Thu, 27 July 2006  You know, my idea of forsaking and having little interest in the Christian religion has only one flaw. What if I'm wrong? What if I die, go to the gates, and am cast down to the pits of hell as a non believing infidel? Well, yes, it would suck. But, there have to be some advantages and I started tying to figure out what those advantages might be. The major one I could come up with (other than hell being full of strippers and porn stars) was that I would be able to see some of the best musicians jam all night long (because it's always night time in hell, right?). So, I started to come up with the lineup for Satan's Purple Psychedelic Mushroom Experience, which consisted of some of the greatest dead musicians of our age. It was tough to decide who was lead and who was rhythm but I figured these greats would work it all out on their own on stage and would fade in and out of their roles. For this reason, I was vague and just said guitar, vocals, etc. So, for this podcast, I give you Satan's Purple Psychedelic Mushroom Experience!! I am basically going to play a song from each of these artists, or at least the band they were mainly affiliated with. Enjoy!! Satan's Purple Psychedelic Mushroom Experience (members): Moderator - Ken Kesey (Excerpt from the Merry Pranksters Acid Reels) **Yes, I know I say it's Chunga's Revenge in the show but that song had some problems and I had to change it last minute.

Wed, 12 July 2006  You know, the recent death of Syd is a sad occasion. Even if he has not really contributed to mass society in recent decades his mere presence was a reminder of what used to be and of a time when music was truly great. This is a psychedelic podcast and it celebrates the music and the culture of the good ol' days when musicians had no problem grabbing their 4-tracks and recording under a waterfall just to see how it would sound. My old band used to play a lot of Pink Floyd from the Syd era and although we didn't necessarily share his love of the paper products, we shared his love of the music that made the paper products popular (or was it the other way around?). Syd had a large influence on myself and my partner (musical partner) and without Syd who knows whether or not Floyd would have existed and without Floyd, what would the world have been like? Although no one remembers it now, the world owes him a large amount of gratitude and praise for what he accomplished and for what he unleashed upon society. So, praise him, you fools. Praise him!! As his death has been blogged ... well, to death, I'll simply link to a couple of articles here that will do a better job of explaining what happened. This podcast is a tribute to you, Syd, and if the rest of Pink Floyd are out there, I think it would be a nice gesture for you to reunite and play a 120 minute version of Interstellar Overdrive right here in my home town of Birmingham, Alabama. You can even set up in my basement if need be. Shine On!!
