Magic Mushroom Hour with Omega

The Magic Mushroom Hour — Tonight’s Transmission Tremendous… we are tuned into the frequencies tonight. We follow the signal… and the music always brings us home. I am Omega… a traveler of frequencies. Tonight we open another doorway through sound — a place where forgotten bands live again, and where the songs of the past still breathe. Great songs… great writers… and timeless sounds from another time. We begin with Eric Burdon — “We Gotta Get Out of This Place”, followed by a couple of acoustic selections easing us into the journey. From there, we move into Yes — “Yours Is No Disgrace”, then drift into Spirit — The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus in a full vinyl replay. Along the way, we hear one of my favorite Greg Lake numbers — “In the Beginning” — followed by Steve Winwood with “Evening Blue,” “The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys,” and “Can’t Find My Way Home.” We return to Eric Burdon with “All the Good Times.” Then we open a long-form set from Frank Zappa — “Moving to Montana,” “Dynamo Hum,” “Camarillo Brillo,” and “Dirty Love.” From there, we roll into Thin Lizzy with “Running Back” and “Jailbreak,” before finishing the night with a couple of tunes from T. Rex. We follow the signal… and let the music lead the way. Our journey through the soundwaves comes to a close for tonight. The vinyl may stop spinning, but the music never really ends. Somewhere out there, another song is waiting to be discovered. Until we meet again on the long cosmic road… Keep your mind open, your heart free, and let the frequencies guide you. Good night, travelers. Headphones are recommended — or download the show to your car audio system. Remastered classic rock was meant to be heard this way, especially since most of us no longer have the stereo systems we grew up with in the 1970s. Remember those Magneplanars… or the old ESS towers? This is an FM broadcast on North Carolina Public Radio — no ads, no promotion, no money involved — just the love of music. Classic Rock and Progressive Rock. If you enjoy long-form tracks and deep musical journeys, this is your station. Sometimes mellow, sometimes hard — always three hours of nonstop, commercial-free music flowing together the way great radio once did… with just a little of that 1970s weirdness mixed in for fun. If you’re a headphone listener, this is your place. Every track is decompressed and remastered before it reaches the airwaves. It’s all about the music — nothing more. Let the sound carry you.
