Come out from behind the Psyche-cle shed

The first part of the Shortwave Garage Sale (The psyched out special) in The Imaginary Stations series which was transmitted last week on WRMI is now up on Mixcloud in all its studio glory but sadly missing all the fades and the remix by the ionosphere.

At 02.05 minutes in is the mix from One Deck Pete called Live from the Psyche-cle shed. Here’s the tracklistings to accompany the tripped out mix:

Kourosh Yaghmaei – Hajme Khali
The Dandelion Set – A Clean Sweep
Tim Maia – Over Again
Soul Vendors – Psychedelic Rock
Şatellites – Disko Arabesque

And whilst you’re there check this out!

And thanks to our good friend Zdenko Franjić for sending us the below. What a track!

Guerrilla Biscuits – RAR

Is it still possible to cash a güiro these days?

Fancy listening to an hour of music made by a wide range of instruments your music teacher didn’t encourage you to take up?
If so KZOO is on 9395 kHz shortwave at 2200 UTC tomorrow Sunday 22nd May 2022 via WRMI. There’s güiros a go-go, a toy piano here and there and some jaw harp thrown in for good measure. Also at 23 mins in is a mix from One Deck Pete called “Feeding time at KZOO”. Tune in and enjoy!
