Show 68 - Termina Pavimento 11/18/2012

I feel the end of this year drawing in around me. In an odd way I am rushed and really it's only my state of mind. I wait for the first winter storm but the forecast is clear weather. It seems time has come to a lull and I don't know what to do. The other day I got on the bus and took a ride downtown. I went to buy a ticket for a show and to see what was happening along the old highway. The bus was crowded with all sorts of people talking, getting supplies and going to work. It was Carl Sandberg poetry right before my eyes. "How much do the wisest of the world's men know about where the massed human procession is going?" We each know where we are going, but do we know where we all are headed? "Get into the game; your nation takes you" is what Lincoln said and Sandburg wrote, "I am an ancient reluctant conscript." I think winter is a good time to listen to music and read books. Here's some music to go with your book.

Show 67 - Informe Especial 11/4/2012

After a prolonged road-trip Bardos happen to pass through my neck of the woods. I was relaxing in a lawn chair sipping cider and enjoying a mild autumn breeze when he walked up to my porch. His stringy brown hair clinging to his shoulders and carrying a small shoulder bag. We started out with a decent glass of Centenario while we talked. An LSD March archive was streaming off the back room computer to the living room stereo. He told me about his recent travels and I did the same even though mine were of a subdued work-a-day life while his were of roaming adventure. But adventure is adventure. We snacked on pretzels, dates, chocolate and salted almonds while messing with my synthesizers. Then we walked south toward the bowling alley and continued a little further to a caught-in-time lounge to get some pizza and drinks. As we settled down Old Man River texted in a message and I responded with our location. We doubled our pizza order and ten minutes later the OLD Man showed up. Conversation turned toward hardcore music trivia and the thick crusted pies arrived and time went way too fast. We all headed back to my shack and a few quick back slapping goodbyes meant it was all over. Bardos and Old Man River headed off into the nite. I set up a strange low frequency on the synth and had another drink and wondered when I would see those guys again. It will for sure be a while.

Hello Bardos where ever you are.

Show 66 - Par Avion 9/30/2012

Fuzzites everywhere… are you enjoying the change of season as much as me? Probably! Amazing blue skies and in the distance fresh snow along the divide. It's a signal I will soon have plenty of time to concentrate on my own projects and more music will be blasting within my living space. Changing seasons, changing thoughts is the condition I am in. Do you hear it? Do you feel it? Far away northerly winds remind me of the past year and eventually will ring in a new year. It all boils down to time. Passing time. Wasted time. Reality or make-believe. Music is the reality of a point in time and if you relate it's your reality too! BARDOS FREEDOOM sent these 8 tracks via special delivery for today's show. You can just listen to the music, or you could enter into the reality of Bardos. These tracks have meaning in his world. The mood is his reality. The beat is his spirit and nothing can take the place of that. Hello Bardos where ever you are.

Show 65 - Special Edition 9/16/2012

Hello Fuzzites. Autumn creeps slowly into my pores and I welcome it. Tomorrow may bring an early snow or maybe a hard freeze and extended Indian Summer. I don't know but prepare myself for whatever may be. Early morning produces an unexpected dispatch from the founder of Vitamin Fuzz, aka Bardos Freedoom. I was high to see a sound file had been attached. Now what have we here? An incognito radio production for worldwide broadcast is what. So, settle in for Vitamin Fuzz Radio broadcast #65, Third Coast Episode ONE. Digitally simmered to perfection within a cozy bunker somewhere in the Western Hemisphere [me thinks, but am not sure]. That matters little since it is the music's awareness and not for me to brood. Listeners note: high quality playbill so go with headphones and a maté for an expanded stereo juxtapose.

Switch ON frequency gurus. Hello Bardos where ever you are.  [52 minutes, 123 mb, 320kbps]

Show 64 - Playlist 9/3/2012

Playing records while staring at the curtain shadows and trying to shove my brain back into my skull. Many call this relaxing on a weekend morning. Flipping through the records it seems most bring back some memory. I switch/listen through all the loops on my Buddha Machine. Loop 5 always reminds me of Golden Gardens on Puget Sound. Today's playlist is a typical music morning as I sip my caffeine and wonder what is now. Some tracks didn't make the show… Hey, I can't divulge everything sacred via this podcast. Prepare your own morning cup of caffeine, then give this one a listen. Even so you may not wake up till noon unless you're in the same mindset as me. [98 minutes, 94.2 mb, 128kbps]

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]

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.
