(*** = special)

Artist	Track	Album	Label	Comments	Special
Set 1: rock from easy to heavy. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) "Set 1: rock from easy to heavy."
Religious Knives	Luck (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up) "Luck (track 2)" by "Religious Knives"	Resin	No Fun Productions	Quiet-ish but dark, sort of slow & druggy rock. They're like Godot: "I waited too long, but you didn't come."
Robert Plant & Alison Kraus	Fortune Teller (track 9) (Listen: Pop-up)	Raising Sand	Rounder	Kind of a drugged-out version of the classic song.
Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound	The Chocolate Maiden's Misty Summer Morning (track 8) (Listen: Pop-up)	Ekranoplan	Tee Pee	Mellow rock.
And The Lefthanded	Rocket Rock (track 3: faded out by -0:27) (Listen: Pop-up)	Death Before Distemper 2: Revenge Of The Iron Ferret	DC Records	Catchy and punchy electronic rock, bit dreamy. From the soundtrack to the movie.
Cosmic Psychos	Guns Away (track 3) (Listen: Pop-up)	Oh What A Lovely Pie	Amrep	Sustained, hypnotic in its way.	***
Marble Sheep	Raise The Dead (track 3) (Listen: Pop-up)	Message From Oarfish	Captain Trip	Sustained heavy rock, they're having fun. The title of the song makes an unintentional tie-in to the subject matter of the next set - the old radio show portion of the evening.

Mic break between Sets 1 & 2. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Dubfire	Emissions (track 3) "Emissions (track 3)" by "Dubfire"	Expansion / Contraction	Minus

Set 2: the old radio show portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Quiet, Please	Shadow Of The Wings	Originally broadcast April 17, 1949	(no label)	This episode: a dying child and her deathbed conversation with the Angel Of Death. Get out a towel, because this is a true tearjerker, but it's one with a happy ending. The series is now considered by many to be 1 of old-time radio's best science fiction / horror series – if not THE best. It was always very reductive: very few people were in any episode, and all the action centered around 1 extraordinary actor: Ernest Chappell. Excerpts about Quiet, Please from Dunning's Encyclopedia Of Old-Time Radio: "...unsung and little-heard in it's day...Creator Wyllis Cooper was radio's best practitioner of an almost surrealistic dramatic form....His characters walked in a fuzzy dream world where the element of menace was ripe and ever-present...." All in all, superior radio.	***

Mic break between Sets 2 & 3. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Dubfire	Emissions (track 3) "Emissions (track 3)" by "Dubfire"	Expansion / Contraction	Minus

Set 3: sort of dark, sort of techno, sort of funky. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Plastikman	Consume (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up) "Consume (track 2)" by "Plastikman"	Consumed	Novamute	Dark, reverberant, atmospheric.
Muscleheads	Phosphorescence (track 8) (Listen: Pop-up)	Death Before Distemper 2: Revenge Of The Iron Ferret	DC Records	Really good, dark, electronic, funk aspect, softly acidic vocals.	***
Ryoji Ikeda	Matrix 2.4 (CD 2, track 4) (Listen: Pop-up)	Matrix	Touch	Experimental & electro-funky, deep at times. The 4 tracks in a row we hear are actually part of 1 much longer work.
Ryoji Ikeda	Matrix 2.5 (CD 2, track 5) (Listen: Pop-up)	Matrix	Touch	Experimental & electro-funky, deep at times. The 4 tracks in a row we hear are actually part of 1 much longer work.
Ryoji Ikeda	Matrix 2.6 (CD 2, track 6) (Listen: Pop-up)	Matrix	Touch	Experimental & electro-funky, deep at times. The 4 tracks in a row we hear are actually part of 1 much longer work.
Ryoji Ikeda	Matrix 2.7 (CD 2, track 7: faded up at -1:35) (Listen: Pop-up)	Matrix	Touch	Experimental & electro-funky, deep at times. The 4 tracks in a row we hear are actually part of 1 much longer work.
Naw	Cloning (1 blood made 2 remix) (track 6) (Listen: Pop-up)	Aidan Baker: Remixes	Arcolepsy	Druggy & techno-y.
Forensic featuring MC Plague	Demented Flows (track 4: begun at +:10, ended at +2:33) (Listen: Pop-up)	Hard Sessions 2	Shadow	1 of the 2 best tracks on the CD - the other, "Inferior" is also by these guys. And it's way great.

Mic break between Sets 3 & 4. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Dubfire	Emissions (track 3) "Emissions (track 3)" by "Dubfire"	Expansion / Contraction	Minus

Set 4: the psych rock portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Black Angels	Snake In The Grass (track 11) (Listen: Pop-up)	Directions To See A Ghost	Light In The Attic	Easy tempo, bit spaced and almost low-key psych rock, resonant & acidy.
F/i	The Hot Shop (track 9) (Listen: Pop-up) "The Hot Shop (track 9)" by "F/i"	A Question For The Somnambulist	Strange Attractors	Psych rock, getting a little faster.
The Heads	Handlar Med Jonesie (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up)	(no title)	(no label)	It's from a 2-track split on-tour CD with Wooden Shjips. This song: a slow & spacey-loopy start, gradually builds to heavier, acidy & more intense. The Wooden Shjips song is also really good.

Mic break between Sets 4 & 5. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Dubfire	Emissions (track 3) "Emissions (track 3)" by "Dubfire"	Expansion / Contraction	Minus

Set 5. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) "Set 5."
Phil Niblock	Not Yet Titled (CD 2, track 3) (Listen: Pop-up)	Touch Three	Touch	Treated trumpet & harmonics, builds and gets more active, almost rock-like, didgeridoo-like trumpet, best song on the first 2 CDs.
Sunn O))) + Boris	Blood Swamp (track 6) (Listen: Pop-up)	Altar	Southern Lord	Opens like hearing distant industrial feel down a long metallic corridor, builds a little to gradually shifting & surging, it's most like Sunn O))) by themselves, sudden quiet and fade out just before end.

End of show mic break. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Sunn O))) + Boris	Blood Swamp (track 6)	Altar	Southern Lord	Time was up, so I just talked over the end of the song.
