(*** = special)

Artist	Track	Album	Label	Comments	Special
Set 1: the old radio show portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Escape	The Country Of The Blind "The Country Of The Blind" by "Escape"	originally broadcast November 26, 1947		"...surrounding you - closing in on you - is a band of blind men who want your eyes." It's a love story. Of course. And we get to hear the hauntingly voiced Peggy Weber, as Medina Sarote.

Mic break between Sets 1 & 2. Background music for 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: newer looks at some classic pieces and people. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Henry Kaiser	Dark Star/The Other (Side B) (Listen: Pop-up)	Those Who Know History Are Doomed To Repeat It	SST	More active and a little more rock than the original. Definitely some late 1980's downtown New York aspects to this interpretation, but that's what you get when you also have musicians like Joey Baron and Kermit Driscoll backing you up.
Junior Brown	Guit-Steel Blues (track 11) (Listen: Pop-up)	Guit With It	Curb	Very Hendrix influenced. Like a country-tinged Hendrix. Great, full sound, and Junior is famous for his deep voice for a reason.

Mic break between Sets 2 & 3. Background music for 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: building up to punk, and fast. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) "Set 3: building up to punk, and fast."
Plastic Crimewave Sound	Grade Ceased (Side A) (Listen: Pop-up)	Grade Ceased (a 7")	Plastic Crimewave Sound	Slow, sludgey, psych, and even a little punky.
Error	Transplants (CD #2, track 17) (Listen: Pop-up)	Punk-O-Rama 8	Epitaph	Punk-hop.
Rocket From The Tombs	30 Seconds Over Tokyo (track 8, ended at -0:27) (Listen: Pop-up)	The Day The Earth Met The Rocket From The Tombs	Smog Veil	David Thomas, pre-Pere Ubu, Cleveland 1975. Raw, twisted, wild, swirly, acid-rocky, and speeded up in the middle - the best part, of course! At times, even magical.	***
Transplants	Quick Death (CD #2, track 5) (Listen: Pop-up)	Punk-O-Rama 8	Epitaph	Quirky, clubby, almost hip-hop funk also.
Distillers	I Am A Revanant (CD #1, track 1) (Listen: Pop-up)	Punk-O-Rama 8	Epitaph
Guitar Wolf	Lightning's Melody (track 13, begun at -3:13) (Listen: Pop-up)	UFO Romantics	Narnack	Raw, fairly high speed rock, gloriously raucous and sustained.
NOFX	American Errorist (I Hate Hate Haters) (track 10) (Listen: Pop-up)	The War On Errorism	Fat Wreckords	Neat hi speed guitar phasing.
Raised Fist	Get This Right! (CD #2, track 13: ended at about -0:23) (Listen: Pop-up)	Punk-O-Rama 8	Epitaph	Heavy, choppy, and fast.
Adrenalin O.D.	WWIV/Rah-Jah (track 13, begun at -1:46) (Listen: Pop-up)	Phat N' Old	Glue	The fastest for the end. Recorded live on Pat Duncan's show.

Mic break between Sets 3 & 4. Background music for 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 4: the antidote to Set 3. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) "Set 4: the antidote to Set 3."
Loren MazzaCane Connors	The Art Of The Blues (tracks 7-11 only) (Listen: Pop-up)	The Little Match Girl	Road Cone	At times haunting, delicate, softly reverbed and ambient, quiet, like a slow imaginary floating western.	***
Surface Of Eceyon	Freeing The Winds (track 6, faded out by -1:04) (Listen: Pop-up)	Draggyn	Strange Attractors	Starts quiet and moody, then builds in a gently propulsive way to something glorious and transcendent.	***
Overhang Party	Barcelona (CD #2, track 2) (Listen: Pop-up)	Other Side Of	Paaphysique	Quiet and melodic, it builds but stays gentle. Beautiful.	***

Mic break between Sets 4 & 5. Background music for 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 5: some great Eastern European brass band sounds. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Boban Markovic Orkestar	Hava Naguila (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up)	Live In Belgrade	Piranha	It's fast, it's slow, it's exuberant, it's great.

Mic break between Sets 5 & 6. Background music for it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
