 * Lucretia Saint-Saëns
 * Enni Morricone

[Nina Simone, "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"]

Lucretia: You're listening to KFAL, Barcelona midnight radio. What a fine night for a drive. Weather should be clear, tonight, and it's a good time to see a friend or head down to somewhere you've been thinking of checking out. Could surprise you. Or it could be a comfort, instead. Maybe neither. Maybe both. Leaving the comfort of home for the sublime uncertainty of a loved one's place... Or seeking the comfort of their presence, when the fear of loneliness gets too cold... Osmosis into equilibrium, so long as you're willing to let it move you. Find what you're looking for, or run from it instead. Gonna take a caller on the line, see what they have to say. You're on the air, baby.

Enni: Hey darling, this is Mouth of the Wolf with a song request. Can you play "Devil in Mexico" for me? Music like that keeps me from falling asleep during the long hauls.

Lucretia: Mouth of... oh... [laughs softly]. You got it, baby.

Enni: Thanks, hon. You're a delight.

Lucretia: Well, let's hope I don't get into too much trouble for it. ...But it'll be worth it.

[Murder by Death, "Devil in Mexico"]

Lucretia: How do people move? Towards pressure, or away? Saturation and stress, momentum and angle... What happens, when you get burning holes in your back from staring eyes? [popping noise] Might just be something for hooks to go through, to pull things out. Ride that wave, from density to open air, and hide in the emptiness 'til you don't know what's real no more. Or maybe the embrace of the crowd is warmer. I can't decide for you.

[Whiskey Folk Ramblers, "Just Like Heaven"]

Lucretia: Run into the arms of a dear friend, or a lover, if you're so inclined, and hope they don't hold you so tight you can't keep flowing. Gotta stop sometime, I guess, but unless that's what you want, best hope they'll let you free.

[Fishbone, "The Suffering"]

[The Orion Experience, "Queen of White Lies"]

[LP, "Muddy Waters"]

[Beirut, "Elephant Gun"]

Lucretia: Have a drink when you're home safe, if you like. Or swing by my wife's place, if you really wanna get your socks knocked off. But whether alone or on the run, from danger or from sleep, have a good night. See y'all next time.
