On this week's show:
New Rock Album: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, *Mojo* (2010) . . . It's been 8 years since Petty & the Heartbreakers' last release, & this time out they have opted for a run at the blues . . . the result is a sprawling, ambitious, frequently exciting record that shows this band hasn't slowed down or begun to rust . . . some songs hit the first time around, some after a few listens, but either way, it's a great & welcomed return by a legendary rock group . . .
Classic Rock Album: Bow Street Runners, *Bow Street Runners* (1970) . . . This Fayetteville, North Carolina band put out just one relatively obscure album that has, happily, resurfaced in the past few years . . . take some fuzzed-out guitars, classic organ, a few horns (even a few backward loops), throw in some trippy lyrics & good rock singers, male & female, and you have a record worth recovering from the dust of years gone by . . .
Storybook Time: Continuing Chapter Five of *The Brotherhood of Eternal Love, From Flower Power to Hippie Mafia: The Story of the LSD Counterculture* by Stewart Tendler & David May . . .
Readings from *Labyrinthine* fixtion & *Many Musics* poems . . . & this week's featured artist is Sting, a selection from his many, many great songs . . . finally returned to Boston, finally moved into a new place, finally settling in, finally getting to the business of resuming this radio program. The word "gratefulness" comes to mind again & again of late. What newly possible . . . indeed . . .

On this week's show:
New Rock Album: Shout Out Louds, *Work* (2010) . . . Swedish indie rock band with their third release, pull out all the stops . . .this album is a hard pretty pretty ride . . . its bright, moody, acoustic charms can be attributed at least in part to producer Phil Ek, who previously worked with Band of Horses & the Shins . . . gets better & stronger, track by track, listen by listen . . .
Classic Rock Album: Taste, *Taste* (1969) . . . This Irish power trio featured guitarist/vocalis Rory Gallagher, 20 years old & at the start of his long career . . . they sound cut from the mold of Cream, and in fact opened for them on their farewell tour . . . raw, bluesy, & very likable psychedelic work, the kind that lingers in the ears a long while . . .
Storybook Time: Chapter Six of *The Brotherhood of Eternal Love, From Flower Power to Hippie Mafia: The Story of the LSD Counterculture* by Stewart Tendler & David May . . .
Readings from *Labyrinthine* fixtion & *Many Musics* poems . . . & this week's featured artist is the Wallflowers, selections from their excellent work . . . feeling like this is the fourth phase of my living in Boston (when I visited here from Connecticut, when I moved here, when I lived far but remembered here fondly, & hereon), & I believe in these early days it may be the best one of them all!
