Synaptic Anarchy!
In this episode, Jeff laments the demise of the comedy album. Once upon a time, they were huge sellers. No longer, though. This fact did not, however, dissuade Jeff and his friends from making, as a pure labor of love, a dark and edgy comedy album some thirty plus years ago. In this episode, Jeff pulls the project back into the light to see if any of it holds up.

Episode # 11 – The Intolerable Acts and the Constitution
The Intolerable Acts were a series of five acts passed by Parliament in 1774 that were designed to punish the Massachusetts colonists who dumped tea into Boston Harbor to protest the Tea Act. They were a key development leading to the outbreak of the Revolutionary War in April 1775. Many colonists saw the Intolerable Acts as a violation of their constitutional rights, their natural rights, and their colonial charters. They, therefore, viewed the acts as a threat to the liberties of all British American colonists.

Boogie Back to Texas
Wednesday, 6-7 PM
Free-associating Woodstock
We all get songs stuck in our heads, and the prevailing advice is to put another song in there and the original one will go away. The CSNY version of Woodstock was stuck in Boogie Back host Geoff Fletcher’s mind, so he came up with another song.
But the process went amok when a loop formed between the new song back to Woodstock. The result is a show with songs sparked by different lyrics from Woodstock like child, rock and roll, garden, land, year, shotgun, devil – you get the idea.
Tune in for Buffalo Springfield, Shawn Colvin, Slaid Cleaves, James Cotton, Kacey Musgraves, Robert Plant and more. It will be an adventure in music.

Sunday, 11 – midnight
After the Hills Divide
What turns a land into a landscape — for who — from who — how come? As artist Rodney McMillian has said: “There are always addendums, footnotes, asterisks, italics. That's what the landscape is.” This episode is a coming-to-terms with the feeling that there is less and less distinction between spectacle and non-event in our contradictory age — and as a consequence, any clear distinction between the thresholds of dance-oriented and ambient electronic music. What sonic landscapes are even possible (or improbable) where the eventful and the ordinary have lost any traction on the real? In this episode, through the music of Crespi Drum Syndicate, Verraco, and Eisebelle, we find that the dancefloor always unfolds upon a landscape, its celebrated peaks flattened into plateaus of continuous intensity, while ambient music absorbs the charge of catastrophe without ever announcing it. So, join the party — trip on its fissures — crash on its contradictions — and we will see where we are in the end.
