Podcast 2023.04 Bag Drop

March 6, 2023 [Notes/Interviews] [Mixcloud]

I recently took a trip to Minneapolis–nothing quite like the refreshing weather of Minneapolis in February! Luckily we beat the blizzard by a day. Still, while we were there we made the most of it. We stopped by Birchbark Books and we visited what has become known as the Free State of George Floyd. The music in this episode ranges from druggy stoner psych to improvised jams and spacey drones.

Podcast 2023.03 Any Given Sunday

February 16, 2023 [Notes/Interviews] [Mixcloud]

Another Super Bowl Sunday has come and gone. It’s strange to think how much the Super Bowl has changed over time. The games are actually competitive now and Super Bowl commercials have become an institution in their own right. Gone are the days of Up With People playing the halftime show. Hard to believe, but Up With People actually performed at FIVE Super Bowls (V, X, XIV, XVI and XX). So anyway, the playlist for this episode of Turn Me On, Dead Man would would make an excellent trippy Super Bowl halftime show.

Podcast 2023.02 Byrd In Flight

January 31, 2023 [Notes/Interviews] [Mixcloud]

This episode is a tribute of sorts to David Crosby, who died earlier this month at the age of 81. The tracks in this episode are psychedelic rock ranging from stoner to improvisational jams–not really David Crosby’s sort of music, but he left his indelible stamp on psychedelia from his time with the Byrds and other artists he was associated with.

Podcast 2023.01 Never Get Out Of The Boat

January 9, 2023 [Notes/Interviews] [Mixcloud]

A new year and a one-hour set of recent psychedelia. I asked the bands if they had any new year’s resolutions and my favorite answer was from Firefriend who said they wanted to play around the world before WW3. The tracks in this episode originate from the US, Canada, Australia, the UK, Argentina, Brazil, Finland, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
