This Sunday get Stuck in the Psychedelic Era with the Hermit’s weekly two hour radio show featuring music from the years 1964-70 (roughly).
With an ever-shifting balance of familiar favorites, forgotten hits and obscure B sides and album tracks (and an occasional jazz or R&B track thrown in to spice up the mix), Stuck in the Psychedelic Era is literally a throwback to the days of “underground” radio. There are no pre-recorded jingles or promotional spots; just two hours of music, punctuated by occasional commentary by the Hermit, whose own radio career began on a small closed-circuit station in the early 70s.
Much of the music is taken directly from vintage vinyl, scratches and all. The rest comes from Compact Disc compilations and re-issues of original albums, all taken from the Hermit’s personal collection.
Commentary is centered on the music itself: artist histories, contextual information, anecdotes, personal memories and occasional forays into how the music of the psychedelic era relates to today’s world
Just about every week we have at least one set that starts in a particular year and moves forward one year (per track) at a time. This time around EVERY set is a progression through the years. Some of them are fairly long, like our opening set that takes us from 1965-69, while others are standard three song sets.
