On this week's show:

New Rock Album: Green Day, *21st Century Breakdown* (2009)...last heard on this show 2/13/2005 with their 2004 masterpiece protest album, *American Idiot*, Green Day is back with a follow up that matches its predecessor...ambitious, rocking, punky, soft, smart, haunted...Green Day took their time to make this album, brought all their demons and angels into the process, and have come up with a new and exciting work of art...

Classic Rock Album: The Doors, *An American Prayer - Jim Morrison* (1978)...a little late this year with the show's annual Doors album, and this one a little bit unusual too...five years after Jim Morrison died, the remaining trio of Doors recorded backing music to some of Morrison's '60s poetry, added other bits of music and dialogue, and produced a kind of homage to their old friend that stands, strangely and validly, as a Doors album....

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 Badfinger, a fine rocking band that Paul McCartney helped to bring to prominence in the late 60s and early 70s...with President Obama in the Middle East trying to bring peace to long-time combatants, and maybe the worst of economic days passing for much of the world, slowly but passing, one can't help but hope to hang on, better days coming not so much by prayer or luck, but with the ingenuity, imagination, and persistence humans can show when they decide to give a damn, not let the bastards inside and out run the ship...here's to ya if you're helping!

On this week's show:

New Rock Album: Harlem Shakes, *Technicolor Health* (2009)...debut album from a very good young band from New York...quirky, bouncy, & fun...but then something else too...I listened to this album on and off for some weeks before realizing I was listening to it over and over...hoping this band is together for many albums to come...

Classic Rock Album: The Police, *Zenyatta Mondatta* (1980)...this was the legendary UK band's third album, the one that put them over the top with the hit single "Don't Stand So Close to Me"...it's a strange album, has a couple of instrumentals, some forays into contemporary politics, and lots of strange, snappy, delightful music only these three players for a short time could make...

Storybook Time: Chapter Thirty-three 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 artists are Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood, cuts from their amazing reunion show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on 26th February 2008...it's one crazy fucking world out there, people shooting in every direction, but as a friend of mine said to me today: music is a damned miracle...hallelujah, brother!

On this week's show:

New Rock Album: Wilco, *Wilco (the Album)* (2009) . . . this is, flat out, Wilco's best album in years . . . they sound like they give a shit again, the loud songs rock, the soft songs sink deep, and there's even some especially weird ass Jeff Tweedy obsessional songs toward the tail end...for those who wondered if this great band could tighten up and fly high again, wonder not a second longer...they are back and they MEAN IT . . .

Classic Rock Album: The Grateful Dead, *The Grateful Dead* (1967) . . . the Dead were a long time ago one of a group of great San Francisco bands . . . they became something unique unto themselves, of course, but this first album catches them when they were part of a scene, with a sound not dissimilar from Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and the like . . . this is near to where the long, strange journey began, and it's a really good record . . .

Storybook Time: Chapter Thirty-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 Long Ryders, another great band from the Los Angeles Paisley Underground movement, a latter-day Byrds-y powerhouse...the weather in the Northwest has been cool and grey well into the late spring months...cool like what is needed for the human world to calm the fuck down and do right by itself...
