Winter Light / Summer Heat
Feb 1, 2023 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Multi-Genre Music
With Patrick Green Beans
Winter Light / Summer Heat is a weekly radio music program that features popular old favorites and lesser-known tunes that focus on themes of exploration, nostalgia, mythology, politics, history, existentialism, death, wanderlust and spirituality, or maybe it's just a bunch of songs in a row, brought to the listener through a vehicle of folk and psychedelic music.
The focus of Winter Light / Summer Heat is psychedelic rock, contemporary folk and their sub-genres (acid rock, psych, space rock, garage, jam band, krautrock, psychedelic pop, psychedelic soul, psychedelic folk, p-funk, Canterbury scene, freak, beat, folk rock, progressive folk, folk baroque, folk pop, chamber folk etc...), but the program also dips into world, exotica, funk, rock, singer-songwriter, pop and soundtrack music.
"Psychedelic rock is a style of Rock music which emerged in the mid-1960s that often attempts to emulate or enhance the way music sounds while under the influence of psychedelic drugs. Songs typically include heavily distorted and reverbed electric guitars, extended instrumental segments (especially guitar solos), augmented vocals, and drug-influenced lyrics. Other common characteristics include use of keyboards and elaborate studio effects like backwards recording. It is also not uncommon for psychedelic rock groups to incorporate prominent elements of other genres including Folk, Blues, Jazz, and South Asian Music." - from RateYourMusic.com

[REBROADCAST] The Wonderful World Of The Industrial Musical
Unable to post full description, refer to original posting: https://wbtvlp.creek.fm/broadcasts/2019
Two hours of the greatest radio you could ever ask to hear, which means only songs from industrial musicals.
In a time of US history when domestic manufacturing was at its zenith, companies making these fine products for consumers all over the world treated themselves and their employees with shows revolving around the products they sold and the shared experiences within their businesses. The performances, sometimes as elaborate and expensive as Broadway productions, hired songwriters to create musicals to showcase their products (whether it be soda, silicone, mouth wash or paper cups), highlight a new focus or strategy or boost employee morale which sometimes culminated in a full length spectacle that included talent that would go on to stardom. Bob Fosse, Chita Rivera, Martin Short, Florence Henderson, Sheldon Harnick, Jerry Bock, John Kander and Fred Ebb, among others all took a turn in the industrial circuit before making it big on the stage and screen. These shows were private affairs and the public has only recently been able to delight in this forgotten genre through the surfacing of rare souvenir records issued to salesmen and shareholders so they could relive that great time they had. Tracking down these elusive recordings has become the life goal of at least a handful of enlightened collectors.
27 different shows in this show, here's some information about some of them:
The Bathrooms Are Coming!:
Cult favorite and perhaps the greatest industrial musical (and maybe even the greatest musical period), The Bathrooms Are Coming! combines the glamour of Broadway theatrics with bathroom fixtures manufactured by American Standard. The story is as bizarre and delightful as the title promises. The Greek goddess Femma is enlisted by a group of modern women to usher in a bathroom revolution as explained in the first song "It's Revolution" which includes the immortal lines 'She's free, she's free/ from bathroom oppression she's free'. "My Bathroom" is an ode to what is seemingly boasted as the best room in the house, "Look At The Tub" is a lament from woman who has had enough with cramped, dangerous and overall substandard tubs, "Spectra 70" introduces the world to the endless features of this new shower including a shelf for cigarettes and martinis, which may or may not be a joke, I honestly don't know. Even harder to come by than the music is video of the performance, which could explain the interesting imagery adorning the record sleeve, such as caveman interacting with toilet, a hillbilly with a jug of moonshine and the flippantly blasphemous depiction of a monk in front of an outhouse door with 'John' written on it next to similar doors with the names of other saints.
That's Show Biz!:
My favorite production. This short record of only 5 tunes is all about Prime-Wrap, basically a butcher grade meat storage plastic wrap made by Goodyear. "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" writer Lee Pockriss composed this masterpiece, and who could expect any less. Closer "Welcome To Schultz's Market" allows each member of the five person cast to assume the role of a meat, including Rex Roast and Charlene Chicken. This four minute crazy pork chop opus contains bizarre digs at French president Charles De Gaulle, why did the chicken cross the road? humor, and an excruciating long build up to a ho
