Put yer inner child to sleep...I mean, to bed. Heh. Yeah. To bed.

Bad Sister Heidi is in control this evening, and she's womanning the mixing board here in the studio as well, spinning sexy/funky/trippy/rockin' happy-fun-party-time music. Father Angus is also in the mix, fear not! and the Reverend Velveteen, though consigned to slackless official radio work at this time, may well pop her head in to subvert things even further.

A dark and proggy night...

This evening's New Disk at Nine, John McLaughlin's Industrial Zen, has prompted Father Angus, tonight's principal experimenter (with assistance from the Reverend Velveteen; Bad Sister Heidi being off getting off somewhere), to delve into the depths of his collection for notions and fancies that will fit the moment.
