A groovy yet sorta sloppy show, mostly from a scripting angle since quality control was compromised after some shoddy proofreading lead to a few unreadable passages. I knew trouble was down the line after I found a few uncommon typos. The full plunge occured when the Department of Redundancy Department kicked in with the soundtrack to the movie soundtrack arose. Ick. The headbutt to the microphone midway didn't help.
However, after a little Venture Brothers action, the show started well with the double vinyl combination of The Constantines and The Zoobombs (keen listeners can hear the turntable startup on the latter track).
The main feature was on Jerry Goldsmith, specifically for his work on the original Planet of the Apes movie from 1968, which starred the late Charlton Heston (who had a mini-tribute in the previous week's episode). Goldsmith's soundtrack was sampled obviously on the U.N.K.L.E. track that followed the feature, though I played the obviously sampled version as my first track ever on the first episode of the show, so I opted for the remix by Cornelius, which fits in its own way thematically.

Backing up the concert listings (which had its own minefield of duplicates and bad date substitutions on my part — the script was appended with a "Who wrote this?" towards the end) was R.E.M.'s New Orleans Instrumental #1, a nice respite amongst the heavy pensiveness on their sombre opus Automatic for the People.
