Enigmatic Nocturnal Waves Phosphoresce On The Moonlit Shore Of An Inland Ocean

No. 136, aired August 31, 2011, during a Regina & area thunderstorm, featuring a live reading of Christopher Dewdney’s Time Wind.

Pyrotechnic blossoms of silver and gold ... lightning blossoms in the purple strata of distant storms.” Another happy accident was hearing the Animal Slaves sing “thoughts fall like rain” as heavy showers pelted the CJTR window.
