If you’ve been reading PopCult for the last few days, you may know that I had an MG flare up near the end of last week’s big Anniversary event, so the art-making fingers aren’t cooperating with the rest of me.

Because of that, this week we bring you a rejected variant of a piece I ran in this space over ten years ago. It’s a digital abstract that I think evokes a mid-century, free jazz feeling, like it’d be right at home on the wall of a beatnik hangout or on the cover of a Modern Jazz album. If you strain your imagination you might be able to hear the bongos or smell the cheap incense.

I call it, “Hipster Art.”

Aren’t you glad I rescued it from the slush pile?

You don’t have to answer that.

Meanwhile, over in radioland, Monday beginning at 2 PM on The AIR, we bring you an encore of last week’s episode of Psychedelic Shack, and then at 3 PM we do the same with 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.

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.

Because the RFC marathon ate up all the weekend replay dates, this week, except for Radio Free Charleston, all of our musical specialty shows will give you a second chance to hear the shows that debuted last week, during PopCult’s anniversary week.

At 8 PM you can hear a classic episode of The Comedy Vault devoted to the conceptual comedy of The Firesign Theater.

Tonight at 9 PM we do not have a Monday Marathon. In its place we bring our new Monday night line-up feature two hours each of Curtain Call and Beatles Blast, plus six hours overnight with an assortment of our programming from Haversham Recording Institute: Psychedelic Shack, Sydney’s Big Electric Cat and Prognosis.

Fans of the marathon shouldn’t go into morning.  Next weekend sees the beginning of The Sunday Marathon, which will allow us to feature our marathons in the daylight hours.
