The Chill Room, 19 October 2008 00:00 PST, on killradio.org. A special on the Velvet Underground.

The Primitives-The Ostrich (early 1965 Pickwick City 7") / Miss Joanie Lee (Factory rehearsal tape 3 Jan 1966) / Andy Warhol introduces the Velvets-Venus in Furs (WNET-New York 7 Feb 1966) / end titles-Heroin (7 Feb 1966) / Hedy or the 14 year Old Girl (bass and guitar rumblings accompanying Warhol film Feb 1966) / Text by Larry McCombs (read by bt, from Boston Broadside July 1966) / Nothing Song-Melody Laughter (excerpts) (Valleydale Ballroom, Columbus Ohio 4 Nov 1966) / The Black Angel's Death Song (4 Nov 1966)

The most important American rock band, and my favorite, in a stretched out almost 100 minute Chill Room special. Long rumored tapes appear decades after they were recorded, and they present us with the evidence of how ahead of their time they were. While dozens of rock bands played long blues-based psychedelic jams, the Velvets' speedy trance-inducing flashes, ambient passages, and wham-bam-crunchy riffs are unlike any other from their time. For the right people, this is a life-changing experience.

Get both parts to see what I mean.

Podcast Summary

The Chill Room has been part of the L.A. underground radio scene for over ten years, beginning on the infamous KBLT-FM pirate station in 1997. The Chill Room is live collage, with your mind in mind.

I do the Chill Room on killradio.org, and have been here for years. Radio is an extraordinary medium in which you can actually make magic and conjure spirits without even knowing that you're doing it. Somebody got lucky, but it was an accident. The Chill Room is collage, art, literature, science and history rolled into one. (Secrets sometimes are necessary. The Chill Room is designed as a radio narcotic. It will comfortably assist you in relaxing and withdrawing into the sleep, but it can also be habit forming. Some have been known to experience withdrawal symptoms missing only one week of shows. Use with skill and abandon. Eyes wide eagle vision. Disappear like the tail of a lizard.)
