Listen to My Discussion About Psychedelic Music on WCRS LP-FM’s ‘Ear Opener’ Radio Show

Posted in News with tags , , , , , , , , , on 05/06/2026 by Kurt Orzeck

Check out my lengthy (and hopefully informative) appearance on WCRS LP-FM’s radio program The Ear Opener about modern psychedelic music with host, Programming Director and great guy Pat Leonard. (WCRS is a non-commercial, listener-supported community radio station.)

In addition to our conversation, I provide commentary on Turtle Skull’s “Into the Sun,” The Birch’s “Free your Head,” BLKE’s “Money Says,” Vitskär Süden’s “R’lyeh,” Gift’s “Going in Circles” and Tumbleweed Dealer’s “Dark Green.” (I’ve also written about those songs in my Treble column on psychedelic music, called The 13th Floor.)

The show aired last night in Columbus, Ohio; and plays in Western Pennsylvania this morning. You can listen to it right here anytime:

Psych-rock’s greatest challenge is to not wander off and lose the listener; BLKE don’t hold your hand, but you know from start to finish on their Living Without Expectations EP that you are in good hands.
