Episode 24. Altered States

January 08, 2021 23:00 - 58 minutes - 80.6 MB

This episode is a soundtrack to a state of mind that is free of normal perceptions, less inhibited and maybe even engaged in a more internal blissful consciousness. This is achieved by whatever means you care to take but the results induce Altered States of being. These songs will be the smoke rings of your mind. They will glide along with you on your trip. They will seem coherent and they won't make sense too. These are Altered States. Also: You're  financial contributions are welcomed in ...

Episode 25. Songs For Children

January 08, 2021 07:00 - 55 minutes - 76.1 MB

During the Psychedelic era, bands would tend to write songs that would be abit more whimsical and engaging with lyrics that had mystic imagery and light-hearted themes. The music was uncomplicated and very melodic and stirring with it's simplicity. The songs could be described as "Childlike" as they tended to have an immediate appeal to both children and adults. This show has collected songs for the enjoyment of all ages and I'm also doing a reading from select passages from the chapter "Pip...

Episode 22. Inner-Space

December 25, 2020 02:00 - 55 minutes - 76.3 MB

We are going to listen to a series of songs that will have us look within ourselves to either be self reflective or perhaps acknowledge shortcomings we might have. Or we might confront certain fears or concerns we may carry around in our minds. Or we simply might lose ourselves in a daydream or a projection of something unusual. This is inner reflection though perhaps not with a goal of self realization. Subconscious or unconscious thoughts can be powerful and may be a prevalent factor in ho...

Episode 23. HEAVY

December 14, 2020 10:00 - 56 minutes - 77.1 MB

We listen in on the bands who played louder and harder than standard pop bands. These were the early instigators of what would be termed as Hard Rock or "Heavy Metal". These bands played with more power and volume to punctuate their impact on audiences that were ready for something more exciting and more 'Street level' than the softer sounds of pop music being heard on A.M. radio. These were the first rumblings of heavy metal thunder. Also: You're welcome to financially contribute to the pr...

Episode 10. Live Experience

October 17, 2020 21:00 - 1 hour - 83.2 MB

Sometimes the best way to listen to a band is by seeing them live. The Artists get to interact with an audience and use that energy to expand musically on a number or perhaps play with more power and feel.

Here are some live performances that capture the power (chording) and the glory of bands at the peak of their performing powers. Also: You're welcome to financ...
