Holiday in Babylon

No.197, aired January 2, 2013. Featuring Michael Tencer’s Holiday In New York, Stuart Calton reading Out To Lunch’s F’Luke, and the complete Burnt Weenie Sandwich album by the Mothers of Invention, whose immaculate sandwich structure has been adopted in many forms in the programming strategy of NAIA. Title is a reference to the Book of Daniel, in which Hebrew youth exiled in Babylon become reluctant prophets and enjoy the favours of the king. Unplanned serendipitous moment was hearing the line from F’Luke “pushing us into a new dimension” to the accompaniment of Forbidden Dimension’s Invisible Dimension.
