Themed mixes are made live and spontaneously on the air from a variety of formats and equipment. There is a plan and there is no plan. The mix consists of found sound of many kinds and from many sources, old and new, put together on the run as the continuous audio collage continues.

Beginning with all four of our CD players filled with lots of 60s jazz played all at once, and a reprise of The Last Poets relating the history of jazz, we continue with Nico and The Velvet Underground, The Byrds, Country Joe McDonald vs. LBJ, an ode to Richard Nixon, and lots of other mid … Continued
This one is all about The Last Poets, who introduced everyone to rapping in the mid 60’s, accompanied by civil rights radicals like Malcolm X, and the whole aura of black radical revolutionary lyrics and speeches that scared us all in that short but intense era of black political emergence.

Subbing for Barb and the Crack-O-Dawn usually here on the first Thurs of every month, this extra OTE continues with yet more songs and radio from the mid 60’s, most of which are from Great Briton, including a BBC parody retrospective, “1966 And All That.” Suddenly it’s 1966.

Not quite Receptacle-free this time, it’s all Dylan, all from the 60’s again. The songs are all different, most are boots or unreleased tracks, more from many interviews, authentic jingles from our sponsers, Coke & Pepsi, and Izzy is still on that billy-horn. 3 Hours.

Also, a rare … Continued
