i am partial to this show from a Portland, Oregon college radio, "Psychedelic Renaissance", which features a lot of lost albums from 1966-72 and groups like the CA Quintet, Music Emporium and Complex. One of the good acts I found out about from that show was Clive's Original Band, a really good if someewha obscure english psych-folk act from the late 60s.

I should have my own FM radio show by this time next year, called "Expo 67"(probably a two hour midweeek graveyard shift), it will be mostly on psychedelia (with a pretty wide definition).
QUOTE: Looks good Clive, do they have show archives?
Sadly not - just two 'made for the website' mixtapes, which seem to be of inferior selection quality ...but which I'm still currently downloading anyway!
(edit: Weird! I just changed Linus' name simply by quoting from him!)
I hope you will belie your handle and only use your name-altering powers for good, Clive!
Too bad about the Croatian radio archive. I have a few other good radio shows bookmarked on my home computer (mostly from north american radio shows), I'll post some when I get home this weekend.
UA, very cool, did you actually get that postcard at Expo 67? That really seemed like such a landmark event, four decades later the cultural aftershocks are still visible in Canada.
Indeed, linus. I visited Expo '67 three or four times, more or less blackmailing my parents into making the drive from New York.
It was in many ways the genesis of my plan to emigrate to Canada, and the impetus for me to study French, start collecting Canadian stamps, and to copy Roger Doucet's version of O Canada. Life was a lot simpler at age 8.
Awesome, UA! as good as Expo 67 looks today on film and in pictures, it must have been something else in the eyes of a child...
Thanks for the link Inca. I just looked at KROC's website, it looks like an R&B top 40 station now. I don't know if there is a single commercial radio station left that is good in the US. Thankfully community and campus radios have more than picked up the slack.
My favourite station is the Cybernetic Broadcasting System, playing Disco, Techno, Italo, Synth-Pop, Soundtracks etc. They're on "air" all day, every day.
