PSYCHEDELIC DAZE: SPIRIT OF 1967 VS REALITY 2024
A 21st Century Neo-Psychedelic Music Mix

▶︎🎶 tinyurl.com/psychedelic-...

14 tunes that traffic in musical & lyrical nostalgia without completely losing touch with the reality of the present day

#RadioFreeDystopia. Eclectic for The People, since 1999
Online radio show cover art with a psychedelic aesthetic, titled "Psychedelic Daze: Spirit of 1967 vs Reality 2024 - A 21st Century Neo-Psychedelic Music Mix." The image, based on a photo by Leslie Bryce of David Crosby visiting The Beatles in the studio during the Sgt. Pepper recording sessions in 1967, features a dreamy, color-saturated composition with overlapping hues of purple, green, blue, yellow, and orange creating a hazy, ethereal effect. The artwork shows silhouetted figures of 3 of the Beatles (John, Paul, & George) and Crosby, marked with text indicating "Dead" and "Not Dead." At the bottom of the image is an image of a police car in another car's rearview mirror rendered in purple tones. A quote appears near the bottom that reads "It increases my paranoia, but I'm not giving in an inch to fear." In the bottom right corner, there's a purple logo for "WUB-FUR RADIO." The overall design uses a retro-futuristic font style for the title, particularly emphasizing the contrast between 1967 and 2024. The entire image has a deliberately distorted, color-bleeding effect typical of 1960s psychedelic art, but with a modern digital twist. The color palette and visual effects create an immersive, otherworldly atmosphere that bridges the gap between classic psychedelic era aesthetics and contemporary digital art techniques. This image is a collection of the album covers of the songs in the mix arranged in a 4x4 grid, all featuring psychedelic and neo-psychedelic art styles. The covers span different eras but maintain similar artistic themes and visual elements. Here's a description of the covers (mostly created by claude.ai): In the top row: A yellow/gold circular design with multiple faces arranged in a cross pattern A dreamy scene with cherry blossoms against a blue sky A mysterious nighttime landscape with abstract elements A whimsical illustration of a mushroom-shaped UFO amid colorful flowers Middle rows include: "Black Snake Moan" with a snake and sun motif in orange and blue Robyn Hitchcock's "1967: Vacations in the Past" in simple black and white text A photograph of musicians around a microphone Several abstract covers featuring psychedelic color swirls and patterns A striking image of a gun-shaped object with a rainbow halo effect titled "Mushroom" A simple black background with a yellow sunflower Bottom row features: An image of a car with purple effects "Flippin' Freaks Vol. 7" with a surreal creature design A colorful mountain landscape titled "Planet Lovers" A collage-style cover with people and geometric shapes The overall collection showcases the evolution of psychedelic art from the 1960s to contemporary interpretations, using vibrant colors, surreal imagery, and experimental design techniques.

Happy Thanksgiving! There is only 1 tune which conveys the Wub-Fur version of Thanksgiving Holiday Spirit. We refer to the eponymous Thanksgiving song by late 80’s Madison indie rockers, Kissyfish. We've shared the original many times, so this year we're sharing Otis Ball’s excellent cover version.

Michael Moorcock's Pyat Quartet — Byzantium Endures, The Laughter of Carthage, Jerusalem Commands, and The Vengeance of Rome — is nothing if not epic & sweeping. Pyat is the anti-est of antiheroes & the unreliable-est of unreliable narrators & his story encompasses the 20th century's worst horrors.
