'PSYCH WARD 05, CARTOON CHARACTERS'

Episode 6 of the PSYCH WARD was aired on Wednesday 24 July 5pm Palestinian time on https://www.radioalhara.net/
Agent X could call this sixth instalment of the show a trip down Memory Lane - but for everyone who joined us this was hopefully nothing but a great musical adventure. There was music from familiar and unfamiliar artists alike - the paperbax, Twisted Arms, Sallim and many more. Plus we had new inmates, an incredible Portuguese psych rock band called ASIMOV.

'PSYCH WARD 06, ALL GOOD THINGS'

The seventh PSYCH WARD episode was aired on Wednesday 28 August at 5pm Palestinian time on www.radioalhara.net/. This time we looked back on the first six episodes and remembered some of the amazing stuff that first aired on those six episodes, celebrating our weird and wonderful artists, our *forever* inmates.
What do you mean, "forever inmates", I hear you ask. It's how the WARD works! Just like the song goes, you can check out any time you like but you can never leave...

'PSYCH WARD 07, HOTEL CALIFORNIA'

The PSYCH WARD returned for Episode 08 on Wednesday 25 September 2024, nearly a full year from the beginning of the full blown massacre in Gaza. As always, we brought a lot of great music from all over Europe and beyond. We were joined for the first time on the WARD by indie veterans KPD-0 from Sofia, Bulgaria, and by a hurricane called Lambrini Girls. We also introduced our first American inmate, brilliant shoegaze artist Hazelene. Last but not least, Agent X still had a hell of a lot to share on topics such as the treatment of journalists and pro-Palestine activists in the so-called “free” world.

'PSYCH WARD 08, NO VERSE, NO CHORUS, NO SOLO'

Ep. 9 of the PSYCH WARD, entitled “THIS IS NOT YOUR TV MALFUNCTIONING”, was aired on Radio Alhara on Wednesday 23 October 2024. It featured great music as usual, including new songs from Helicon and Lambrini Girls, as well as brand new inmates HotWax from Hastings and Pavlovitz from Slovakia. Your host Agent X mused on creativity and kept wondering how we ended up in this topsy-turvy world where trying to make sense of the MSM reporting on Gaza (and now Lebanon) is like taking a Stroop test.

'PSYCH WARD 09, THIS IS NOT YOUR TV MALFUNCTIONING'

The 10th episode of Radio Alhara’s PSYCH WARD, entitled “The Empty Cup” was aired on Wednesday 27 November 2024. The show featured three new inmates, all rising stars on the inide scene: Black Doldrums from London, Chemtrails from Manchester and DAIISTAR all the way from Texas. Your host Agent X told a tale of two cities (technically, one city and one town) and asked the burning question: what makes people bury their heads in the sand?

'PSYCH WARD 10, THE EMPTY CUP'

The 11th episode of radio Alhara’s PSYCH WARD, entitled “Anthropocene Party Planning” was aired on Christmas Day 2024 from Bethlehem, home of Radio Alhara, and brought a bit of festive glitter to our sunken, broken hearts. The show featured Glitch Magnet, a brilliant DIY punk band from the emerging Leicester scene, great new material from some of our regular inmates and truly festive content from our beloved SPC ECO. We also had some exciting surprises - Thurston Moore himself made his WARD debut, as did Agent X’s own daughter Mila, an aspiring opera singer with more talent than any parent could hope for. Agent X stayed true to his grumpy humbag of a self and kept asking the burning question: what does a baby in a manger have to do with Black Friday?

'PSYCH WARD 11, ANTHROPOCENE PARTY PLANNING'

The 12th episode of the PSYCH WARD happened in the backdrop of a ceasefire in Gaza on 22 January 2025, marking one full year of the show. We welcomed the New Year in, hoping against hope that the ceasefire would hold, and vowing to continue the struggle come what may. We celebrated brilliant music by, among others, brand new German inmate Ana Bogner, and the Lambrini Girls’ chartbreaking debut album ‘Who Let The Dogs Out’.

Music:
Debazzer, “Plastics”
Ana Bogner, “do you remember how we used to sing in the wind?”
Sallim, “uma laranja no bolso”
Lambrini Girls, “Bad Apple”
DAIISTAR, “Parallel”
Lambrini Girls, “Nothing Tastes As Good As It Feels”
Ana Bogner, “excavate my dreams”
Lambrini Girls, “Special Different”
European Space Agency, “Fearmonger (Ode to the Populist Grenade)”
Lambrini Girls, “You’re Not From Around Here”
MEI, “Dark Seed”
Ana Bogner, “HOW MANY TEARS?”
European Space Agency, “Palestine (Fires of Gaza), Radio Alhara Version”
