I liked ending the show with Burning Star Core because the album that song is from is called "Operator Dead... Post Abandoned" and since I left you in the cold robotic hands of KZSC's all-night mixer, I felt the title to be poingant and apt.

In this first episode I wanted to give a good width and breadth of the type of music I want to feature in later episodes. I played some of the more accessable, more mainstream music that I would still consider to be experimental in the first hour (Animal Colective, Of Montreal) along with some noiser things (Marnie Stern, Battles) and in the second hour paying my dues to the more ethereal post-rock layering and droning that is much more apt to the late-night hours. I want someone to be able to tune into SPSM past 2 AM and here some seriously out-there stuff.

Anyways, I'm going to begin assembling next week's playlist with a more math/noise-rock direction in mind, so stay tuned here for more information and KZSC for more great music!
