Ferrara Brain Pan sincerely regrets to inform you that this week’s program is the final episode of Rock ‘n Roll Station, and in honor of this occasion the show is wholly devoted to the recordings of the England’s Hidden Reverse triumvirate of Nurse With Wound, Coil and Current 93. And so we hear two hours of occult transmissions in the realms of dark ambient, neoclassical folk, warped electronica and other variegated acoustical derangements.

Rock ‘n Roll Station formerly aired each Thursday morning from 8:00 to 10:00 AM, bringing you two hours of free-form programming in the classic spirit of 1960s underground radio.

Podcasts for all past episodes will be archived in perpetuity at the podcasts page.

The present edition of Rock ‘n Roll Station is ardently devoted to the music of San Francisco’s own Mark Kozelek, best known as the leader of Red House Painters (1992-2001) and Sun Kil Moon (2003-present). Kozelek is one of the hardest working singer-songwriters in the business, self-releasing dozens of recordings on his own Caldo Verde label when he’s not busily touring the globe as a performing artist. We hear representative selections from Kozelek’s discography in anticipation of his solo concert at the Great American Music Hall on March 1 as part of this year’s Noise Pop festival.
