p.m.
One of Jello Biafra's favorite albums, The Sleeper's 1981 LP "Painless
Nights," will be the featured recording on this week's show. A now
out-of-print remnant of the Bay Area's neo-psychedelic, post-punk scene,
"Painless Nights"

music in the '80s and '90s. 

SCANDAL IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH on Northern Hemisphere Live, Sunday 5-7
p.m.
This week's show will be a discussion of the recent scandal in the
Catholic church. Issues to be examined include: How well have the Vatican
and domestic ecclesiastic authorities handled the situation? What short
term and
long term remedies are appropriate? How do Catholics feel about their
faith and their church in light of the recent turmoil? Listeners are
invited to call in and participate.

MEMPHIS on the Backyard Barbeque, Sunday 7-8 p.m.
Alt-country/honky-tonk blues/all-American rockers Memphis will be hangin'
out, shootin' the breeze, maybe playing some tunes live in the studio on
this Sunday's Backyard BBQ.  They might bring some revealing insight on
what it was like to be the band playing between the Smithereens and Molly
Hatchet at a recent, local BBQ festival, too! 

TIMOTHY PRUDHOMME, "With the Hole Dug" on the Inside Track, Monday 9 p.m.
