On this week's show:
New Rock Album: Mudcrutch, *Mudcrutch* (2008)...Mudcrutch was Tom Petty's band before the Heartbreakers, were around in the early '70s and did very little recording...Petty brought them back for a reunion album, which is long, and took me awhile to enjoy end to end...but I gave it a shot and it is really good, a little like the Heartbreakers but maybe a bit more garage rock in its ethos...fun album, and more....
Classic Rock Album: Neil Young, *On the Beach* (1974)...fans expecting NY to cut a sequel to *Harvest* didn't take to this album, one of his more obscure, strange releases...moody, but musically inspired...a short trip down a long road...
Storybook Time: Chapter Twenty-two 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 Guns N' Roses, maybe a strange pick for a psychedelic music show but there are moments where this band rocks brilliantly beyond label and genre, and deserve these moments to be remembered...recently got what a friend calls emancipation through termination, he was gleeful over his when it came...I will find my glee in what the world looks like when the boat rights up again...yeehah!

On this week's show:
New Rock Album: Beck, *Modern Guilt* (2008)...wow, this is the fourth Beck album featured on this show...Beck collaborates with producer Danger Mouse to produce a deep album that is strangely under 40 minutes long...he taps fears and paranoia, of the literal and psychological kinds both, and does it with his usual toe-tapping quirkiness....
Classic Rock Album: Simon & Garfunkel, *Bookends* (1968)...looking at this album against the popular sound of its year, it comes off as a notable contrast...fairly short songs, not much to hear by way of lead guitar jams...yet Paul Simon is always working both the zeitgeist of his times, and all times, and so the news in these songs is both sharp reportage and fresh as this morning's dawn...
Storybook Time: Continuing Chapter Twenty-two 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 Jelly Bean Bandits, an obscure psychedelic band from Newburgh, New York, one I found online in one of the 'net's many (still-existing) secret places...they rock, they are fun, their one self-titled album from 1967 is trippy pleasure...it's been a long week of job-hunting, getting to these three hours is a wonder...

On this week's show:
New Rock Album: The Music, *Strength in Numbers* (2008)...this still-young UK band knocked me out when I found their music earlier this week...they like to rock, and they rock well, they like weird instrumentation, and strange atmospheres...they are talented musicians, loud or soft...delightful stuff....
Classic Rock Album: Julian's Treatment, *A Time Before This* (1970)...According to Allmusic.com, this album was "the idea of keyboardist and leader Julian J. Savarin (who wrote all of the material)...was to construct an opera of sorts around an Atlantis-like lost civilization of sorts"...what emerges from Savarin's imagination (he later left music behind to become a successful sci-fi novelist) is a trippy dream-tale, lush and expansive, charms from its period in tact and needed now...
Storybook Time: Continuing Chapter Twenty-two 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 Honeybus, a now-obscure sweet pop rocking band from the UK that for a moment back in the late '60s was regarded by many as comparable to the Beatles...there will be some Alan Watts wisdom and Chris Rock bite to this show...July past the halfway point and my report is that I will likely again be putting my shoulder to some payjob's wheel very soon...but not during these wonderful three hours!
