The Opperman Chronicles, Pt. 1 (Satan is My Wardrobe)
Edwin Torres welcomes special guest deejay Paul Opperman, who shares his sonic tangents as the Watts Prophets listen to Allen Watts heating up summer haikus in the 50s while his many friends bring assorted madness to Evangelist Sheila and her old radio; meanwhile Evangelist #2 will let God turn it around for you as Louise Huebner seduces witchcraft's emotional bondage spell, just in time for the Louvin Brothers to announce that Satan is real, when unexpectedly Kris Kristofferson reminds us to beat the devil as Loretta Lynn wears her little red shoes, and finally, the masses become improbably saved by the reductive chanting of Edwin's and Sharon Mesmer's What Is This Shit?
