Show 55 - "Quiz Winners"

[Rick and Roll]

While I'm on "vacation", six loyal Aural Moonies will be taking over the show. On Sunday, I'll be in Kentucky, and on Monday during the airing I'll be driving to Pennsylvania to see Moses. Maybe I'll say hello during the next "Fusion Reactor"....

Feel free to add your comments to your section of the show!

If you want to check out how this came about, go back a few threads. And the show this week:

Sharcnorris:

ELP - The Barbarian
Niacin - Red
UK - In The Dead of Night
By the Light of Day
Presto Vivace & Reprise

Handpicked with care by Sharcnorris, we start off the show with a bang. The ELP is a favorite of mine. to sharc! Love that UK.

Nadina:

Bruce Cockburn - Actions Speak Louder
Fish - What Colour Is God?
IQ - Sleepless Incidental
Peter Gabriel - Washing of the Water
Marillion - Living With the Big Lie
Christy Moore - City of Chicago

We've sandwiched two Nadina uploads with Moon songs. The Bruce C. is an instrumental, and the Fish record "Sunsets On Empire" is another Rick favorite. Nadina says she couldn't pick a Bruce C. tune with words cause she couldn't decide. Looking forward to meeting Nadina on Thursday....

Yesspaz:

Brainrock Hijacks the Rickter Scale
Tenacious D - Tribute
Jars of Clay - Frail
Switchfoot - Lonely Nation
Small Good Thing - Peep Show Eccentriques
Robert Earl Keen - Feelin' Good Again
Audioslave - Show Me How to Live
Brainrock Returns the Rickter Scale

Some Southern-fried prog for your aural pleasure. The Tenacious D is a hoot. Along with Rogor Mortis, one of two sections that have their own intro and outros...

Teerminator:

Bellaphon - Firefly
Ricardo Zappa - Frammenti
Larry Mitchell - There Was A Time

Not a quiz winner, but Teerm helps me out every so often on finding songs. All instrumentals (by accident), some tasteful stuff here. If it weren't for OU football, that prog scene out there would be booming!

Rogor Mortis:

Radio Mortis Discount
Nick Magnus - Sophie's Song
Khan - Stargazers
Kayak - Rings of Saturn
Mew - Chinaberry Tree
Finneus Gauge - Early Sun
XTC - Rook
Radio Mortis Discount

A subtle set from the dude from Denmark. The XTC is from Nonsvch, the masterful trilogy of XTC records (along with Skylarking and Oranges & Lemons). The Khan is awesome, and the others are nice, airy lilts.

Wojtek:

Echolyn - Georgia Pine
Dream Theater - Octavarium

The Polish Prince gives us two winners, the first from a band I am deeply into. I still need to get the new one! The Dream Theater is great. Non-fans of James LaBrie will be pleased...he's toned down a lot. A 24-minute classic epic to take us home.

Thanks all for some great music!
