This is a bit of a big week for PopCult.  Thursday marks twenty years since the start of this blog. While i was regularly posting my art here for the first year, it wasn’t until a couple of months before our first anniversary that I decided to begin every week with a “Monday Morning Art” post.  Since the beginning of PopCult, I’ve published around a thousand works of art, some digital, some photography and much of it physical paintings or drawings.

This week I’m loading up the blog with some special content, including retrospective articles, brand-new reviews and at least a couple of fun photo essays.

This week’s art is a small Impressionistic “painting” of what I saw at The American Sign Museum in Cinncinnati. If you’re not familiar with this cool place, just be patient. I’m running a photo essay of a recent visit there on Friday.

This painting was me attempting to capture the sheer sensory overload and joyous emotion at seeing so much lovingly restored Americana in one place. This was done on heavy illustration board with some new brush pen/paint markers I’m experimenting with.

Over in radioland, Monday beginning at 2 PM on The AIR, we bring you a new episode of Psychedelic Shack, and then at 3 PM an also new edition of Herman Linte’s weekly showcase of the Progressive Rock of the past half-century, Prognosis.  You can listen to The AIR at the website, or on the embedded radio player elsewhere on this page.

We do not have full playlists for the shows, but Nigel will present an hour of Vanilla Fudge on Psychedelic Shack, while Herman devotes the entire show to King Crimson, performing live on Prognosis.

Psychedelic Shack can be heard every Monday at 2 PM, with replays Tuesday at 9 AM, Wednesday at 10 PM, Friday at 1 PM,  and Saturday at 9 AM. You can hear Prognosis on The AIR Monday at 3 PM, with replays Tuesday at 7 AM, Wednesday at 8 PM, Thursday at Noon, and Saturday at 10 AM.

At 8 PM you can hear an hour of Fluffy stand-up comedy on a classic episode of The Comedy Vault.

Tonight at 9 PM for the final edition of Monday Marathon we bring you ten hours of  Mel Larch’s Curtain Call. Starting next week we are shaking up the schedule a little bit following a Labor Day Weekend marathon of Radio Free Charleston. After that, Monday’s will look different, but you can still enjoy The Sunday Marathon after that.
