Reverend Pagan and Crystal Daze have been trading off vacations and trying to stay on top of it as summer kicks in. Unfortunately, during all of this the godhead that is Roky Erickson passed away. It goes without saying we wouldn’t being doing this show, nor would we have a name for this show without him. That being said, Episode 18 “I Have Always Been Here Before” is our tribute to the legend. His life was a story that is hard to imagine, let alone believe, and we are all the better for it! He fought the demons of overuse, systemic abuse and mental health, and always emerged to create art! We can only try to aspire to overcome our demons so often as he did. RIP Roky! We love you!Special Shout Out To Steven Krakow aka Plastic Crimewave for letting us use his amazing sketch as the Episode art! He really is the best!!! Set I- 13th Floor Elevators part 11.

EPISODE 13: All Night at the Spaceball PromFor the lucky 13th episode we thought what better way to celebrate than to have a Glam Rock throw down! Put on your lipstick, shower yourself in glitter, and put on your shiniest pair of tights because we’re having a vamped up prom stomp!We need to take a moment and talk serious! The world of glam was full of cross dressers, spaced-out dandies, and girls-who-wereboys-who-were-girls-who-were Space People! Keeping with that frame of mind we also want to remind our listeners about our motto: Be Weird, Stay Strange, and Remember to Take Care of One Another! We want any of you out there in the LGTBQ community, and other maligned peoples, to know, that in these dark times, where the cruelest hypocrites in the world are making life seem impossible, taking care of yourself, and other humans is a revolutionary act in itself! If you are struggling under these chances we are providing information on some support groups and suicide prevention hotlines! It’s important that all the weirdos and losers, the lovers and dreamers, destroyers and builders stick together and do what we can to build a better world!

The Reverend Charles Pagan comes back to Earth and gathers his thoughts after an epic weekend of mind-expanding music at the Milwaukee Psych Fest VII! In trying to convey the amazing five day stretch from Des Moines to Wisconsin, the Reverend rambles through his travels and the moments in the week that stretched his brain like spaghetti.
