Wayne Newton [16:58]
"Summer Wind"
Summer Wind
Capitol Records T 2389 1965
A young Mr. Entertainment taking a pass at this Johnny Mercer number adapted from a German/Danish single by Gerthe Ingmann. I will forever associate this song with Martin singing this song at the end of The Simpsons episode Bart of Darkness (S06E01).

Thou [19:33]
"Grissecon"
Summit
Gilead Media relic 31 2018
An excellent reissue of Thou's 2010 album Summit originally released on Southern Lord, along with material from The Archer and The Owle EP released on Robotic Empire. I still think it is amazing that Thou were the first metal band to appear on NPR's Tiny Desk (minus lead vocalist Bryan Funck).

Be-Bop Deluxe [27:55]
"Heavenly Homes"
Sunburst Finish
Harvest ST-11478 1976
Some excellent melodic guitar dynamics on this track from Bill Nelson and co's third studio album.

"Heavy Metal Country"
Sunfish Holy Breakfast

EP from somewhere around the Alien Lanes/Under the Bushes Under the Stars era. On lovely translucent blue vinyl.

Earl-Jean McCrea [36:09]
"I'm Into Something Good"
Super Girls
Lake Shore Music OP 3507 1979
_As seen on TV! Forty original hits by forty original artists. In mono! Earl-Jean of the Cookies sends this original recording of the Goffin and King hit shortly thereafter by Herman's Hermits. _

1000 Homo DJs [38:56]
"Supernaut"
Supernaut
Wax Trax! Records WAX 9133 1990
Peak Industrial cover from Al Journgensen and friends. Certainly not as good as the Sabbath orignal but still makes an impact, though it does go on a bit.

Matt Sweeney and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy [45:33]
"Bed Is for Sleeping"
Superwolf
Drag City DC179 2005
Excellent collaboration between the two, with some excellent illustrations by Matt and Spencer Sweeney. Produced by Superwolfmen.

Jefferson Airplane [49:42]
"White Rabbit"
Surrealistic Pillow
RCA Victor LSP-3766 1967
Normally I would go with "Plastic Fantastic Lover", but as I've said before, sometimes you gotta go with the hits. Grace was evidently inspired by Miles Davis' Sketches in Spain when coming up with the music from this piece.

Survive [52:11]
"Sorceror"
Survive RR7349
Relapse Records RR7349 2016
Some tasty synthwave from the band behind the Stranger Things sound.

Shizuko and Shinichi Suzuki [56:31]
"Long, Long Ago (Bayly)"
Suzuki Violin School, Vol. 1 & Vol. 2
Summy-Birchard Music CSM 1387 1970
I was a child violin prodigy... until I had to read music.

Quintron and Miss Pussycat [57:10]
"Witch in the Club"
Swamp Tech
Tigerbeat 6 MEOW119LP 2005
Organ magic from the one and only Quintron and the amazing Miss Pussycat. I'll have to remember this track for next Halloween.
