Swami Loopynanda Asks: Does Turkey Make You Sleepy?

11/18/2018

If you have ever spent any time around a turkey, you know the "snood" can be fun to watch. Turkeys also make some wonderfully unique sounds.

A frozen Turkey embroyo from 1997 has recently hatched, and the results gobble like no others. If you dare hear this phenomenon for yourself, please proceed here:

Now Wide-Open In The Magnetic Bungalow - Usui's "Lasered Eye"

11/13/2018

November's Magnetic Bungalow features a classic of Japanese experimental home recording.
Aioi Usui's 1993 cassette album "Lasered Eye" is full of ideas both unique to Japan and universal. The recordings showcase Usui's thoughtful personality as well as his unusual approaches to song writing.

This tape came with a nice little photocopied booklet that includes lyrics and/or descriptions for all of its songs -- written in both Japanese and English. It also came with a fancy transparent envelope that contained some unusual color photographs.

Usui described this to me as "the pick with which I make all the noise."

Tune into this program on Saturday, November 17, 2018, 12:00 AM USA Pacific Standard Time on KOWS, 92.5 FM (that's Friday at Midnight), here:

Swami Loopynanda

Greetings!
I am one of the several alter-egos of Charles Rice Goff III. I am best known as a radio host, although I have had some of my reviews published here and there over the years, and have even been involved in occasional recording projects.

In honor of Hal resurrecting his Electronic Cottage, for the next year or so (starting May, 2018) I will be dedicating one radio broadcast per month to a single cassette album release.
My radio show is called The Deprogramming Center, and it can be heard live on KOWS, 92.5 FM, in Occidental/
Sebastopol, California, at 12:00 AM USA Pacific Time, every other Saturday (that's Midnight on Fridays).
I also provide temporary links to all my broadcasts on archive.org. Because these special cassette album broadcasts are being coordinated with Electronic Cottage, the name I've given to this new program series is: Magnetic Bungalow.
Stay tuned for regular details.
