The Executioner’s Rite Of Spring

No.163, aired March 21, 2012, the annual “Rite Of Spring” Episode, where an innocent audiobook is sacrificed to the punishing rhythms of Stravinsky’s violent modernist ballet. This year’s sacrificial victim “The Four Disciplines Of Execution,” a corporate manifesto by Steven R. Covey and Chris McChesney, was rudely interruped with songs by The Subhumans, Capleton, and some tracks from Voivod’s recently uncovered early masterpiece, To The Death ’84.
