On this week's show:
New Rock Album: Minus the Bear, *Planet of Ice* (2007)...this Seattle band rocks classic and strange both, their album is a long flow, a pleasure, runs along the place where electronica and rock & roll bop & groove...a new discovery for me, and a wonderful one...
Classic Rock Album: Mason Proffit, *Movin' Toward Happiness* (1971)...one of the pioneers of country rock in the early 1970s, this Chicago band makes some amazing music, in both their lyrical and musical power...spirituality & beauty caught on tape for all..
Storybook Time: Chapter Twenty-four 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 Kansas, a seminal prog-rock band, their songs the soundtrack to many a night of shared bongs & tabs...wow, it's been nearly a month since the last broadcast, had a long travel deep into the desert...come back to the world's wheel and burden...time to turn anew and lift and go...

On this week's show:
New Rock Album: Calexico, *Carried to Dust* (2008)...I was waiting for a long time to connect with this Arizona band’s music, to become a big fan, and this new album is it! Beautiful, sometimes electric, sometimes acoustic rock with lovely Hispanic touches…this wonderful album deserves this band many more fans...
Classic Rock Album: The Velvet Underground, *The Velvet Underground* (1969)...this was the Velvets’ “quiet†album the one following the departure of John Cale from the band, the one Lou Reed determined would not sound like 1968’s *White Light/White Heat*…quieter, yes, but no less full of the Velvets twisted, grotesque beauty…amazing how hidden they were back then given what fantastic music they were making...
Storybook Time: Chapter Twenty-four 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 Flow, an obscure psychedelic band making fuzztone classics in obscurity back in New York City circa 1972…good news to share, people, is that I am again taking the wheel at a job, come upon some good luck in these shitty eco-nomic times…so no more bitching, time to get to the preaching of hope to come for all if we are brave enough, hopeful enough…

On this week's show:
New Rock Album: Conor Oberst, *Conor Oberst* (2008)...Oberst is the young musical lion at the center of the indie rock band Bright Eyes...his fine new album is one he recorded with a set of musicians down in Mexico, saying: "There were pigs and wild dogs in the street; lots of people on horseback. We took our gear up two dirt tracks into the mountains and we had this piano that we bought in Mexico City out on the patio. My whole modus operandi for the project was that it should be stress-free. If we got stuck on a song we'd just stop, light a fire, drink beer and watch the fireworks down below." It is strangely lighter, and just as heavy, as his Bright Eyes releases, catches the ear, hooks the mind, taps the heart.
Classic Rock Album: Giles, Giles, & Fripp, *The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles, & Fripp* (1969)...one way to look at this album is that it is a King Crimson precursor group (two of its members went on to form that band)...another way is to place its in its own time, when musicians could make a single album of both serious and silly music, could crack deep into strange sounds one moment, and the next speak in foolish tongues...this is a delightful, mostly forgotten, relic of that time, and worthy of another spin and listen...
Storybook Time: Continue Chapter Twenty-four 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 Suzanne Vega, a folk-rocking dynamo who first got famous in the late '80s making music pretty & solid as the best of that time, and poetical as the lyrics of Paul Simon & Bob Dylan... Well, I been one week on my job and all well, but watching the financial institutions of AmeriKKKa crash everywhere, & I'm glad to be drawing a check...scary times, it can get worse or we can change things...we can...YES WE CAN!

On this week's show:
New Rock Album: Mercury Rev, *Snowflake Midnight* (2008)...it's has been three
years since this upstate New York band's last release, the amazing *Secret Migration*...always
something of a psychedelic rock band, the Rev this time goes all out this time,
with a nine-song cycle that rides electric currents of melody to a place very on
high...
Classic Rock Album: The Who, *Who Are You* (1978)...This was the last Who album
with the original quartet of Townshend/Daltry/Entwistle/Moon...drummer Keith Moon's
hard-living years ended not long after this album came out...& if it contained
nothing more than its title track, easily one of the top ten rock songs of all time,
it would be worth having and cherishing...but this album's other songs shows
a band both feeling its age and the changing times while still rocking out like
few others have, before or since...masters at work...
Storybook Time: Continue Chapter Twenty-four 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 Bubble Puppy, a good but fairly forgotten hard-rocking psychedelic
Texas band (label mates with the legendary 13th Floor Elevators) who scored a Top
20 hit back in 1969 with their song "Hot Smoke and Sassafras," from their
sole LP, *A Gathering of Promises*...what to say this week with the American financial
markets crashing and a crazy old man who wants to be President running around stoking
fire-fights where none existed...just this: the world will genuinely be at least
a little better off, a little safer, a little more hopeful when newly-elected President
Barack Obama smiles at the world next January...YES WE CAN!!!
