Next Stop Mars

No.93, aired October 20, 2010.

Spoken word was from an episode of the Twilight Zone radio drama titled "Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up."

Probably one of the better episodes in terms of fortuitous synchronicity, one example being Coltrane's 10-minute tenor sax / drums duet with Rashied Ali (from Interstellar Space, 1967) being introduced with the words "If somebody is truly from outer space, they'll just go through the walls anyway, won't they?"

Small, Hot, Fast & D.O.A.

No.92, aired October 13, 2010.

This show was a primer for the D.O.A. show at the Republik on Thursday night. Their set included To Hell And Back, World War 3, R.C.M.P., The Enemy, This Machine Kills Fascists/Human Bomb, That’s Why I’m An Athiest, I Live In A Car, Waiting For You, Fucked Up Stevie, War (Edwin Starr), The Prisoner, Disco Sucks, Fuck You, The Hockey Song (Stompin Tom Conners), and probably a couple of others that I can’t remember now.

In this episode we continued the interplanetary voyage by visiting Mercury – the first six tracks in Part 2 all pay tribute to the swift & small in some way. As Sun Ra & John Coltrane never (to my knowledge) visited Mercury, the space theme was augmented with three tracks from Ornette Coleman’s Science Fiction and Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson’s Space Guitar.

Radiothon Spectacular

No.91, aired October 6, 2010. With words from Dr. Wayne Dyer’s audiobook Peace For All Of Us, which provided a few moments of nightmarish serendipty, particularly as Dr. Dyer discussed war-time xenophobia to the tune of Les Georges Leningrad’s horror-shrieks in Ennio Morricone.
