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.

Saturday Night Punks & Funk

No.132, aired August 3, 2011. This episode commemorates my Saturday Night of live entertainment. Unfortunately, SNFU called in sick to their concert, but the remaining four bands on the bill were all great. I picked up bargain-price CDs by Regina’s Royal Red Brigade and Red Dear’s Kroovy Rookers. I will have to pick up CDs by the Delinquents and Clusterfucks at a later date.

Then, on my stumble home down Albert St., I heard somewhere a band playing Neil Young’s Down By The River, with a Pink Floyd song, Comfortably Numb I think, mixed in. I located the venue and was treated to an amazing funky set of originals & covers by the Root In Fluents on a patio under the lights. An exquisite finish to my night out!

Also read some poetry by J.H. Prynne.
