It’s beginning to look like spring here in the Northern Hemisphere. Buds are on the trees, summer birds returning, and all around you can smell fertile dirt. This week’s show started about DIRT, gardening then got added, then planting seeds came to mind, including seeds of change. This piece is about nurturing the earth and nurturing ourselves, honoring the components of a healthy garden, literal and figurative.

0029: Songs of Psychedelia
“Songs of Psychedelia” invites listeners to dissolve the boundaries between consciousness and cosmos through sounds that celebrate our profound connection to Earth. From Jens Jarvie’s ayahuasca-inspired prayer of devotion to The Bevis Frond’s indie rock ode to nature, we journey through experimental soundscapes where Russian acorns bloom and Swiss forest mushrooms dance. After the break, Bly Wallentine transports us to windswept Utah canyons, Myndflower illuminates moss-covered trees at Pagan festivals, and Finnish rockers Pennies by the Pound contemplate watery mysticism. Derek Monypeny’s Mojave Desert guitar meditations channel spiritual elders before we conclude with Jimi Hendrix’s alien visitor questioning what we’ve done to our planet. This collection represents the finest tradition of psychedelic music: not escape from reality, but diving deeper into it—discovering that when we truly open our perception, we find ourselves inseparable from the living world. Join us for an hour of mind-expansion that roots us more deeply in Earth love rather than carrying us away from it.
