Psychedelic Halloween: “The Music of Erich Zann”

Today’s show will be The Naked Cosmonaut reading H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Music of Erich Zann,” over amazing, weird, scary, beautiful music. “The Music of Erich Zann” was written in December 1921 and first published in the March 1922 issue of National Amateur.

There’s way more music here than can be played in 2 hours (this playlist is actually 3 hours and 21 minutes of music), but since The Naked Cosmonaut will be reading we’ll play these when appropriate – kind of like radio theater.

Turn on. Get comfortable. Tune in.

the YOKO ONO show

Today’s show is very special, and disregards generic categories.  The more I listen to Ono, the greater my appreciation for her work becomes.  From performance to film to music–all radical activism–Ono is still a peace-presence and an anti-fascist. Long live Yoko Ono! Instead of displaying the playlist as I usually do, I am going to […]

Psychedelic, Michigan

From the super heavy and loud to the stretched-out mind-melting weeeard: yep, that’s psychedelic Michigan.  Most of the stuff from the early days is coming out of Detroit, but a lot of the new stuff is from Ann Arbor.  Then there’s the Bad Indians from Ypsilanti. Like the music itself, I’m playing fast and loose […]

Psychedelic, Pennsylvania

There’s so much great psychedelic music coming out of Pennsylvania. Today’s show was very difficult to curate because I didn’t know what to play and what to leave out! For those of you who didn’t make the cut this time, there will surely be a next! Special shout out and thanks to The Garment District, Kendra Steiner Editions, Jennifer Baron, Evening Fires, and Sunrise Ocean Bender!
