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.

This one begins with a stupendous (if I do say so myself) simul-play mash of two different versions of “In Held ‘twas In I” by Procul Harum lasting about 25 minutes. Then we delve into 60’s astrology, how it works and what it means to you, hosted by Casey Kasem. More music, including a little … Continued
The children of Rock &Roll just fade away, except they don’t, because here’s what they did. Exclusively devoted to the Beatles verses Rolling Stones, chopped up and overlapped, with 60’s commentary by both groups.
