Antifreeze
No.151, aired December 28, 2011, featuring live readings from Cambridge Avant-Garde poet Keston Sutherland’s book Antifreeze, which, bizarrely enough, I discovered was last used for this program on December 29, 2010 – must be something about that book that invokes the end-of-time – or else this is the time of year I start to feel cold (and therefore need antifreeze!).
This was a special episode in that I played all of the remaining tracks from Lungbutter’s classic 37-track CD Available Now that I had never played before on the program, including their 5 “Public Service Announcements.” The end of Available Now features a strange cluster of lyrical themes related to the idea of chemical ingestion & mortality – antifreeze, brainfreeze, mouthwash, birth defect, coroner – fun stuff!

Strange Celestial Roads ... or Nationalist Fervor?
Episode no.77 celebrated the height of summer by playing all three tracks from Sun Ra’s 1979 jazz-rock exploration Strange Celestial Roads. To add a parallel strange journey, Joseph Conrad’s Heart Of Darkness was played along with Sun Ra, sometimes in the foreground, as if Conrad was on stage with the band, and sometimes receding to the backround, as if you were in a jazz club and were hearing Conrad telling his dark tale at the next table.
And to acknowledge July 1 (which began at the end of the program), we heard some national-themed Canadian punk rock.

Lust in Space
Episode 39 took Naval Aviation in Audio way beyond Uranus & out into the Milky Way, featuring several tracks from Lust in Space, the brand spanking new CD of our Galactic Overlords, GWAR!!! Also included some portions from William Shatner's Star Trek audiobook Captain's Glory, read by Shatner himself, recounting (in 3rd-person!) the adventures of Captain Kirk. Naturally, the show played out with Kirk, the Enterprise & all its crew being horribly slaughtered by GWAR in a comical orgy of destruction.

Lungbuttered Souls
Episode 20 aired April 1, 2009, featuring the music of Lungbutter, an anticommercial dada-rock combo that apparently thrived in 1990s Regina without me knowing about them.
