On this week's show:

New Rock Album: Megafaun, *Gather, Form and Fly* (2009) . . . this North Carolina band offers a beguiling album that ranges from front porch folky jamming to trippy electronic darkness . . . lyrically strange & powerful & moving . . . for those looking for the rock music experimentation of the 1960s carrying on today, Megafaun is a group to hear and to keep track of . . .

Classic Rock Album: Phil Ochs, *Pleasures of the Harbor* (1967) . . . Ochs began his career in the early 1960s as a folk singer, a very good one . . . when Dylan went electric in ’65, and the Beatles turned the recording studio into a new kind of instrument, Ochs decided to widen his palette, and this album resulted . . . a dark album, the work of a man whose heart took in closely the ills of his world, its wars, its brutalities, its quieter kinds of suffering . . . a beautiful album, not quite anything else in its own time or since . . .

Storybook Time: Epilogue to *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 Bauhaus, a seminal post-punk rock band from the late ‘70s and early ‘80s . . . sometimes a soul lies in its own darkness, its worst murk of fears & regrets, and time leaves and time is gone . . . but time is an illusion, and so is any claim that hope does not seed any hour . . . remember this . . .

On this week's show:

New Rock Album: Ganglians, *Monster Head Room* (2009) . . . Sacramento's Ganglians are new & out of the box exciting . . . their debut album starts harmoniously soft and sweet, then builds out, filling in its spaces with odder instrumentation, idiosyncratic lyrics, an enveloping atmosphere smoky with late-night hashish pipes and half-lit studio rooms . . .

Classic Rock Album: The Teardrop Explodes, *Kilimanjaro* (1980) . . . this was the debut album from the legendary English neo-psychedelic band (led by Julian Cope), and it is killer from first track to last . . . limitless energy, a sort of literate trippy music good for dancing or dosing, or both . . .

Storybook Time: Conclusion to *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 7th annual holiday broadcast brings to close this year's run of shows . . . 2009 was the first full one without the Idiot King, and yet it was proven that restless humans will forget bad days quickly, find their way into new challenges quickly, for better or worse . . . wishing everyone all the best of the Season of Lights . . .
