Over the Edge
12:00 AM (Midnight) PST: Fridays
Themed mixes are made live and spontaneously on the air from a variety of formats and equipment. There is a plan and there is no plan. The mix consists of found sound of many kinds and from many sources, old and new, put together on the run as the continuous audio collage continues. OTE sometimes employs “Receptacle Programming,” which means you. Hosted by Jon Leidecker and Robert Cole.

Music from early 60’s guitar icon, Link Wray, along with his comments about his style and the 60’s begin this episode, followed by more from the Apollo space program’s many trips to space before landing on the Moon, accompanied by some hard rock and some otherwise music from the 60’s. Up it’s mixed. The receptacle … Continued
Over the Edge – “Universe Part 29 What About The 60’s? S”
Getting high in the 60’s continues, this time with a focus on marijuana and the rare LP, “A Child’s Garden Of Grass,” along with even more Moody Blues (one of the most underestimated bands of the 60s) and Pink Floyd, plus lots of other 60’s songs about the pleasures and dangers of smoking the weed. … Continued
Over the Edge – “Universe Part 28 What About The 60’s? R”
Timothy Leary, The Moody Blues, and Pink Floyd lead us through a sonic acid trip back when, for a period in the 60s, that was our drug of choice. Everybody did it, but now you can listen to the results just as if you were doing it now. Maybe you are. 3 Hours
Over the Edge – “Universe Part 27 What About The 60’s? Q”
This entire show is an intermixed collage of the thoughts and impact of Marshall McLuhan during the electrically charged 60’s with an emphasis on the mass effects of TV, along with music from Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention and Captain Beefheart. The medium is the massage. 3 Hours.
Over the Edge -“Universe Part 26 What About The 60’s? P”

Over the Edge – “Universe Part 25 What About The 60’s? O”
This one is all about The Last Poets, who introduced everyone to rapping in the mid 60’s, accompanied by civil rights radicals like Malcolm X, and the whole aura of black radical revolutionary lyrics and speeches that scared us all in that short but intense era of black political emergence. Vietnam underlies much of this … Continued
Over the Edge – “Universe Part 24 What About The 60’s? N”
Subbing for Barb and the Crack-O-Dawn usually here on the first Thurs of every month, this extra OTE continues with yet more songs and radio from the mid 60’s, most of which are from Great Briton, including a BBC parody retrospective, “1966 And All That.” Suddenly it’s 1966. At 3:00 AM, I continue subbing another … Continued
Over the Edge – “Universe Part 23 What About The 60’s? M”
A lengthier episode covering the music and the radio of the mid 60’s. Beginning with a ‘66 broadcast of Scott Muni on WOR, N.Y, the music then extends from pop to fine art stuff from John Cage and the 60’s performance art group, Fluxus. N.Y. radio’s Gene Shephard returns with a story about trains accompanied … Continued
