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.
