On this week's show:

New Rock Album: Fanfarlo, *Reservoir* (2009) . . . this UK band's debut album is a combustible mix of ballads and rockers, weird instrumentation, and a range of charming, strange moments . . . their sound is kin to that of indie rock heroes the Arcade Fire, but their group spirit is their own, and a fine one indeed . . . it will be exciting to hear the work they do in the future as they mature in their art and craft . . .

Classic Rock Album: The Rolling Stones, *Their Satanic Majesties Request* (1967) . . . partly inspired by their then-rivals the Beatles, and their recently released *Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band*, the Stones came out with their own version of psychedelic rock, and it sounds like no other album of the time . . . playful, bleak, awash in lyrsergic instrumentation . . . after this album, the Stones went back to the hard-edged bluesier songs they were known for, but try this one . . . it shows a rare, and compelling, side of their talents . . .

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

Readings from *Labyrinthine* fixtion & *Many Musics* poems . . . & this week's featured artist is The Beatles, cuts from their 2003 remixed version of 1970's *Let It Be*, re-titled *Let It Be... Naked* . . . this show is back on the air after a desert festival hiatus . . . the autumn is arriving slowly to the Pacific Northwest, and with it all the possibilities of a sharper, deeper time . . . here's to its coming . . .

On this week's show:

New Rock Album: Phish, *Joy* (2009) . . . when Phish called it a day in 2004, they'd been touring together and making records for over 20 years . . . they were tired, they were not having as much fun anymore . . . they'd grown from boys to men as a single unit, and it was time to move apart for awhile . . . they had some personal issues to work out too, especially lead singer/guitarist Trey Anastasio . . . then time passed, and there was a recurring sense in each of them that it might be time to resume their musical travels again . . . this album is part of that reunion that occurred this year . . . I am happy to say, as a deep lover of their music, that it's an honest, at times great, album . . . tells bits and pieces of their time away, and expresses, as beautifully as can be done, their happiness as being a band of brothers again, on the road, renewing nights with their phamily . . . I look forward to the next show I can be at, and I know I'll be smiling and crying at the same time . . . for all that has gone by, and everything to come . . .

Classic Rock Album: The Peanut Butter Conspiracy *The Great Conspiracy* (1968) . . . this Los Angeles band made some beautiful rock music for a short stretch in the late '60s . . . a bit in the mold of Big Brother and the Holding Company, with a fine female lead singer and a crackerjack band . . . definitely a band to lift from the muck of forgetfulness and bring to light again . . .

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

Readings from *Labyrinthine* fixtion & *Many Musics* poems . . . & this week's featured artist is Yes, and cuts from their classic 1973 live album, *Yessongs* . . . the autumn is seriously setting in, and its weighty loveliness affects the hours and one's thoughts . . . time an illusion, yet time a truthful presence in the heart . . .

On this week's show:

New Rock Album: The Clean, *Mister Pop* (2009) . . . back in August this show featured a classic album by this great New Zealand band one week, and a new album by Clean spin-off band The Bats another week . . . now The Clean themselves are back together and with a fucking great new album . . . it's an record full of beautiful psychedelic rock, sweet at times, funny at times, a most endearing new release, and one that adds proudly to their great catalogue of records . . .

Classic Rock Album: Tom Petty, *Full Moon Fever* (1989) . . . speaking of great albums, great great albums, this is one of Tom Petty's pure classics . . . he made it with most of his Heartbreakers band, so it reflects their jingle jangle sound, and he made it during the peak of his Traveling Wilburys days, so it contains songs with gorgeous harmonies & longjawed humor . . . so load your bowl full of good green ganja, kick back, and get on this ride . . .

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

Readings from *Labyrinthine* fixtion & *Many Musics* poems . . . & this week's featured artist is The Charlatans (a fine '60s San Francisco band that never quite made it big like the Dead or the Airplane), and cuts from their 1969 self-titled album & an equally cool album of 1966 demos . . . the leaves are falling and scattering all over this city, and the cool air is sweet as fresh cream . . . this time of year is short and precious, and urges the soul to lift, to watch, to listen, to praise . . .
