On this week's show:

New Rock Album: The Veils, *Sun Gangs* (2009)...last heard on this program 5/5/2007 with their bright, brooding release, *Nux Vomica*, this British band is back, and good as ever...when they dirge, they dirge hard...when they rock, everything flies up into the air...they remind me of U2 in a way, having a singer with a flamboyant style and a band behind him that can play anything, but I'd say their new release easily outdoes U2's most recent effort...the Veils are a band that should get more recognition with the kind of impassioned music they make...

Classic Rock Album: David Gray, *White Ladder* (1999)...I had vaguely known this British singer/songwriter from his worldwide hit "Babylon," which I had mistakenly thought was sung by a woman of African descent...I was wrong!...the happy news to report is that "Babylon" is one of eleven great songs on *White Ladder*...Grey brings an amazing lyrical depth & breadth to his songs, & they are fleshed out by his own stellar musicianship and that of his band...a really delightful find, one who I'd recommend to anyone....

Storybook Time: Chapter Thirty-one 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 Death Cab For Cutie, songs from their excellent new EP, "Open Door" (which contains songs left off their recent *Narrow Stairs* album)...if one sniffs the zeitgeist right now, one would find a growing hope failingly held back by an old fear...to say better days are coming is not so much a simple faith in human decency or ingenuity as a belief that humans are restless and times move on, again and again, better to worse, worse to better, always moving on...

On this week's show:

New Rock Album: The Doves, *Kingdom of Rust* (2009)...this UK band is an old favorite of this show, their previous three releases having been featured in 2004 and 2005...their new album took me a few spins to catch into...more groove, less melody, is one way to put it...the lyrics are often harsh and dark...but it drives deeper and deeper upon each listen, how following it length produces a obscure catharsis...

Classic Rock Album: Palace Brothers, *Days in the Wake* (1994)...this album was an early project of the strange musical soul known as Will Oldham, who these days records and performs as Bonnie "Prince" Billy...this album is under 30 minutes, and feels very kin to Nike Drake and Iron & Wine...essentially, a poetical spirit alone with his demons and his guitar...his images & stories are haunted with sin, blood, pain, evil...one is left feeling cleansed rawly...

Storybook Time: Chapter Thirty-one 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 yet another L.A. Paisley Underground band to be featured on this show, the Three O'Clock, and cuts from their bells-high 1983 debut album, *Sixteen Tambourines*...we are come into the spring, the re-greening of the northern hemisphere...I believe there are green shoots of hope pressing out from the dark twists of the collective human psyche as well...hope is powerful and who would oppose it after awhile...who?

On this week's show:

New Rock Album: The Tragically Hip, *We Are the Same* (2009)...last heard on the 3/17/07 broadcast of this show with their excellent 2006 release, *World Container*, this Canadian band is back with a great new album...their music rings and harmonizes but at its heart is often very dark, haunted, often shatteringly beautiful...it's a pleasure to have new music by them to spin...

Classic Rock Album: Tea & Symphony, *An Asylum for the Musically Insane* (1969)...this short lived acid folk band released only two albums in their time...this album, their first, is pure lysergical loveliness...a vintage example of a rock band not giving a fuck for hit singles or commercial accolades, instead diving deep as possible into its instruments, its collective thoughts and hard-fueled imagination...another obscurity worth new appreciation...

Storybook Time: Chapter Thirty-one 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 Phish and cuts from their March 6, 2009 show at Hampton Coliseum in Hampton Virginia, their return to touring after five years off the road...so many of us not there that night were listening from afar, and thrilled to our bones that TreyMikePageFish are again roaring across the land...listening to Phish riles my heart and memories more than almost any other band heard on this show and, if lucky, many more of us will be soon again on some concert lawn grooving high to their tunes...bring back the Meatstick!! Whoa, shocks my brain!
