(*** = special)

Artist	Track	Album	Label	Comments	Special
Set 1: somehow, it becomes rock. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) "Set 1: somehow, it becomes rock."
Giancarlo Becuzzi & Fabio Orsi	North Of Me (at Midday) (track 1) (Listen: Pop-up)	Muddy Speaking Ghosts Through My Machines	A Silent Place	Starts quiet, like a soft industrial wind, then we hear a woman sing a folk song over it, soft (nice) at times.
Grassy Knoll	My Little Black Book (track 3) (Listen: Pop-up)	Short Stories	Sixty One Sixty Eight	Quiet --> Chris Grady's trumpet, rapid spoken words in mix.
S.Q.E.	The Wondrous Boat Ride (version 1) (track 5) (Listen: Pop-up)	The Abyss Stares Back	Influx	While the actual name of the group may be dubious at best (Smooth Quality Excrement), their music is not. This is a drone-y piece of at times haunt-y rock that's almost beautiful at times.
Pell Mell	Week Of Corn (track 5) (Listen: Pop-up) "Week Of Corn (track 5)" by "Pell Mell"	Rhyming Guitars	SST	Atmospheric, man sings snippet of "Jimmy Crack Corn".
Scenic	Angelica (track 9: begun -4:58, ended by -0:17) (Listen: Pop-up)	Acquatica	World Domination	Sunny & upbeat, instrumental, sustained.
Black Angels	Doves (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up) "Doves (track 2)" by "Black Angels"	Directions To See A Ghost	Light In The Attic	Huge drums open, big sound, reminds me of Galaxie 500.
Scenic	Angelica (track 9: slightly different edit) (Listen: Pop-up)	Acquatica	World Domination	Sunny & upbeat, instrumental, sustained.

Mic break between Sets 1 & 2. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Biosphere	City Wakes Up (CD 2, track 3)	Substrata / Man With A Movie Camera	Touch

Set 2: the old radio show portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
The Haunting Hour	Breakdown "Breakdown" by "The Haunting Hour"	Originally broadcast sometime between 1944 - 1946 - probably.	(no label)	I say "probably" because no records for this series were ever kept. So...noone knows exact show dates, or who the actors in each show were. Continuing with the insanity theme from last week's episode of Radio City Playhouse, this time it's an evil nurse and her helpers busy conspiring to drive a woman insane to get her inheritance - just like they drove her father into the asylum. Great camp.	***

Mic break between Sets 2 & 3. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Biosphere	City Wakes Up (CD 2, track 3)	Substrata / Man With A Movie Camera	Touch

Set 3: the psych rock portion of the evening. And no tiptoeing through the tulips. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Bardo Pond	Amen (track 8) (Listen: Pop-up) "Amen (track 8)" by "Bardo Pond"	Bufo alvarius, amen 29:15	Drunken Fish	From their first album. Most of it isn't very good at all, but there are 2 really good tracks. This is the long one: the "29:15" refers to how long this song is. It's more on the contemplative side.	***
Pink Fairies	The Snake (track 4: begun -19:53, ended -0:34) (Listen: Pop-up)	Finland Freakout 1971	MLP	My favorite album title of the year. And they back it up. This piece: prime, long & sprawling psych rock with, of course, a long guitar solo.	***

Mic break between Sets 3 & 4. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Biosphere	City Wakes Up (CD 2, track 3)	Substrata / Man With A Movie Camera	Touch

Set 4: quieter, darker. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) "Set 4: quieter, darker."
Bass Communion	pacific codex 2 (track 2: begun -19:40, ended -0:36) (Listen: Pop-up)	pacific codex	E=mc16	Like watching a distant storm on another planet as it builds and subsides....	***
Gas	Pop V (CD 4, track 5) (Listen: Pop-up) "Pop V (CD 4, track 5)" by "Gas"	Nah Und Fern	Kompakt	Slight throbbing feel, somewhat calming and softly comforting, but also slightly insistent. Gas = Wolfgang Voight.
Aidan Baker	when sailors die (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up)	the sea swells a bit...	A Silent Place	Slight rock feel, slightly more active than others on this CD, good at up to moderate volume	***

Biosphere	City Wakes Up (CD 2, track 3)	Substrata / Man With A Movie Camera	Touch

Listener comments!
	12:30am dave: i can see why the black angels track reminds you of galaxie 500. it's a lot heavier, but something about the vocals and the reverby guitar evoke that band. great track, great set.
	12:33am dave: and by 'reverby' i meant 'up to its eyeballs in tremolo'. also, i love this scenic track.
	12:45am molerat: Just poking my head in to say I really liked the first track (North Of Me).
	12:55am andy waltzer: wonderful show, andrew...love the music, the interesting banter ('rods and cones' is a new phrase for me!), and the radio drama is freaking me out. the mist on the bluffs (with some car light flashes) and the dark hazy sky in minnesota is really providing a landscape for the drama. anyway, long time....hope to see you next time i am around the station. grassy knoll sounded great, by the way. your distant cohort, -andy
	12:56am Andrew, your DJ: Molerat--- you'll also like other stuff on that CD, and I have a feeling I'll play at least some of it at some point.
	12:59am Andrew, your DJ: Andy --- it's an honor to know you're listening. I did listen to your recent fill-in here. Hope you can do it again soon.
	12:21pm mihai: hey - i'm really enjoying listening back to the 1/2 hour radio plays. thanks for digging them out and making them available. greetings from london.
