[Rick and Roll]

Sunday, 5/8 and Monday, 5/9

Let's finish the profile of Porcupine Tree started in ealy April. This time we will hear all of In Absentia, Deadwing, and Fear of A Blank Planet. "Fear" is brand new, and is quite exciting musically, but quite negative lyrically. The first tune will really make you think. On the long track Anesthesize, you'll hear about a minute of Alex Lifeson and later on on Way Out of Here you'll hear Robert Fripp.

The Tree is touring presently, catch them if you can.....

I was going to write more, but I got caught up watching them live on you tube and then a bunch of Mexican kids doing Iron Maiden....

This will be last of the artist spotilights for awhile. Look for about of month of full CD's, then some fun themes and artists.
