About me: Welcome to the 360 Sound Radio page on MySpace. My name is Richard White and I am your host. I broadcast on Radio23.org on Sunday nights to Monday mornings from 11 pm to 4 am Pacific Daylight Time. I offer up as many different musics as possible with the basic forms being jazz, psyche, experimental, blues, and folk, with a dash of classical and country here and there. I also intend to broadcast classic radio shows in the near future.
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Recorded:
live on March 16, 2003 at the Beta Lounge in San Francisco
In
1967, San Francisco’s Fifty
Foot Hose were certainly one of the innovators of a sound that
took Psychedelia to new heights and was captured on the band’s one
record, Cauldron. They are a totally unique hybrid—on one
hand pulsating bay area acid rock, on the other, fractured electronic
freakery, becoming one whole cohesive being. The sci-fi-ish video
game-like artwork hinted at the sounds within, as did the Limelight
label’s pedigree for truly progressive sounds. Band leader, Cork
Marcheschi, used homemade electronic devices to create crude and
experimental soundscapes and instrumental compositions that were
sprinkled throughout the album.
Often starting shows with a
swelling rumble that exploded into the first song, they soon
developed a rabid following on the SF scene, though there was the
occasional totally wrong gig, like when a very-pregnant Nancy had to
perform at a Catholic Girls’ school! Still, the group wowed the
crowds, performing with greats like Chuck
Berry and Fairport
Convention.
"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell." Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press
Hi! That kind of makes you weep for this country doesn't it? Those people are so stupid it's really quite scary. And they are everywhere here in Orlando!
I'll be back in SF Nov. 10. I'm staying at a place on Noe Street. I can't wait to go back. Keep in touch!
