|||||||
| Roy Montgomery | London Is Swinging By His Neck (instrumental version) (CD 1, track 10) (Listen: Real) | Inroads: New And Collected Works | Rebis | Slow and spare phat western guitar over sort of shimmery hurdy-gurdy sounds, very relaxing. | |||
| UNKLE | Price You Pay (track 6) (Listen: Real) | War Stories | Surrender All | Soft and melancholic even in rock periods, big but slightly muffled sound. | |||
| Lycia | Surrender (track 18) (Listen: Real) | The Burning Circle And Then Dust | Silber | Darkish feel, floaty, slow. | *** | ||
| White Hills | Air Waves (track 2) (Listen: Real) | Glitter Glamour Atrocity | (no label) | Warm and often soft, dark, synthy, rock / psych / experimental, relaxed tempo. | |||
| Sun Dial | Slow Motion (track 11) (Listen: Real) | Shards Of God | Acme | A shoegazer psych rock ballad, slow-ish tempo. | |||
| John Mayall And The Bluesbreakers | The Super-Natural (track 11) (Listen: Real) | A Hard Road | London | Beautiful instrumental psych rock ballad, from 1967. Peter Green does the spectacular guitar. | *** | ||

Mic break between Sets 1 & 2. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Real) |
|||||||
| Les Chakachas | Love is like a Violin (track 4) | Arriba! | RCA International | Phat, sentimental sound. Feels like it's the slow song at the record hop. | |||

|||||||
| Yma Sumac | Chuncho (track 14) (Listen: Real) | Recital: Live In Romania 1961 | ESP | More Spanish-feel reverbed spaciness from Yma, fairly quiet. | *** | ||

| The Jesus Trip | The Problem (track 5) (Listen: Real) | The Morning Star | Bottled Rag | Beats-y, easy, kind of twisted and hallucinatory, even dreamy, pretty drugged out. | |||
| Alan Vega | Devastated (track 11) (Listen: Real) | Station | Blast First | "Dead on! Destruction!"...."How's the future gonna play out for our kids? Devastated!" Great loud. And part of a really fine album. | *** | ||
| Volt | Man On The Ground (track 6) (Listen: Real) | Volt | In The Red | Catchy and choppy. | |||
| Alan Vega | Gun God Game (track 6) (Listen: Real) | Station | Blast First | Intriguing and hallucinatory instrumentation. Great loud. | |||

Mic break between Sets 2 & 3. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Real) |
|||||||
| Les Chakachas | Love is like a Violin (track 4) | Arriba! | RCA International | Phat, sentimental sound. Feels like it's the slow song at the record hop. | |||

Set 3: the old radio show portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Real) |
|||||||
| Radio City Playhouse | The Promise | (no title) | (no label) |
Originally aired September 18, 1948.
The story: a domineering, evil husband has an accident and breaks his back, which only makes things worse. Can his wife stand up to him? And what about those voices in her head that keep telling her to kill him? Of course, he breaks his promise not to be cruel to her and, per his oath, is struck dead in bed. Semi trashy, campy and just a little hallucinatory. On from 1948 to 1950, Radio City Playhouse featured solid dramas, often with veterans of New York stage and radio (remember: there was no TV then!). Shows were often written by well known writers of fantasy and suspense, such as Ray Bradbury, Cornell Woolrich, and Agatha Christie. Shows often turned "on life and death situations, with strong male-female roles." (John Dunning, The Encylcopedia Of Old-Time Radio) |

Set 4: psych, from quiet to psych rock. (Listen to this set: Real) |
|||||||
| Zelienople | Bird's Face (track 8) (Listen: Real) | Stone Academy | Digitalis Industries | Gentle, slow, ballad-like, dark and atmospheric. | |||
| Brother JT & Vibrolux | Never Never (track 2) (Listen: Real) | Doomsday | Siltbreeze | Calmer start, a psych rock ballad, some shimmer and beautiful sounds. | |||
| Warlocks | So Paranoid (track 3) (Listen: Real) | Heavy Deavy Skull Lover | Tee Pee | Easy and soft -> easy and warm psych rock, melody sounds romantic and like a love song, shoegazer stuff, alright. | *** | ||
| Vocokesh | Eddie's Freakout (track 7) (Listen: Real) | All This And Hieronymous Bosch | Strange Attractors | Slow and bit druggy, sitar in mix, fine psych rock, best at lower volume. | |||
| Sun Dial | Nova (track 8) (Listen: Real) | Acid Yantra | Acme | Psych rock, easy- start, Magical Mystery-like vocals and feel. | |||
| Overhang Party | Kizashi (CD 1, track 5, faded out around -7:00) (Listen: Real) | Live Before And After 2004 - 2006 | Musik Atlach | More fine stuff from Overhang Party, fine guitar. | |||

Set 5. (Listen to this set: Real) |
|||||||
| Beto Villa | Salvador (track 2) (Listen: Real) | Father Of Orquesta Tejana - Vol. 1 | Arhoolie | Mellow, sweet, and also a bit woozy. This CD: stuff from 1948 - 1954. From the liner notes: "Villa's orchestra was the only nationally successful Latino band mixing the American big band era sound with Mexican rather than Cuban music and adding a Chicano-Norteno flare to it." | |||
| Alfredo Linares y su Sonora | Cool (track 11) (Listen: Real) | Gozalo! Bugalu Tropical | Vampi Soul | Peruvian boogaloo fever from the late 1960s. | |||

Can someone tell me where on this playlist are we at the moment? Loved that previous song, but what was it? Kinda frustrating to not know where we're at this point in time. Is this is what I get for tuning in late? C'mon guys, where are we now? Cool tumes, Andrew!!

Can anyone tell me why the noisier, more distorted, most scratchy, most obnoxious songs are the favorites of fmu listeners? What is wrong with us? Love this stuff, Andrew. Gonna have to catch the show again from the start on the archive.
