“Lately it occurs to me… what a long, strange trip it’s been.” A personal journey through a lifetime of listening. Presented by Mike.
A uniquely expressive montage – predominantly non-mainstream rock, modern & post-modern jazz and related styles, extraordinary pop and avant garde sounds.
Doo wop and dub, funk and folk, psych and skronk, bluegrass and bossa nova, post-rock and pre-rock, musique concrete and bubblegum, the weird and the wonderful.
Yes. Both kinds of music.
An immersive experience for imaginative and adventurous listeners who like to be engaged, excited, intrigued, and sometimes simply astonished. Attention, thrill seekers!
Side trip: Reality is Only Temporary (Monday 10:30pm-midnight).
Quotation from the lyric by Robert Hunter (1941-2019) for The Grateful Dead’s song Truckin’ (Ice Nine Pub. Co./ASCAP) from the album American Beauty (Warner Bros., Nov 1970).
