A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

And then payola came back in a big way in the '70s anyway, and has never really left in the commercial radio world. (legal payola = pay "independent promoters" to do the actual bribing of radio music directors)

The electric guitars/elec bass in 4/4 time template wouldn't really codify til surf rock hit in the early '60s.

That Hamp is fantastic, but everyone would call it big-band swing. And Ferlin Husky? That guy's straight-up country.
Not complaining! Lovin this. Just saying it's a fascinating history lesson. Like you said Austin, we're hearing the genre forming.

I love that you could just go knock on the door and meet a legend.
Our own Mike Rogers did that with Rodny Bingenheimer - he went down to KROQ and asked Rodney if he could be Rodney's intern. That simple.
