THE DOOMED & STONED SHOW

~Season 5, Episode 43~

On this episode, we tap once again into the rich well of early American science fiction television to bring you the story of the 'Appointment on Mars' from Tales of Tomorrow, which ran from 1951-1953. Three astronauts arrive on the Red Planet, not to advance science as much as to search for riches -- uranium, to be exact. When they find the mother lode, petty suspicions and annoyances lead to a fracture in the cohesiveness of the team, with tragic results. Is an extraterrestrial entity to blame? Find out this week on The Doomed & Stoned Show, with a selection of music by Aleph Null, Black Asteroids, Cities of Mars, Demon Head, Cosmonaut Fuzz, Electric Wizard, Holy Monitor, Jucifer, Jukebox Monkey, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, and Mars Red Sky.

This song has been described in the past year by some as Black Asteroids' magnum opus. Clocking in at almost fifteen minutes in length, it's easily our most ambitious work to date and immediately became the number that closed almost all of our live shows since it's completion last February. It also answers the question people generally wonder or mutter to a friend when they stumble upon us in a venue:

Why on Earth do they have glockenspiels on stage?

When this album showed up in my email as being released I had to check it out. Instantly I was hooked on these 10 mouth watering and hard rocking songs. (more…)
