Today’s show from the vault features a very psychedelic mix of music, and psychedelic music you’ve most likely never heard before, unless you happen to be a big fan of the genre like I am. Psychedelic music didn’t stop in the 60s, it just kept on going getting weirder and weirder with each decade.

There’s also some prog rock and experimental folk and electronica and jazz thrown in for good measure. So basically you get a show that goes from Flying Saucer Attack to Motörhead to Thelonious Monk to Steve Martin. Your typical freeform show, basically.

It’s also very serendipitous that this show turned up because today is the day I introduce my buddy Jack to the world of sensory deprivation tanks. We’re going to get our float on and kiss the sky! Well, at least I will, Jack’s on his own journey. I can’t wait to hear what he thought of the experience. If you haven’t floated yet, you really need to try. You can thank me later.

Today’s show from the vault is 3+ hours of freeform, but it’s late 90s, so there’s a lot of psychedelic on today’s show. You may wonder why I played so much psychedelic music during that time but if you lived through that part of the decade you’ll recall that a lot of people we knee-deep in Terence McKenna and Grant Morrison and the internet and Y2K was just around the corner. It was a very trippy time and it’s only gotten weirder since then.

Wow, another psychedelic show! Well, at least part two of my September 12, 1998 show is. I wonder when part 1 will turn up?

If you’re just tuning in, I’ve been slowly digitizing my cassettes from my years deejaying at WMFO to MP3. As long as I’m at it, I thought I’d upload the shows to Mixcloud. It gives me a perverse thrill that these shows get a second life once their liberated from the confines of the analog world. I almost never labeled any of the cassettes and there are at least 15 years worth of shows I have to go through. So who knows when I’ll come across part 1. That’s part of the thrill of digitizing all these cassettes, who knows what’s going to turn up? Will it be a live set from some forgotten gem of a band or will it be an awesome psychedelic mix like today’s show?

One more thing. Hearing me announce the URL to my old GeoCities website made me chuckle. There was a tilda in the URL, for crying out loud!

This is one of those shows I dread because I talked. A lot. And I was probably drunk that night so that means you’ll get to hear way too much inane chatter from your truly. On the other hand, I think me prattling on and on is balanced by a great set of punk, goth rock and pop. You’ll also hear words from Antonin Artaud, William Gibson and Orson Scott Card. If that doesn’t do it for you you’ll also get to hear a live set from my best friend in the whole wide world, Steve Power! You’ll also get to hear a live set from my sound engineer, Aaron Shadwell! Aaron, if you’re out there, look me up! After I get this show out I’ll look for good ol’ Aaron on Facebook.

Today’s show from he vault, while freeform, lacks the narrative cohesion that I usually manage to pull off. Even so, today’s show is terrific. I don’t know where I found the inspiration pair The Beastie Boys with Liz Phair and then segueing to Universal Congress Of but I’m glad I did. Okay, enough back patting, because it’s the music—as always—that carries the show. Does it really take genius to play Fudge Tunnel’s cover of “Sunshine of Your Love” back to back with Slayer’s cover of “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida?” No. It does take, however, a deejay’s OCD-like obsession with music to know that those two songs exist. IN any case, I hope you dig it and can forgive the Charles Hayward and Rich Doyne-Ditmas 20 minute jam.

Hey, I’m in South Bend, Indiana. Hit me up on Twitter at https://twitter.com/josephaleo to clue me in on what to while I’m there besides visiting the Griffon Bookstore and the Fiddler’s Hearth.

See you next week!

I don’t remember much about this night because A) it was 16 years ago and B) I was most likely a couple sheets to the wind. What I do remember is having a lot of fun. The Black Architects came to the studio and made a lot of noise and then did an interview, which made for a lot of laughs. To be honest, I haven’t listened to the interview because I’m sure I said a lot of stupid things. Then again, we all said a lot of stupid things.

You’ll also hear a lot of music from Boston on today’s show. Hullabaloo (another band who have performed on my show), Mary Lou Lord and Sam Black Church. And this being a freeform show we’ll also hear everything from Sonny Sharrock’s sweet jazz guitar, Frank Zappa’s only song worth listening to (unless you like his songs about poop and such) and spoken word from William Gibson, Guillam Apollinnaire and Orson Scott Card. There’s more, of course, but I’ll let you hear that for yourself.

Wow, this show from the vault is embarrassing because I was was trying to add some drama to a psychedelic mix. Thankfully the music is so mind blowing that I think you’ll overlook the pretentiousness.

Check it out. We’ll hear the intro to the Six Million Dollar Man. We’ll also hear the late Timothy Leary and Cheb i Sabbah wax psychedelic on the meaning of your existence. I never met Leary but I did interview Chebi. Thankfully he left behind many albums of beautiful music. Zoviet-France muse on our need for stories. Porcupine Tree opine on LSD. We’ll hear a Yanomami shamanic healing ceremony. Terence McKenna gives the blueprint to the Gaian mind and William Cantelon intones on the dangers of LSD. There’s more, of course!

March 7, 1998 [Part 1] | WMFO 91.5 FM

One thing I did not anticipate when I began digitizing cassette of my shows from WMFO 91.5 FM crappy recordings. We played the hell out of our cassette players and industrial strength as they were, things begin to wear out and eventually break. In the case of today’s show it’s a clicking sound you can hear in the recording during quieter tracks. It’s frustrating but there was nothing I could do and while I would prefer shows like this not to go out I did make myself a promise to release these show warts and all.

Aside from the warts the rest of today’s show is pretty dynamite! I kicked off the show with some Spaghetti-Western music, slipped seamlessly into the blues to psychedelic to rockabilly to hip hop and beyond. I promise you, today’s show is so dope you’ll overlook the clicking sound. I think you’re gonna love it. Oh, and we got stories!

August 23, 1997 [Part 1] | WMFO 91.5 FM

What’s cool about some of these shows is that my musical selection is a touchstone to what was going on at my life when the show was originally recored. For example, on today’s show I played a track by Entrain, which means I was dating Liz and she was a huge fan. I also played “The History of the Word Fuck.” I knew Cliff from work and he sent me that audio file. You wouldn’t believe the hoops I had to jump through to burn that on to CD to play at the radio station in 1997. Anyway, Cliff and the whole crew from the office were and are very special people. The tracks by McLuhan and Kroker, Kroker & Gibson reminds me how knee-deep I was in media theory and post-modern philosophy back then.

Oh, and the music on today’s show is fantastic. Dig it.
