Show 63 - Playlist 8/5/2012


My Kmart fan is moving hot air around just as it has for the past few months. Seems to be a slight let up in the weather and that's to be expected since the sun gets lower each day. The road tar has settled as low as it can go. The weeds are struggling to survive. The dogs lay low and close to the foundation wall where it is cooler. My mower stands lonely in the garage waiting for some rain. Chores go undone until the cool days of autumn arrive. Everything is everything. Nothing is everything. And now it's time for a little music. [77 minutes, 79 mb, 128kbps]

Show 62 - Playlist 7/1/2012


The urban heat hacks out pieces of my mind and spits it out on the ground. I hear it sizzle like a meat patty on the grill. Hot winds blow from the NW. No matter if I look North or South all I see is sepia toned smoke drifting in. Summer's hot death is here too early. My only reprieve is night and an old Kmart fan. In a weird way night is always refreshing, especially the hours just before sunrise. It seems life should go on hold when the heat is this intense. This show expounds my mood just before the sun rises and reheats what was previously baked. Stay still. Conserve your energy and meditate upon thoughts of your inner presence. The inner presence is the only truth.

Show 61 - Playlist 6/12/2012

Underground characters [running amok] such as Philip Best [Consumer Electronics], Gary Mundy [instigator of Broken Flag label] and Masami Akita [Merzbow] led me to some mythical music for this weeks show. It's a mix of musical experiments, noise, tribal thumps, jangling bells and junk banging on junk. Drones of all sorts filter through, before and aft. This mix is enough to inspire articulate thinkers or a three-legged dog and may instigate thoughts of long distance space travel or vague dreams of spraying graffiti on your own garage door.  We all know life is falling down. The decline makes it easy to let yourself go to waste. Slide your plastic, push a button, rewire your veins. [133 minutes, 129 mb, 128kbps]

Show 60 - Playlist 5/20/2012

My mind's echo. A lifetime blown-by like the blurred speed of a coal train headed north to Wyoming. Woozy spring weekends bound at both ends by the inferno reality. Yes, yes… settle into the sickness of a nasty mind-grip. The music can help me find the light switch in my eyes. Wandering, gathering, adventure searching out the tracks in this show lead me to my favorite new-old discovery… Atlas Sound [aka Bradford Cox of Deerhunter] reminds me the remote and free are just outside my door, over there in the calm mountains. Feel the primitive urban sound and lo-fi psych-noise relaxants. So, take my advice [sic]. Go with a large dose of New York quartet Psychic Ills. They have toured with Indian Jewelry and The Black Angels. Now they've arrived in your house with the medicine.

Show 59 - Playlist 4/29/2012


To finish up April I put together 2 hours of Japanese selections varying from Garage to Experimental sounds. This assortment came about when I thumbed through a sedentary stack of CDs leaning against a Peavey Valve King in my living room. Midway into the pile a Cosmic Invention's CD jumped out. In a rush I threw Help Your Satori Mind into my pack and listened to it in the car for most of the past week. It's a classic release and basically the same lineup as present day band Ghost. Within my research I uncovered a few gems by Green Milk From the Planet Orange, Taj Mahal Travelers and startup Acid Mothers Temple band Floating Flowers. Toward the end of the set I added a conspired track by LSD March and Bardo Pond.

Show 58 - Playlist 4/8/2012

Summer is moving in way to fast. Hot dry winds blowing down from the mountains tell me there's something not quite right headed this way. I can't figure out if it's just weird weather, old age or the burning embers of social unrest blowing through an already burnt out forest. Either way it's confusing. Spring is the annual renewal and I want it to stay that way. Meanwhile trash and dirt blows along urban curbs. The grit ends up imbedded in my forehead making me think this scene is conjuring up a modern day Okie dust bowl or maybe a '68 convention replay. I can only guess and dream and keep on going. Something is in the air. Do you sense it like I do? [89 minutes, 85 mb, 128kbps]

Show 57 - Playlist 3/11/2012

Funny what sort of place a quick listen to an out dated underrated Iron Butterfly track can take me. Their 1969 album Ball, went to number 3 and also gold. But for me this release was far more determined that the previous In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. It was Psychedelic giving rise to Acid & Space Rock and gave me the direction for todays playlist. All the other tracks came like spawning fish to a gill net. You'll get a nice spacey psycho-morphonic drift from this mix. Probably best for slow motion viewing of an early spring sunset which is a great time to ponder surrounding energies. Just don't get too wrapped up cause you'll end up like Syd.
