On this week's show:

New Rock Album: Nada Surf, *Lucky* (2008)...it's been about two years since this New York band's last album, *The Weight is the Gift*, was featured on this show...they are back with another stunner, some of the best music of their dozen or so years at it...some bands reach a point where their hard work and musical gifts synthesize into a sense of music as flight, beautiful melodic flight...

Classic Rock Album: The Seeds, *The Seeds* (1966)...tis said this Los Angeles band was one of the first "garage rock" bands, or a prototypical punk band, and either or both may be true...their debut album is dirty, fun vintage rock, out of the gates they had something good going on...

Storybook Time: Continuing Chapter Twelve of *Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism * by Daniel Pinchbeck...

Readings from *Why?* fixtion & *Many Musics* poems...& this week's featured artist is Nirvana, cuts from their legendary 1994 *MTV Unplugged in New York* concert album...this new year is already wild with new expectations and hopes, the energy everywhere calls for change, and nobody is quite sure how things will look not long from now...good!

On this week's show:

New Rock Album: The Helio Sequence, *Keep Your Eyes Ahead* (2008)...This Portland, Oregon duo didn't quite catch me with their last album, *Love and Distance*, but on this new one I climbed right aboard...a bit folky, with electronic colorings, a pretty album with musical and lyrical depth...local boys make good...

Classic Rock Album: The Soft Machine, *The Soft Machine* (1968)...this UK band was in the thick of new-blooming Brit psychedelia, along with the Pink Floyd and Tomorrow...their first album is a real goody, trippy, funny, strange, a flow of sidewalks in and through your mind...

Storybook Time: Continuing Chapter Twelve of *Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism * by Daniel Pinchbeck...

Readings from *Why?* fixtion & *Many Musics* poems...& this week's featured artist is The Beatles, songs from their early years that hint toward later genius but also tell an amazing story in themsvles...as this year progresses, the spring nears, people talk of hope more often as possible, less as a fool's hustle...

On this week's show:

New Rock Album: Gary Louris , *Vagabonds* (2008)...The Jayhawks' frontman releases his first solo album and the good news for those dearly missing this 'hawks is that his music is still rich, and warm, brooding and wide-vista'd. A beautiful work.

Classic Rock Album: The 13th Floor Elevators, *The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators* (1966)...an exotic, delightful, sometimes terrifying trip into the mind of acid hero Roky Erikson and his band...there is wisdom in these tunes, gleaned from voyages deep into the margins...

Storybook Time: Continuing Chapter Thirteen of *Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism * by Daniel Pinchbeck...

Readings from *Why?* fixtion & *Many Musics* poems...& this week's featured artist is U2, cuts from their fantastic live album, *Under a Blood Red Sky*...this morning we looked out our bedroom window, long-curtained against the deep winter's blow...spring is really coming, it is evident even in February...
