Last up in the run of new shows is Artist Spotlight on Radio Gordo. With all of the legends of making a deal with the devil for his ability to play, it seems Robert Johnson was the perfect choice for this weekend. Whether a person likes rock, country, or modern blues, if you follow those musical styles back to their origins, you're likely to find yourself at the crossroads with Robert, and possibly, the devil. Tune in at 9pm and we'll listen to 20 of the 29 songs Robert recorded.

The music world, and the psychedelic rock community in particular, was hit hard yesterday with the news of the passing of Phil Lesh. Lesh was the bassist with the Grateful Dead from their earliest days as the Warlocks right through to the very end. Respected for his exploratory approach to the instrument, he left a unique stamp on everything he played. The Psychedelicatessen honors his work with a show dedicated to his compositional efforts in the Grateful Dead. Tune in here:

In the spirit of dressing up for Halloween, this week's Pop Your Culture is an all covers show! Think of it as bands wearing songs as costumes. Bands as far apart as the Scissor Sisters and Eyehategod made it into the show. There are some interesting picks with a preference for the loud. Check it out here:

It's New Show Saturday!

Up first is Spin the Black Circle on Radio Gordo at 2pm. This week, because it's so close to Halloween, the album the 2011 release "Blood Lust" by Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats. While not forging a lot of new ground, this release is a fantastic crystallization of their influences; '60s psychedelia, Black Sabbath, '70s folk horror, occult rock, and more. It's quite the effort from a band who recorded the album in a friend's garage. Listen here:

Despite a slight delay getting to it, this week's Artist Spotlight can be the needed tribute to Kris Kristofferson. He was a legendary songwriter, musician, and actor. The list of his accomplishments are quite surprising. I talk about his early years as a athlete and literary man at Oxford before letting a lot of his music take over the talking part. The show starts at 9pm on Radio Gordo just after The Psychedelicatessen wraps up. Tune in here:

During my time off, I went and visited Radio Gordo mastermind David Gordon and we got to talking about live Jefferson Airplane albums. So, on this week's The Psychedelicatessen, we're going to check out what I think is one of the best live shows from Jefferson Airplane. We're going to get into the whole thing, too! We'll also find some time for some Bob Dylan, Santana, The Kinks, and more. Tune in here:

This week on Pop Your Culture I talk about a bunch of different things. I took a couple weeks off of the show to spend time on other projects, listen to music and watch movies, and generally get out on the bike and live some life. So this show is called "A Harvest of Random Things" and has me tie Joy Division, The 13th Floor Elevators, The Black Angels, and the Agriculture Club together. Well, a bunch of other stuff, too!

It's New Show Saturday!

First up is Spin the Black Circle on Radio Gordo! I recently watched the film "Control" about Joy Division, so we're getting into Joy Division's 1980 LP, "Closer". The album is considered one of the best examples of the post-punk sound with its bleak and angular soundscapes. Synthesizers were incorporated into the songs in a more pronounced way than on their debut and showed a significant maturation in their sound. We'll listen to the album and a few live cuts from a February 1980 concert included on the expanded edition of the album. Listen here:

It's another No New Show Saturday. Sometimes it's important to get out and soak up some inspiration to come up with all of these shows and this is another one of those times. Still, you can tune into the usual places at the usual times and hear some familiar sounds! Tune in here:

Well, it's not New Show Saturday. I needed a week off so I took one. Still, there are old episodes being run! Tune in where you like at the usual times and you'll find something to listen to! Even if you don't tune in at the usual times, you'll probably find something to enjoy!

Last up is Artist Spotlight at 9pm on Radio Gordo! There was a little mix-up last week and I put the Elvis show into the schedule. Fixed that this week, so we're going to continue our pretty solid run of iconic early rock'n'roll heroes with the one who may just be my personal favourite; Buddy Holly. With a professional recording career lasting roughly 2.5 years, he wrote and recorded an incredible number of songs still sounding fresh and energetic nearly 70 years later. Tune in and hear some of the best rock'n'roll of all time:

We get into our weekly dose of weirdness at 7pm on the west coast when the latest episode of The Psychedelicatessen is unleashed to the internet! Normally, it's pretty psychedelic but this first show of falll 2024 is a journey through some of my favourite prog rock. The show was inspired by two tracks in particular; "Billy the Mountain" from Frank Zappa and the Mothers and "The Necromancer" from Rush. Gentle Giant, Camel, Gong, and others make it in, too!

The subject for this week's Pop Your Culture is "Operation High Jump". This was a large-scale military expedition launched by the US in late 1946 to explore, survey, and train in the harsh weather conditions of Antarctica. Some say it had less to do with post-war training and more to do with a German expedition in 1939 during which they're said to have established a base called Neuschwabenland. Others say the reasons were even more esoteric... On this show, I'm talking about all of this and playing some great music, too. Tune in here:
