Has anyone heard of this station but me?

Here's a link to an article about the site and the first few

Psyched Out: The Technicolor Web's Online Sound Revolution

by Tony Sclafani

What is it about the psychedelic music of the 1960s that continues to
intrigue new generations of people?

Maybe it's because psychedelic music was a genre where almost anything
went, and all possibilities seemed endless. Artists under the spell of
psychedelia seemed blissfully unaware of commercial conventions, and
were the first rockers to make full use of extra-long songs,
nonsensical lyrics, massive distortion and sound effects.

Another reason for psychedelic music's appeal is that it allows you to
"travel with your mind," as the Seeds put it on their psych-rock opus
"Future." During the psychedelic era, artists created their own little
worlds for listeners to explore. Formula love lyrics gave way to songs
about everything from jolly little dwarves to 30-year-olds who still
played with toys.

Psychedelic music essentially offers a vision of a make-believe world
that often seems a heck of a lot more fun than the real one. In the
Psychedelic World, cyclists whiz by on white bicycles at midnight, you
can hear the grass grow and the skies change from orange to marmalade
(some women even have marmalade hair!).

No other music delved into the fantastic like psychedelia, and the
genre couldn't be less timely. The trend in lyrics today (especially
in the country and rap genres) is to reflect goings on in the real
world, not to create an idiosyncratic fantasyland. How can today's
teens get any escape from the often-harsh real world if even their
music fails to provide that? True, there are video games, but their
dog-eat-dog ethos is reflective of real-world strife. If you were
looking for escape circa 1967, all you had to do was turn on the black
light, stare at your day-glo posters and groove to the sounds of Clear
Light or The Blues Magoos. Voila! A new world. Like, why go out at
all?

Laugh at psychedelic music if you will. But it's instructive to
remember that when artists of any post-1960s era have looked to make
big statements and take their careers to a new level, it's psychedelia
they usually tap into, for instance Prince's "Around the World in a
Day," Robert Fripp's "Exposure" and Madonna's "Like a Prayer" and
"Beautiful Stranger" (directly referencing Love's "She Comes in
Colors").

Psychedelic music is crawling all over the media landscape again these
days, since this summer marks the 40th anniversary of the Summer of
Love and the Monterey International Pop Festival. And while it's hard
sometimes to know exactly where to start to get into this music
(Blossomtoes? Ultimate Spinach?), there is a 24/7 source for
psychedelic sounds, thanks to Internet radio.

The Technicolor Web of Sound (www.techwebsound.com) is an online
station that serves up a non-stop selection of songs of vintage
psychedelic origin. The station, which is powered by Shoutcast
streaming technology, is run by Wisconsin native and music buff Paul
Moews. Moews, whose name is pronounced as "maze," was doing Internet
radio back before most people even knew what it was...
