Artist Track Album Label Year Format Comments Images Special Approx. start time

Set 1: the blues, the surf. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) "Set 1: the blues, the surf."

Richie Allen And The Pacific Surfers Rumble (track 12) (Listen: Pop-up) The Rising Surf Sundazed I like the bluesy guitar in the middle.

Jonathan Kane BQE (track 1) (Listen: Pop-up) "BQE (track 1)" by "Jonathan Kane" I Looked At The Sun Table Of The Elements Sustained, warm & bluesy, propulsive in its own special way, bit of a western feel. From a preview of his upcoming CD. I'm really happy for him: I think he's found his true musical style at last. ***

The Lost Patrol When Stars Collide (track 10) (Listen: Pop-up) Lonesome Sky (no label) Easy tempo western tinged surf rock (or something...), kind of sentimental. Play it at a slightly elevated volume. I'm really happy for The Lost Patrol as well. ***

Mic break between Sets 1 & 2. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)

Les Chakachas Love is like a Violin (track 4) Arriba! RCA International Phat, sentimental sound. Feels like it's the slow song at the record hop.

Set 2: 44 minutes of golden heaviness. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)

Nadja Bug / Golem (track 1) (Listen: Pop-up) "Bug / Golem (track 1)" by "Nadja" Truth Becomes Death Alien 8 Slow, dark, beautiful in its way, some soft vocals from time to time waaay under, even peaceful. ***

Om On The Mountain At Dawn (track 1) (Listen: Pop-up) Variations On A Theme Holy Mountain Easy tempo, a bit like old Black Sabbath, sweet and close to a golden sound.

Mic break between Sets 2 & 3. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)

Les Chakachas Love is like a Violin (track 4) Arriba! RCA International Phat, sentimental sound. Feels like it's the slow song at the record hop.

Set 3: the first old radio show portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)

Radio City Playhouse Betrayal "Betrayal" by "Radio City Playhouse" Originally broadcast August 30, 1948 (no label) On the air from 1948 - 1950, most stories were action-related melodramas. This one, though, is a human interest story about a 1940s street kid with a good heart and the cop that befriends him. Contributing writers to the series included Ray Bradbury, Cornell Woolrich, and Agatha Christie. ***

Mic break between Sets 3 & 4. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)

Set 4: often quiet, often quietly beautiful. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)

William Basinski (no title: track 14) (Listen: Pop-up) Melancholia Musex International Melancholic, sure. But also beautiful, gentle, even comforting, "a love letter to a broken world". ***

Set Fire To Flames The Thing Between Us Is A Rickety Bridge Of Impossible Crossing (CD 2, track 9: played from -5:24 to -1:35) (Listen: Pop-up) Telegraphs In Negative / Mouths Trapped In Static Alien 8 Spare and beautiful, slow and ambient.

Tom Recchion The First Thing To Crawl On Land (track 14) (Listen: Pop-up) I Love My Organ Birdman Fades up slowly to softly ambient, quiet, a slow dawn breaks over the land.... ***

Grouper Where It Goes (track 9) (Listen: Pop-up) "Where It Goes (track 9)" by "Grouper" Way Their Crept Free Porcupine Society A hymn-like lullabye in its way, quite sentimental. ***

Organum Sanctus I (track 1: ended at -1:13) (Listen: Pop-up) Sanctus Robot Warm, somehow inspirational, slightly deep surges, organ-like tones, the uplift needed to end the set. ***

Mic break between Sets 4 & 5. Background music played during it:

Set 5: the second old radio show portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)

Pete Kelly's Blues Gus Trudeau "Gus Trudeau" by "Pete Kelly's Blues" Originally broadcast August 22, 1951 (no label) A tough story of crime, Prohibition, and Dixieland music, starring Jack Webb. No happy ending here. A movie was also made out of the series, directed, you guessed it, by Jack Webb.

Here's one good quote: "The sun hadn't come up yet and the night was too tired to care."

Here's another one: "He's a quiet little guy - wouldn't give you the sweat off an ice pitcher." ***

F/i In The Garden Of Blanga (track 1) (Listen: Pop-up) Blanga Lexicon Devil Echoey and phased quiet guitar intro with an acidy edge, becomes psych rock, instrumental. ***
