blown band with the varieties of moods and sounds they bring to their record...a real pleasure to bring this album to more listeners...
Classic Rock Album: Screaming Trees, *Dust* (1996)...last album by this Seattle band, a very different sound from their early, more metal efforts, this album rocks more artfully, more subtle and brooding...they were changing as a band even in their last days and, amazingly, the brilliant quality of this music did not win them enough success to continue...
Storybook Time: Chapter Seventeen of *Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism * by Daniel Pinchbeck...
Readings from *Labyrinthine* fixtion & *Many Musics* poems...& this week's featured artist is The Mesmerizing Eye, cuts from their beguiling 1967 album, *Psychedelia: A Musical Light Show*...very obscure band, I could only find out (according to the Clandestine Sound Labs blog) that this band comprised "two producers Larry Goldberg and Hank Levine with a few studio freak musicians"...back from last week's trip to yesterdayland in Seattle, and ready to plunge on, brothers, sisters, plunge forth!

On this week's show:
New Rock Album: Portishead, *Third* (2008)...It's been a decade since this UK trio helped invent trip-hop and released music that could be listened to over and over like a drug itself...their new material is darker, stranger, sometimes gives melody over to biting texture...not an easy album to like at first, but its depths are far, and well worth the try...
Classic Rock Album: The Doors, *L.A. Woman* (1971)...being April, it is time again to spin Doors album on this show...fifth year running, not sure how it became a tradition, but a good one...this album was the band's final as a quartet, as singer Jim Morrison left for Paris after its recording, and died, or disappeared, or something...for all the problems the band had developed with disappointed fans and legal tangles, this album works from beginning to end, mines a deep trippy blues vein, includes some classic rock FM radio staples, but not a bad number among the rest either...
Storybook Time: Chapter Eighteen of *Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism * by Daniel Pinchbeck...
Readings from *Labyrinthine* fixtion & *Many Musics* poems...& this week's featured artist, continuing this month's feast of Seattle bands, is Soundgarden, another of these bands that developed from just loud to great, learning how to shape noise & angst within melody, and set a pace for future bands trying this...my birthday is Monday, & I can only think: grateful, and grateful, and grateful...
