On this week's show:
New Rock Album: The Church, *Untitled #23* (2009)...I've been a fan of this legendary Australian psychedelic rock band for 20 years, and this show has featured their music more than half a dozen times, most recently their 2005 album *Beast With Two Backs on the 12/6/2008 broadcast...their songs are literate, elusive, sometimes hard and fast, sometimes dirge-like...one joins in their lysergic dream and finds amazing lands and secrets within...
Classic Rock Album: Tangerine Dream, *Electronic Meditation* (1970)...debut album by this long-lived German band, considered one of the originators of the experimental underground "Krautrock" musical genre...named for a line in a Beatles song, this band came out of the gate with this delicious, terrifying musical collage...strangely enjoyable, wordlessly deep...this will likely be the first of many TD albums featured by this show in times to come...
Storybook Time: Chapter Thirty-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 Fleetwood Mac and tracks from their fine 2003 double album *Say You Will*...I keep thinking lately: why the continuous rise and fall of the times? Why take it for granted that good times won't last? Is this the best we can do, reach for days when fewer of us are needlessly suffering? Can something happen this go-round that will break the cycle of feast & famine? I think it can, and it will involve many souls, and a lot of hard work. But some door is opening, again...

On this week's show:
New Rock Album: Bob Dylan, *Together Through Life* (2009)...the old bard's last new album was 2006's sprawling *Modern Times* (heard on this show 12/2/06)...he's back with a stomping blues-rocker...cranky, obscure, funny as ever, what makes this album burn high is that Dylan has a world class band backing him...no rust, no sentiment, Bob and his band mercilessly scorch through ten new tunes...his music is vital as ever...
Classic Rock Album: The House of Love, *The House of Love* (1988)...powerful debut by this UK outfit...driving psychedelic rock, in both its subtle and its rocking moments...amazing that it clocks in at barely over half an hour...this band reminds me favorably of another trip rock band, Australia's The Church (whose newest album featured on this show just last week)...both these bands prove that the 1980s produced rock music as great as times before then and since...
Storybook Time: Continuing Chapter Thirty-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 Gang of Four--a post-punk UK band that flourished especially in the late '70s and early '80s--and cuts from their amazing debut album *Entertainment*...the springtime around these parts pushes hope to the fore, insists that positive action can be fruitful...that, moreover, there being no fixed moral grounding to this world, no action or belief that girds all else, one can come at things in countless ways...why not hope? why not try? Why believe the book or person preaching despair?

On this week's show:
New Rock Album: Manchester Orchestra, *Means Everything to Nothing* (2009)...this indie rocking band from Atlanta, Georgia is charming as fuck, whether they are blasting it out or pulling back slow and acoustic...they are strange, they are great musicians, and they are worth a listen by everyone...
Classic Rock Album: Opal, *Happy Nightmare Baby* (1987)...Opal was a Paisley Underground band featuring David Roback and Kendra Smith...this was their sole album, a dark, dirty, beautiful, lysergical treat...while touring to promote it, Kendra Smith quit Opal, and Hope Sandoval took her place as singer...the band renamed itself Mazzy Star (another Paisley Underground band featured on this show, back in Feb 2009)...Opal's album stands brightly as Mazzy Star, if a little more obscurely...
Storybook Time: Continuing Chapter Thirty-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 Better Than Ezra, a New Orleans band with a luring '90s college rock band sound...it's been several weeks since this show was on the air, and SpiritPlants Radio had some rough days to pass through, but it's back on the air, and it is coming on strong with the summer taking over the Pacific Northwest...
