Welcome back my fellow Alchemical maniacs. It’s been a year since I have been bringing you my musical explorations for you to enjoy. The past month has been an extended trek of Allied Forces sessions with the Skeevy Side Show which has been a ton of fun, but has lead me away from my favorite pastime, making up a movie soundtrack vibe and immersing you in that world. Well, this week is a return to that format with a modification of a show I had set up for you a couple of weeks ago when I had to air a rerun because our studio was getting a facelift with new equipment. Wow. It’s looking really good at Radio Valencia. This show got it’s own make over when I decided to merge the Twelve Monkey scenes into what clearly was a sub theme to the animal song tracks. It begs a question in the overall arc.
Do we, the human race, really deserve to be a surviving species? It’s a quintessential question as we continue to develop systematic methods of self-destruction and then end up fighting to counter them. Intriguing isn’t it.
