A very happy birthday to the late Dr. Timothy Leary! In honour of this crazy character, we play "Space" from Ash Ra Tempel's Seven Up album from 1972, featuring the good doctor on vocals and general vibe-setting in the studio we have no doubt. Also, plenty of Canadian psych content this time around: the Great North Wild and Freeky struts its stuff.

This week, a very special truncated edition of this show, in which a stupid technical glitch cuts off the second part of the two-hour show. That's why you need to listen live! Everything from partway through the Holydrug Couple song got lost in the ether.

Today is the welcome-back-to-Powell-River-Amanda edition. Also a heap of long songs that some people wouldn't consider long, but let's not worry about them and their opinions. I mean, if we listened to everyone whose only feedback was some kind of superciliousness, we'd never get anywhere in life, would we? No we would not.

Have a listen as Alia Sharrief shares her journey in music, radio, and activism.
We discussed topics such as what it's like to be a woman in Hiphop, Mike Brown in Ferguson, and the reality of Black and Brown civilians in America. Alia was able to connect Andy Lopez's murder in #SantaRosa to what's happening in #Ferguson and nationwide.
This week we showcase the recently released compilations from The Psychedelic Underground Generation (#22) & The Active Listener (#24). As if that's not enough, we kick off with a fantastic track from Japanese band Tolchock and fill out the rest of the two hours with some great tracks new and old.

It's the kickoff of the second Aurora Festival here in Powell River, and what better way to get lubricated than by immersing oneself into a steaming hot bath of deadly psychedelic mindfuckery? Really, you have an answer to that question? It was rhetorical. Or was it?

A fit of coughing and occasional mental lapses seem to prefigure a kind of psychic breakdown, possibly the symptoms of early-onset don't-give-a-fuck-ism or some other terrible affliction. Nonetheless, through the murk and uneven sound levels come occasional signs of quality and effort. Don't kid yourself, though: the good bits won't last long. In the end, we all die alone. TURN IT UP LOUD!
