  2. The Earth is Made of Glass

    In "The Earth is Made of Glass," Joseph Cotten stars as man who commits murder to find out if Ralph Waldo Emerson’s reflections on universal compensation are true.

    Joseph Cotten As the episode opens, Nurse Adams and Dr. West are discussing Mr. Richard Steel, a patient who has just died. She asks him what should be done with Mr. Steel’s personal items. The doctor looks through Mr. Steel’s possessions and comes across a diary and begins to read….

    From Mr. Steel’s diary, we learn that he and a friend had a intellectual dispute over the truth of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s 1841 essay Compensation. They argued over the theory that whatever a man does comes back to him—measure for measure. If one commits a crime, then that person will be punished in one way or another.

    Mr. Steel wanted to test that theory by committing a murder in such a way that the law of universal compensation would be proved nonexistant. So, he committed a murder.

    Now, he is dead.

    Was Emerson right?

    "The Earth is Made of Glass" was written by Silvia Richards and produced/directed by William Spier. Joseph Cotten starred. Also appearing were Joseph Kearns, Gale Gordon, Cathy Lewis, and William Johnstone. This episode aired on September 27, 1945.

  3. Beg, Steal or Borrow by Ray LaMontagne & The Pariah Dogs

    Fourth studio album God Willin’ and the Creek Don’t Rise (August 17, RCA) from critically acclaimed troubadour Ray Lamontagne is notable as the New Englander’s first self-produced project and, more significantly, as the official "debut" of his new co-billed band The Pariah Dogs: Jay Bellarose (drums), Jennifer Condos (bass), Patrick Warren (keyboard), Eric Heywood (guitar) and Greg Leisz (pedal steel guitar). Recorded at his western Massachusetts home over a two week period, Creek further burnishes LaMontagne’s reputation as both sterling songwriter and compelling performer and, with a solid group of seasoned players behind him, allowing him an even greater opportunity to stretch in each area.

    Beg, Steal or Borrow is a single from Ray LaMontagne’s latest album God Willin’ and the Creek Don’t Rise, releasing on Aug 17, 2010.

  4. You Won’t Let Me Down Again by Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan

    She’s a founding member of the Scottish alt-pop band Belle and Sebastian. He’s the gravel-voiced singer for Screaming Trees, Soulsavers and Gutter Twins. Together, Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan have released a pair of oddly affecting collaborative albums of moody cinematic ballads and ragged Americana: 2006’s Mercury Prize-nominated Ballad of the Broken Seas and ‘08’s Sunday at Devil Dirt. While Lanegan’s distinctive growl became one defining aspect of the albums, Campbell served as the driving creative force, writing and arranging the songs, serving as duet counterpart and producing the sessions. It was clear that Campbell was expected to do what Lanegan referred to as "the heavy lifting."

    You Won’t Let Me Down Again is a single from their latest album, Hawk, releasing on Aug 24, 2010.

  6. Incubus by Tim Pratt

    Read by Chris Reynaga

    Every forty or fifty years the incubus and the succubus got together to catch up. This time they met in a quiet little bar, and the incubus said, “Yeah, it’s been hard these past few years. I did porn for a while, but these days, with Viagra and everything, it doesn’t matter what kind of a woodsman you are, because anybody can pop a pill and perform superhuman feats of sexual prowess.”

    The succubus nodded in sympathy, invisible serpents twining in her hair. “I hear you. There’s easy money in internet porn, but it’s no good for me, I miss the personal connection. But you can still do the gigolo thing, right?”

  7. Monstrous Embrace by Rachel Swirsky

    Originally Published in Subterranean: Tales of Dark Fantasy

    I am ugliness in body and bone, breath and heartbeat. I am muddy rocks and jagged scars snaking across salt-sown fields. I am insect larvae wriggling inside the great dead beasts into which they were born. Too, I am the hanks of dead flesh rotting. I am the ungrateful child’s sneer, the plague sore bursting, the swing of shadow beneath the gallows rope. Ugliness is my hands, my feet, my fingernails. Ugliness is my gaze, boring into you like a worm into rotting fruit.

    Listen to me, my prince. Tomorrow, when dawn breaks and you stand in the chapel accepting your late father’s crown, your fate will be set. Do nothing and you will be dead by sundown. Your kingdom will be laid waste, its remnants preserved only in the bellies of carrion birds.

    There is another option. Marry me.
