On this week's 300th show:
New Rock Album: Cotton Jones, *Paranoid Cocoon* (2009)...Cotton Jones is a new band from Baltimore whose members come from another psychedelic band, Page France...the two bands share a love of jingly music and beautiful harmonies...AllMusic.com says Cotton Jones' sound has more of a rainy, Pacific Northwest US sound to it, perhaps similar to the Decemberists or the Shins...perhaps, but what's more pointed to say is that this album is quite a sugary treat with some lyrical bite to it...
Classic Rock Album: The Doobie Brothers, *The Captain and Me* (1973)...this classic album features such hits as "China Grove" and "Long Train Runnin'" but the whole album is worth hearing...the Doobies lay out eleven tracks that range from pretty instrumentals to flat-out rockers...for whatever one thinks of their later, slicker successes (I think much of it is good too), their early music is certainly off the leash....
Storybook Time: Continuing Chapter Thirty 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 Simon & Garfunkel, cuts from the live album of their January 22, 1967 show at Lincoln Center in New York, a delicious, deep, sweet, acoustical delight...it took 10 years and about 5 weeks to reach this program's 300th show...the world has been in trouble more so recently than usual, and hope gathers against cynicism, nihilism, and interests that make good coin from the suffering of many...I'd like to think that this is what the nadir looks like and the light just down the road there is the sun, not the neon of one more closing shop...

On this week's show:
New Rock Album: U2, *No Line on the Horizon* (2009)...It's been over four years since U2's "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," (broadcast on this program 11/14/04) arguably the weakest album of their catalogue that somehow won 8 Grammy Awards (another indication of the uselessness of such awards for actually honoring the best in any art form . . . Emmys, Oscars, etc. they're all media-driven crap)...the Irish boys took their time to follow up, realizing that a lot of people felt they had lost their long-time edge...their new album is a promising return to form, not to the level of "Joshua Tree" or "All That You Can't Leave Behind" but it does show them writing & playing with some real fire again...perhaps they are spending less time endorsing iPods and more in the studio with their instruments and each other...
Classic Rock Album: Eric Burdon & the Animals, *Every One of Us* (1968)...this was the last album by the original Animals and it is a good one, standing squarely in the flaring excitement and danger of its times...a trippy blues-rock that Burdon and his mates had been working deeper for years...people talk about how the best rock music reports the front-line news of the day, giving large events the humanizing perspective of individual hearts and souls...this album is one of that kind...riven beautifully with hope, anguish, sentiment, humor, and great music....
Storybook Time: Chapter Thirty-one 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 New York band Ambulance LTD, some tasty trip-rock tracks from their 2004 debut release, "LP"...there seems more than ever a disconnect between the widespread terror the mass media is saying has gripped the US and the world, and the growingly evident truth of the matter: down but not out, working anew toward better ground, knowing it will take time and believing it will happen...times have been bad long enough, and it's a long path ahead, but that is daylight up there, sure as the gift of life, that is daylight...

On this week's show:
New Rock Album: The Decemberists, *The Hazards of Love* (2009)...a long time favorite band of this show, this Oregon band was last heard on the 1/17/2009 broadcast with their excellent EP, *Always the Bridesmaid*...this time around, front man Colin Meloy and crew have fashioned a sort of indie rock opera about, as AllMusic.com puts it: "a girl named Margaret, shapeshifters, forest queens, and fairytale treachery"...simply put, another delight from this band on an even grander scale...musically gifted, funny, odd, obsessed...and look for them on tour, they put on a great show!
Classic Rock Album: Status Quo, *Pictures Matchstickable from the Status Quo* (1968)...this British band once hit the heights with their song "Pictures of Matchstick Men" (so wonderfully covered decades later by indie rock heroes Camper Van Beethoven)...this album is their first, trippy sweets to make the mind wander golden, glaring lands, and the hand reach for pipe, bong, or that special Alice in Wonderland sheet...a somewhat obscure classic that deserves new listeners....
Storybook Time: Chapter Thirty-one 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 Pacific Northwest US band The Lolipop Shoppe (originally called, more appropriately, The Weeds), and cuts from their sole 1967 album *Just Colour*, a vintage blast of hippyish punk devilry...spring 2009 has come, and the world is still shambling along, can't say the year is more sunshine than shadows yet, but there's lots of work left for each of us to do toward that goal...come, get some music in ya, it'll feel good!
