The Chill Room, 5 September 2009, 00:00 PST on killradio.org

160k, 2 hours 10 minutes, in two 65 minute segments.

"The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom."
- William Blake, The Proverbs of Hell

Tonight we take on Music That Fails. I'm not talking about "bad music," this is about music that is so ambitious and over-reaching that many consider it to fail. Music that is over the top. This is also about when rock'n'roll grew up into rock, when it became serious. Each song played is an example of how far out it got. History, science and art all in one fine package.

Set list of part one:
The Driving Stupid-Horror Asparagus Stories
Phil Ochs-The Crucifixion (studio version)
The Beatles-It's All Too Much (complete unedited take May 26-June 2, 1967 mono)
The Buckinghams-Susan
Eric Burdon and the Animals-Sky Pilot
Sonny Bono-I Just Sit There (Inner Views)
Jefferson Airplane-The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil (7")
The Monkees-Star Collector

The Chill Room thanks everyone who ever turned me on to music, to wfmu.org for inspiration, to my listeners, to Dave Parker, to Jason and Sarah, to podomatic and to killradio.

You need to get both parts for the whole. And comments are requested.

Podcast Summary

The Chill Room has been part of the L.A. underground radio scene for over ten years, beginning on the infamous KBLT-FM pirate station in 1997. The Chill Room is live collage, with your mind in mind.

I do the Chill Room on killradio.org, and have been here for years. Radio is an extraordinary medium in which you can actually make magic and conjure spirits without even knowing that you're doing it. Somebody got lucky, but it was an accident. The Chill Room is collage, art, literature, science and history rolled into one. (Secrets sometimes are necessary. The Chill Room is designed as a radio narcotic. It will comfortably assist you in relaxing and withdrawing into the sleep, but it can also be habit forming. Some have been known to experience withdrawal symptoms missing only one week of shows. Use with skill and abandon. Eyes wide eagle vision. Disappear like the tail of a lizard.)
