Artist Track Album Label Comments Special
 
Set 1: rock from easy to heavy. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Religious Knives  Luck (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Resin  No Fun Productions  Quiet-ish but dark, sort of slow & druggy rock. They're like Godot: "I waited too long, but you didn't come."   
Robert Plant & Alison Kraus  Fortune Teller (track 9) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Raising Sand  Rounder  Kind of a drugged-out version of the classic song.   
Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound  The Chocolate Maiden's Misty Summer Morning (track 8) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Ekranoplan  Tee Pee  Mellow rock.   
And The Lefthanded  Rocket Rock (track 3: faded out by -0:27) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Death Before Distemper 2: Revenge Of The Iron Ferret  DC Records  Catchy and punchy electronic rock, bit dreamy. From the soundtrack to the movie.   
Cosmic Psychos  Guns Away (track 3) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Oh What A Lovely Pie  Amrep  Sustained, hypnotic in its way.  ***  
Marble Sheep  Raise The Dead (track 3) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Message From Oarfish  Captain Trip  Sustained heavy rock, they're having fun. The title of the song makes an unintentional tie-in to the subject matter of the next set - the old radio show portion of the evening.   
 
 
Mic break between Sets 1 & 2. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Dubfire  Emissions (track 3)   Favoriting Expansion / Contraction  Minus     
 
 
Set 2: the old radio show portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Quiet, Please  Shadow Of The Wings   Favoriting Originally broadcast April 17, 1949  (no label)  This episode: a dying child and her deathbed conversation with the Angel Of Death. Get out a towel, because this is a true tearjerker, but it's one with a happy ending.

The series is now considered by many to be 1 of old-time radio's best science fiction / horror series – if not THE best. It was always very reductive: very few people were in any episode, and all the action centered around 1 extraordinary actor: Ernest Chappell.

Excerpts about Quiet, Please from Dunning's Encyclopedia Of Old-Time Radio:

"...unsung and little-heard in it's day...Creator Wyllis Cooper was radio's best practitioner of an almost surrealistic dramatic form....His characters walked in a fuzzy dream world where the element of menace was ripe and ever-present...."

All in all, superior radio.

Mic break between Sets 2 & 3. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Dubfire  Emissions (track 3)   Favoriting Expansion / Contraction  Minus     
 
 
Set 3: sort of dark, sort of techno, sort of funky. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Plastikman  Consume (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Consumed  Novamute  Dark, reverberant, atmospheric.   
Muscleheads  Phosphorescence (track 8) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Death Before Distemper 2: Revenge Of The Iron Ferret  DC Records  Really good, dark, electronic, funk aspect, softly acidic vocals.  ***  
Ryoji Ikeda  Matrix 2.4 (CD 2, track 4) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Matrix  Touch  Experimental & electro-funky, deep at times. The 4 tracks in a row we hear are actually part of 1 much longer work.   
Ryoji Ikeda  Matrix 2.5 (CD 2, track 5) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Matrix  Touch  Experimental & electro-funky, deep at times. The 4 tracks in a row we hear are actually part of 1 much longer work.   
Ryoji Ikeda  Matrix 2.6 (CD 2, track 6) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Matrix  Touch  Experimental & electro-funky, deep at times. The 4 tracks in a row we hear are actually part of 1 much longer work.   
Ryoji Ikeda  Matrix 2.7 (CD 2, track 7: faded up at -1:35) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Matrix  Touch  Experimental & electro-funky, deep at times. The 4 tracks in a row we hear are actually part of 1 much longer work.   
Naw  Cloning (1 blood made 2 remix) (track 6) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Aidan Baker: Remixes  Arcolepsy  Druggy & techno-y.   
Forensic featuring MC Plague  Demented Flows (track 4: begun at +:10, ended at +2:33) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Hard Sessions 2  Shadow  1 of the 2 best tracks on the CD - the other, "Inferior" is also by these guys. And it's way great.   
 
 
Mic break between Sets 3 & 4. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Dubfire  Emissions (track 3)   Favoriting Expansion / Contraction  Minus     
 
 
Set 4: the psych rock portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Black Angels  Snake In The Grass (track 11) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Directions To See A Ghost  Light In The Attic  Easy tempo, bit spaced and almost low-key psych rock, resonant & acidy.   
F/i  The Hot Shop (track 9) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting A Question For The Somnambulist  Strange Attractors  Psych rock, getting a little faster.   
The Heads  Handlar Med Jonesie (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting (no title)  (no label)  It's from a 2-track split on-tour CD with Wooden Shjips. This song: a slow & spacey-loopy start, gradually builds to heavier, acidy & more intense. The Wooden Shjips song is also really good.   
 
 
Mic break between Sets 4 & 5. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Dubfire  Emissions (track 3)   Favoriting Expansion / Contraction  Minus     
 
 
Set 5. (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Phil Niblock  Not Yet Titled (CD 2, track 3) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Touch Three  Touch  Treated trumpet & harmonics, builds and gets more active, almost rock-like, didgeridoo-like trumpet, best song on the first 2 CDs.   
Sunn O))) + Boris  Blood Swamp (track 6) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Altar  Southern Lord  Opens like hearing distant industrial feel down a long metallic corridor, builds a little to gradually shifting & surging, it's most like Sunn O))) by themselves, sudden quiet and fade out just before end.   
 
 
End of show mic break. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
Sunn O))) + Boris  Blood Swamp (track 6)   Favoriting Altar  Southern Lord  Time was up, so I just talked over the end of the song.
