Sounds From Space: November In The Stars (Special Apollo 12 Tribute)

Sounds From Space: (November In The Stars) Special Apollo 12 Tribute

Between November 14th and November 24th, the Apollo 12 Mission quietly worked in the shadow of the much more exciting, and famous, Apollo 11 Mission from earlier that summer. Since we are continuing our coverage for “Sounds From Space,” this is sort of a sequel to our Apollo 11 Tribute from the summer, as we listen to Apollo 12 tapes this time, and enjoy a long-form Mini-Mutations jam… and while thinking about Sounds From Space.

Enjoy!

The Great Outdoors

~ Austin Rich ~ Leave a comment

The Great Outdoors (#243) (852)

Xeres and I decided that we needed to get away from it all, for a while. We arrive at Big Rock Candy Mountain, a fantastic campground with a number of odd features, including a creek near an ocean beach with lots of hiking in tropical and pine forests. Occasional guests wander in, we read some poetry and short stories, offer some PSAs about camping, and we have our Short Wave Radio to tune in music and The Weather Computer.

It’s The Great Outdoors. Sit around the campfire, and stay a spell.

Enjoy!

The Horror of Haunted Houses

~ Austin Rich ~ Leave a comment

The Horror of Haunted Houses (#240) (849)

After getting lost in the Mid-Valley on my way home from a show, I stumble upon a pair of “Haunted Houses,” and have to endure these ridiculous experiences.

Fortunately, I was allowed to crack wise to help me get through the night. Radio Riffing on two ridiculous horror classics, for those who enjoy a little comedy with their weirdness.

Enjoy!

The Cave of Night

~ Austin Rich ~ Leave a comment

The Cave of Night (#231) (840)

Are we feeling isolated, stuck in places we’d rather not be… or, at least, we want everyone to believe that? Both a metaphor and something very real, we’ve all entered the Cave of Night, and the music around us is starting to reflect our state of mind.

It’s a New Year’s Eve story (sort of), about having to spend this time alone, wanting to get away, and reflecting on strange occurrences around us. We close with a Cookie Recipe and some Richard Brautigan, of course.

Enjoy!

The War Years w/ MKUltramegaphone (Retrocast)

~ Austin Rich ~ Leave a comment

The War Years w/ MKUltramegaphone (Retrocast) (#228)

This week, we review two shows from 2017, where the then-house band – MKUltramegaphone – presented two long-form cut-ups and live jams, all centering around how, exactly, we got into WWII. This was our “Pearl Harbor Day” broadcast, and only at the end did I remember: we didn’t get to Pearl Harbor Day in our original broadcasts! Oh well.

Here’s the original shows:

The War Years Part I (w/ MKUltramegaphone)

The War Years Part II (w/ MKUltramegaphone & Uneasy Chairs)

Let’s Have A Party Tonight!

Let’s Have A Party Tonight! (#226)

With the holidays upon us, it seems like there’s too many family and social obligations already upon us. So, before we have to do the family thing, and drive for too long to visit family that we might not be excited about, let’s instead have a party, to celebrate with friends before we have to do the holiday thing.

Wanda Jackson punctuates this celebration. Let’s party!

Enjoy!

Blast Off!: A Journey Through The Mid-Valley

~ Austin Rich ~ Leave a comment

Blast Off!: A Journey Through The Mid-Valley (#225)

Our debut via “Sheena’s Jungle Room on WFMU.” For this program, we offer an overview of what our show is like for new listeners! This includes: technical difficulties! A visit to hang out with The Grumpy Punk. I engage my vintage tour guides to help us trek through the wilds of The Mid-Valley.

And then: some live Mini-Mutations along the way.

Listen as I stumble through a new incarnations of Mid-Valley Mutations!

Enjoy!
