On this week's show:
 
New Rock Album: Okkervil River, *The Stage Names* (2007) . . . This is the first of two related albums this show will play this month by this fine Austin, Texas band . . . this week's album is a frenetic rocking drive of what singer Will Sheff calls a "universe of reference of signals, signs, and bullshit" . . . the intense melodicism of this band's music reminds me in the most positive way of the Avett Brothers . . . not many bands can reach so deep into the heart's hidden places & pull up such essential musical poetry . . .
 
Classic Rock Album: The Move, *Looking On* (1970) . . . The third album from this British rock band pulses with exciting sounds, with ideas, with hard charge after hard charge of music . . . a bit funny, a bit dark, musically labyrinthine . . . it is no wonder that Move members Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne, & Bev Bevan were by the release of this album already planning the launch of the prog-rock supergroup Electric Light Orchestra  . . .
 
Storybook Time: Continuing Chapter Nine 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  . . . & this week's featured artist is Eric Clapton, & sly bluesy delights from his 2010 album, *Clapton* . . . there is so much unnecessary struggle in the human world, so much that humans inflect on each other with no reference to Nature, the Universe, or any external compulsion . . . yet we do live in Nature, a hope that bides close every day, & we do have music, a magic that all but the most lost cannot avoid . . .

On this week's show:
 
New Rock Album: Okkervil River, *The Stand Ins* (2008) . . . This album is the companion piece to this Austin, Texas outfit's great 2007 release, *The Stage Names* (spun on this program one week ago) . . . the songs on this album mine various angles of culture—high, low, & weird—to produce songs of timeless beauty . . . ballads, rockers, big epics, fragments . . . the lesson between the lines is that beauty can be chased into any patch of woods with great return . . .
 
Classic Rock Album: Mountain Bus, *Sundance* (1971) . . . This great Chicago jam band had the misfortune of getting sued for using the word "Mountain" in their band name, even though their use of it predated the band Mountain by several years . . . the good news is that all these years later their music remains as fresh & beautiful as it was back then . . . their scorching version of the Grateful Dead's "I Know You Rider" is only one of many treats on this great rock album  . . .
 
Storybook Time: Chapter Ten 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  . . . & this week's 8th annual holiday broadcast brings this show's activities to a conclusion for another year . . . I can only hope that the new year brings the beginnings of a powerful cohesion among disparate people tired of the ways that leaders of men continue to use the fist & the bullet & the threat in lieu of the imagination of the mind & the empathy in every human heart . . . I do not blame one man or woman for the suffering in this world . . . I blame the systems erected in lethal combination with the helplessness so many of us feel as we acquiesce day by day . . . is there hope? There's always hope . . . where there's life, there's hope . . .
