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 ) Dinosaur.....

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!

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!

Far out, Rickter. And thanks! I owe you one.
And Dahmer was nabbed before I moved here. Hope he dislikes prison food.

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 do you wash their floors and pray 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.

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....

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.
