Show 70 - "Dinosaur's Spacewalk"
 

September 2004, when the show hatched from it's egg, it needed a name. The man who coined the show "The Rickter Scale" was Milwaukee's best (no not the beer:eeeek ) Dinosaur.....:rawk:

I made a comment about giving him a block of time on a future show. As we know, Dinosaur time is a bit off from standard time. About a month ago he sent me an email, cashing in his airtime. He even had the quote to back it up!:yougo

ok enough smilies...

Every song you'll hear on this show was picked out by Dinosaur, except for the final three. The theme is a celestial one, as I'm sure you will see...

(I was thinking about throwing in the Acuity song "Milwaukee", but it's 25 minutes and it deals with a Jeffrey Dahmer-type...not exactly in keeping with the theme)

Here we go:

Tony Levin - Phobos
Porcupine Tree - MoonLoop2
Ayreon - Amazing Flight
Hidria Spacefolk - Jahwarp
King Crimson - The Sheltering Sky
Knight Area - Beyond/The Gate of Eternity
Mountain Mirrors - Battle Nebula
Syzygy - Distant Light
Bozzio/Levin/Stevens - the Sun Road
IQ - Guiding Light
Michael Gotz - Equinox Moon
Jade Warrior - Moontears
White Willow - Paper Moon
Gamalon - Starlite
Retroheads - Starry Night
Joe Satriani - Starry Night
Shakary - Starless Nights
Camel - Highways of the Sun
Renaissance - Carpet of the Sun
First Band From Outer Space - Make Yourself Heard for the Rest of the World
Quarkspace - Outerspace Highway
King Black Acid - Into The Sun
RPWL - Trying To Kiss the Sun

There were a million others to choose from, but I think this is a great set. the song titles mesh into one another. There was some time to fill because I nixed Steve Unruh (I played the song requested twice in the last few months here)..so I added three:

Return To Forever - Beyond the Seventh Galaxy
Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Sky High
Crack the Sky - Nuclear Apathy

Make no bones about it!

I'm not an expert, luckily, and this is heavily off-topic, but I think the guy was killed by a violent cellmate years ago.

Perhaps he was deliberately put into that particular cell so that things would go the way they did.

But back to happier issues...

I wondered what happened to the guy...but as Rick said, my time scale is, uh, expanded, and current events are sometimes not so current.

I'm not so sure "Nuclear Apathy" has a celestial theme but then, when they spit :doncab do you wash their floors and pray :angel: that they don't spit no more?

Quiet Sun's: Mummy Was An Asteroid, Daddy Was A Small Non-Stick Kitchen Utensil would have been celestial and roughly the same playtime length. BTW, I heard an 801 track this morning on the moon which was a ripoff of this Quiet Sun track which is why I mentioned here and now.

Re: Show 70 - "Dinosaur's Spacewalk"
 

Crack the SKY....that's why I picked it....sure there's a million we could have picked......

wasn't Quiet Sun and 801 the same? Manzanera, that is....:thumbsup:

edit...

OK I got it now. East of Asteroid was the song. It's a re-done version of that song. Phil Mazanera was the Quiet Sun guy and of course the main man in 801. Hence the re-done song.
