Out of the Woods - Show #200 - 2-6-14
Feb. 10, 2014, 10:11 a.m.
This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length, but I try to keep them approximately 30 minutes in most cases.
Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk, from Arlo Guthrie to Aerosmith. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul

#674 - Sane Methods but Insane Purposes
Feb. 9, 2014, 7:54 p.m.

NATO3 Trial winds down & Coal Ash spill in North Carolina
Feb. 9, 2014, 3:09 p.m.
This week, we featured a segment by Sean Swain on sovereignty and consent of the ruled. We've begun archiving Sean's segments under the title "You Are The Resistance" on archive.org, and those can be found linked as they come out on http://seanswain.org
This was followed by a conversation with Emily who does support work the NATO3 about what's happened in the trial and what the next steps appear to be as sentencing approaches. Great news is that defendants Brent Betterly, Jared Chase & Brian Jacob Church were found Not Guilty of all of the terrorism charges, however they still each have felonies that stuck. Check out more at http://freethenato3.wordpress.com
Next, we speak with Johanna of Keeper of the Mountains Foundation, a grassroots group out of West Virginia that looks to the effects of Mountain Top Removal and coal extraction and burning on the environment, economy and people in Appalachia. Johanna shares some info on the recent Duke Energy Coal Ash Pit spill on the Dan River, near the North Carolina-Virginia border and what impacts can be expected from the 82,000 tons of toxic ash getting into a water source that provides for roughly 50,000 human animals, and uncounted non-humans and other life. http://www.mountainkeeper.org/
Finally, we'll hear An Unearthly Sacrament by the Marin-County-California-based metal project Radagast, their only release thus far. That'll be followed (really finally) by Destroyed By Ourselves from Katahajime from Allentown, PA.

EVIL SUSIE's YARD SALE of SECRETS!
Feb. 9, 2014, 2:27 p.m.
You know, people sometimes see me as being little more than a pair of jiggling boobs--but if they'd look up, they'd see a mirror image of the same seething bicameral action going on under my beehive hairdo, complete with brain cleavage to match!
In this episode, I use my own evil Recombinant Comedy⢠devices on myself, blasting my own words into rubble and reassembling them into a scenario that takes its own form....but this time I'm not in the driver's seat. From the very start, Evil Susie started taking the plot into wildly apeshit left-field areas like a fucking rampaging tank, dragging me along helplessly behind her--and what a goddamned ride it turned out to be! The soundcollaged bits form into madly veering fractals that twist and pretzel upon themselves, resulting in unforeseeable madness that gobsmacked even me. Going from the simple premise of the Flooze and Evil Susie spending some idle time together, the hemispheres of my brain erupted in all-out hammer-and-tongs orgy of shortsighted murderous mayhem, replete with flying dogs! Rump roast horrors! Dead sixth graders! And a mind-melting hidden history of the Early SubGenius Church!
So yeah...I suggest you strap yourself in good and tight for this dizzyingly gutsplitting romp, because you will be pissing yourself in hilarious ecstasy as the two Susies expose shocking secrets, sidesplitting shames, and jawdropping passions!
