Second Broadcast

August 5th, 2005 brought another brilliant Dark Forest episode into my hands. It was definitely a nutty (so nutty!) broadcast with yet another extensively eclectic mixing of songs and singers. Possibly the most obscure track played was a scratchy 78 transfer of Henry Thomas' "Bulldozer Blues."
This particular broadcast is best known for having played two of DJ Rickster Rick's all time favourite songs,"Black" by Pearl Jam and "A Change Is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke. It should also be noted that quotes from the 1981 film "The Four Seasons" were played at random throughout the evening. Other tracks included "Hard Act to Follow" by Split Enz, The Collins Kids' "Party," Boy George "Bow Down Mister," "Clampdown" covered by The Indigo Girls, "It's a Shame" by The Spinners, and Rosemary Clooney's "Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home."
In between Rickster Rick talked a lot of horse hockey, stuff, shit, blab, and whatever else came into his head. Regardless, with each Dark Forest broadcast, it draws the listener in with a taste of what they soon grow to desire of much, much more.
