Third Anniversary Special

No.146, aired November 16, 2011. As usual, Naval Aviation In Audio celebrated its anniversary with a showcase of the best musical artists its host had no knowledge of before the past 12 months. Many short tracks from the Emetics "Minute Album" were used to bridge the various punk rock and indie rock releases, plus as in past anniversary specials homage was paid to Frank Zappa's Lather album, the three-CD release that inspired Naval Aviation's violent approach to musical genre.

R.I.P. Flattus Maximus

No.145, aired November 9, 2011. This was the annual "Remembering The Present" episode, featuring passages from Noam Chomsky's speech titled "An American Addiction" and two World War II speeches of Winston Churchill preserved on the audiobook "The Road To Victory."

This episode paid homage to Cory Smoot - the last and greatest "Flattus Maximus" lead guitar player for GWAR - with three songs that showcase his incredible shredding. In honour of the departed Smoot, GWAR retired the Flattus Maximus character.

Happy Death Day, Flattus Maximus.

Fire & Chains

No.144, aired November 2, 2011. This was one of those episodes where the themes fell beautifully into place as the episode aired. I planned to play some of the hellish first disc of Zappa's Make A Jazz Noise Here, and the creation myths from Ovid's Metamorphoses (which was played from audiobook) happened to contain references to infernal destruction and hard iron - the rest followed in due course ...
