Acheulean Age

Take a walk along an ancient road deep into the wilderness, where folkways lead with Outsider ambition. Tune in for an eclectic mix of country, folk, blues, and more from deep history to the far future, all woven in from an Outsider perspective celebrating the weird, the witchy, and the wonderful of folk music. Bring your favourite rock, a pair of sturdy boots, and an open mind on this adventure. Sponsored by the Calgary Underground Film Festival

Been noticing osprey nests a lot more recently, but I don't think the ospreys have migrated north yet, too early, they prefer to arrive in May. When I was in uni, I knew the ospreys would arrive right after my last final exam, or right when my last final paper was due. I'm noticing last year's osprey nests more now because I want to see the ospreys, so my brain is training my eyes to pick out evidence of osprean nature. I, like the rivers, am readying myself for spring, and her incoming

For today's broadcast, I turned off the lights. Blue sky outside, so very well lit in the studio all the same. Just less electric glow. More sun. Yellow sun blue sky and the nice grey drapings of a Saturday afternoon. Brewed some green tea. Let the bag steep just a tad too long. Saw a cute picture of a dog in Scotland bravely jumping over a bonnie wee brook (creek) this morning; dog jumped earlier this week. These sound selections come from those two experiences. - SyfPlaylist: Miro's Band,

Syf Sloane? More like SIP* Sloane. Because she sipped from hot milk with vanilla (called a "steamer" in barista parlance) throughout this whole show. Perhaps that can be tasted in the music she's selected. Syf calls this show "very thinky" and her mother calls it "meditative" - both feel quite apt. Syf's thinking has been moving along spiral-y trails and whorl tracks recently. Snail shells and the upturned hull of a ship, wooden ribs trying to remember when they were trees nuzzling the sky's chin

Been reading Beowulf again, different translations, different versions, some all poetic text, others prose, still others illustrated. And that got me thinking about caves. If I were Grendel or his mother, I think I would stay in the cave, among the rusty swords and dinosaur bones. Consider the following how I think that would sound, a pleasant life lurking cave style:Playlist: Virginia Grand Military Band, featuring J. P. Sousa, Loras J.

Month's end. Rent's due (probably). February's rent. But I'm not a landlord, so I won't be asking for any money or even some sort of barterable good. Oh no, I simply ask for a slice of your time, a few follicles of sonic attention, an ear half-pricked towards the wobbling speakers of a nearby radio. January 31, 2026. Or, across the Atlantic, 31st of January, 2026. Or, again, if, and only if, if you happen to be Julius Caesar and you also happen to be wondering just exactly how many days you've been

"The Coyote" / If you get back off the interstates / And away from urban trends, / You'll find a coyote doesn't have / A multitude of friends. / But I kind of like to see one, / Or hear him greet the day. / He's sort of part of our old West / That's fading fast away. / Though he demands his tribute / I'll let him have his due. / Let him take his cut, and welcome. / I guess it's his world, too. / by Wallace McRae, from "Cowboy Curmudgeon and Other Poems"Playlist: Gene Kucherawy - I Forget How The
