Parlour of Evidence: Transmission 76, 2013 November 27

It seems like it's been forever. Have you missed me? Or have you been listening live all this while? At any rate, this program happened one short [and long] week ago, on the eve of Thanksgiving, the program's [observed] birthday. Lady Catharsis and Catharsis Junior sit in, and occasionally say things.

"Physical Evidence" and "The Listening Parlour" converge in a catch-all feature I'm calling "Parlour of Evidence," because I am just that imaginative. Anyway, Lady Catharsis brings in The Early Recordings by Opal, about which I have a conspiracy theory that [surprise!] is as interesting as it is completely wrong. Turns out that Mazzy Star record technically has a 1990 copyright, which would date it a year later than The Early Recordings, which would of course mean that the Opal album capitalizes on nothing at all. Memory is a funny thing, and so is spoken word salad. My bad.

There's an inexplicable technical glitch that makes the last two minutes of "Grains of Sand" a new and interesting experience. Apologies for that too.
