Set 3: the old radio show portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Radio City Playhouse	The Promise "The Promise" by "Radio City Playhouse"	(no title)	(no label)	Originally aired September 18, 1948. The story: a domineering, evil husband has an accident and breaks his back, which only makes things worse. Can his wife stand up to him? And what about those voices in her head that keep telling her to kill him? Of course, he breaks his promise not to be cruel to her and, per his oath, is struck dead in bed. Semi trashy, campy and just a little hallucinatory. On from 1948 to 1950, Radio City Playhouse featured solid dramas, often with veterans of New York stage and radio (remember: there was no TV then!). Shows were often written by well known writers of fantasy and suspense, such as Ray Bradbury, Cornell Woolrich, and Agatha Christie. Shows often turned "on life and death situations, with strong male-female roles." (John Dunning, The Encylcopedia Of Old-Time Radio)

Zelienople	Bird's Face (track 8) (Listen: Pop-up) "Bird's Face (track 8)" by "Zelienople"	Stone Academy	Digitalis Industries	Gentle, slow, ballad-like, dark and atmospheric.
Brother JT & Vibrolux	Never Never (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up)	Doomsday	Siltbreeze	Calmer start, a psych rock ballad, some shimmer and beautiful sounds.
Warlocks	So Paranoid (track 3) (Listen: Pop-up) "So Paranoid (track 3)" by "Warlocks"	Heavy Deavy Skull Lover	Tee Pee	Easy and soft -> easy and warm psych rock, melody sounds romantic and like a love song, shoegazer stuff, alright.	***
Vocokesh	Eddie's Freakout (track 7) (Listen: Pop-up)	All This And Hieronymous Bosch	Strange Attractors	Slow and bit druggy, sitar in mix, fine psych rock, best at lower volume.
Sun Dial	Nova (track 8) (Listen: Pop-up) "Nova (track 8)" by "Sun Dial"	Acid Yantra	Acme	Psych rock, easy- start, Magical Mystery-like vocals and feel.

Beto Villa	Salvador (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up) "Salvador (track 2)" by "Beto Villa"	Father Of Orquesta Tejana - Vol. 1	Arhoolie	Mellow, sweet, and also a bit woozy. This CD: stuff from 1948 - 1954. From the liner notes: "Villa's orchestra was the only nationally successful Latino band mixing the American big band era sound with Mexican rather than Cuban music and adding a Chicano-Norteno flare to it."
Alfredo Linares y su Sonora	Cool (track 11) (Listen: Pop-up)	Gozalo! Bugalu Tropical	Vampi Soul	Peruvian boogaloo fever from the late 1960s.
Hallelujah Chicken Run Band	Manharu Chingamare (track 4) (Listen: Pop-up)	Hallelujah Chicken Run Band	Alula	Sweet and reverbed African rock from the 1970s.	***
