"The eighth sea is the one we sail above us all" gak's back, live, for 24 Hours of Radio Art, emphasizing the radio part of the art. In honour of the 75th anniversary of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and the 100th anniversary of the BBC broadcast of The Shipping Forecast, he weaves old transmissions tied to freely available information with attempts at local nautical news as various bursts of Morse code bounce around throughout with occasionally useful information. In light of recent news, old Venezuelan shortwave recordings bleed in with Greenlandic themes, so prepare to dot and dash the afternoon away. All Morse code, both pre-recorded, programmed live or then performed live with typos by gak except Radio Qatar: Oscar (Shortwave Nights, 2026) gak RADIO FREE EUROPE & OTHER GEOGRAPHIES CHANNEL A1.

For those unfamiliar with geisha, these are Japanese women trained in performing arts to entertain people with music, conversation & other skills.

From the Exploding Head Archives, this episode from 2013 celebrates the holidays in its own loopy fashion. This predates a single film theme, opting to hop around a fair bit. This includes the highly undocumented yet required December listening version of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas that aired on CBC radio some 30 years ago. Merry Crimble one and dang y'all! 01! George Slater: The Wassail Song (Peace Tower Christmas/Carillon Noël, 1979) Tapestry 02! gak: XHM #195 - Kindness to animals and your buddies (Exploding Head Movies, 2013) CITR 03! Dorothy Remsen: Variations Pastorales Sur un Vieux Noël (Harpist, 1967) Avant Extracting the true playlist will take some time since the originally filed sheets have been mangled from a prior version of the station's web server and my last draft of the script had many missing details that I likely filled in live 10 years ago. For now, roll with it and let the gift that this show is be unwrapped by your ears until I dig into the archives properly. radiofreegak@gmail.com www.citr.ca/exploding-head-movies https://mas.to/@100aire

For CITR's 85th anniversary, as I have taken up 18% of your Monday early evenings over that lifespan, this episode is an awkward Venn diagram of two episodes (2008 & 2013) that attempted profiles on one of my favourite film scores -- 1973's Black Belt Jones -- as both times, you can witness that raw campus radio vibe as inexperience battles then subsequent technical flaws. One day, I will do Jones right. Advisory: any product, service or event cited has long since expired.

This encore presentation of what originally aired 2013 April 1st attempted a ruse whereby per a new mandate, no music after 1950 could be played. This fell apart quickly for most fools but the overall vibe felt apt, especially as this May marks CITR's 85th anniversary so I've become a historic moment, or belong in a museum. Maybe both or perhaps a sick ward since I have a non-Covid summer cold; 23 skidoo!

We're in the midst of Hanukkah so since we got our counter-Christmas episode taken care of last week, this one focuses on the Jewish festival of lights though there are some songs about default holidays and December in the mix. Our soundtrack profile is not tied to Hanukkah per se but a very dear soundtrack to me: 1971's Fiddler on the Roof, the film based on the legendary musical. L'chaim! We had to hoped to do this episode live for the 2nd night of Hanukkah but Vancouver got a nasty winter storm and the roads are a mess, so commuting up the hill to UBC has been reported as treacherous. Hence, we air this on Thursday afternoon with a repeat on Boxing Day so some listeners can enjoy this during the 8 crazy nights along with the usual Monday evening spot. Chag Sameach! 1.

As the holiday season feels like it's becoming normal, for our 15th annual counter carol episode, we'll go abnormal as we profile the 1974 Canuxploitation film Black Christmas and all sorts of darker Yuletide material. We've lost some key cultural folks tied to Christmas and music, so embrace the mix. We're doing this early so you don't feel utterly weird so if past episodes were your baking soundtracks, this one might need some advanced kitchenwork.

For our 600th episode as Exploding Head Movies (DC for the Romans, 698 for long-time radio free gak listeners), we go mostly Gallic with music from Wes Anderson's 2021 film The French Dispatch. The podcast gods were amenable since I couldn't record this episode from home so we are successfully relying on the rebuilt server talking to the station logger properly to present what I feared would be a lost episode.

Prepped for this year's 24 Hours of Radio Art but missing a cutoff time, this is a superlong version of Alvin Lucier doing his seminal sound art piece I Am Sitting in a Room from a 1980 recording.

This will eventually air at a later time on CITR as part of a capsule radio art episode via Bepi Crespan's show, which you can listen on Fridays 2-3:30pm Pacific or anytime via https://www.citr.ca/radio/bepi-crespan-presents/

On January 17, 1963, the Fluxist Robert Filliou declared that art was born a million years hence when a man dropped a dry sponge into a bucket of water. Who was that man? It doesn't matter; he is dead but art is alive. Ancient life was all silence; we are all born into noise now.

Originally intended to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday but lined up nicely with both BC Day and the end to Pride Week in Vancouver, this episode goes into the weird fringes of a forgotten genre: Canadian disco! Montreal was a hotbed of disco in the late seventies and upon the global collapse, somehow the Canadian sound kept going. Amongst cheery & cheesy songs, we look at music from the 2011 film Funkytown which portrayed the Montreal disco scene. We also have a spaghetti western cover and an instructional piece on skating. Turn on the siren!

Bonus episode: I couldn't come up with anything for this year's celebration of art's birthday, but I did appear on Sara Lapsley's adaptation of H.G. Wells "War of the Worlds", most famously made into a radio play by Orson Welles. Along with me, there are appearances from Jon Wurster, Kaj Korvela and Jane Turner.
The film won 3 Golden Globes this past Sunday but its score is ineligible for an Oscar due to "too many composers". We look at The Revenant and some music from Ryuichi Sakamoto & Alva Noto. This supersized episode also dissects New Order's Blue Monday and mourns David Bowie (1947-2016) -- expect a longer profile later once I get more sleep than this long show.

Now time for a personal favourite: Vince Guaraldi and his music from not just A Charlie Brown Christmas, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, but other Peanuts media, including other TV specials and film. Plenty of melodic jazz for the young at heart, whether you were a Snoopy fan or not. There are other Christmas songs to counterprogram against your usual mainstream selection.

However, after some distracting asteroids and related audio material, the ship overheats as Korga plots a controlled crash into an uncharted sound system...
