Tonight! Pandora's Jukebox

This time, it's for real. Pandora's Jukebox is happening this Sunday night from nine to midnight. Our Summer Pledge Drive is barreling down the highway of the collective conscience, which means it's the absolute perfect time to show me some love. Call in with your bizarre requests and oddly improbably accents. I'll do my best to reciprocate with appropriately inappropriate responses. Someone slurry and apparently on mescaline called me last month, and I pretended it was a call from the beyond. Make this medium happy with your best dead people impersonations, and will do my best to channel the best music from the cosmos. I'll match your altered states of consciousness with my altared states and we'll have a ball. Hey Dubai, if YOU can't afford the membership, I'll assume you're a jailbird. In which case, you really should contact me with a music request. Cape Cod Community Radio is one of the last vestiges of sanity in these absurd, hyperbolic, obfuscated, translucent, barbaric, evolving, transcendent and paradoxical times.

A membership is just $50, and a sustaining membership of Healing Wisdom or Pandora's Jukebox or your favorite WOMR show for $156, gets you a pledge gift, a luxurious artfully designed beach towel. Or, you can buy vinyl records from our online store here. There's something for everybody.

Comedian Kate Clinton on Healing Wisdom

This Thursday at 9am EST on 92.1 WOMR, 91.3 WFMR, and streaming at womr.org

Guess who's coming to Ptown for Grrrly GirlSplash week? Why yes, it's Kate Clinton, feminist humorist (self-described "fumerist"), political comedian, author, columnist, film and stage actress. Her books include What the L? and Don't Get me Started. She's celebrating her 33rd year on the scene, with performances in Provincetown this summer. So, hop on the L train this Thursday morning with Healing Wisdom for a dynamic interview with a former high school teacher turned lesmedian. "I think that one woman's conspiracy theory is another man's history." She's brilliant.

Turns Out, I'm a Troublemaker Afterall

Vintage Trouble is grounded by deep roots and carried by angels. My husband and I turned into pumpkins at the stroke of midnight, or we would have followed these guys to Portugal and even Stolkholm. Not like we have a syndrome or anything, we're just Troublemakers. We might get hypnotized into a gaga-like altered state of consciousness and never come home to our adorable son.

I was so impressed by lead singer, Ty Taylor. He is part preacher, part witchdoctor, and part godfather of soul. He got everyone pumped up and participatory, not easy even with an enthusiastic audience these days. Technology seems to have made people detached from their bodies, from their life force energy, and from living in the present moment. Just look at footage from big shows at stadiums and often people have their iphones raised above their heads, nearly motionless. Have American audiences always been so stiff? I feel ill if I try to say still when I listen to music. Vintage Trouble has an intoxicating quality, and they won't settle for a little submission. They want you to totally lose yourself. If anyone can make it happen, they can. And they did. We got down and stomped it out, even the last vestiges of stale repressive puritanism left in Helltown.

Yes, Vintage Trouble is just as phenomenal in Ptown as they were in Burlington and as they will be in Barcelona. They have limitless talent. Soulful, engaging, good humored, kind-hearted, and incredibly stellar rockstars. Beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful! Go Venice! My hometown knows how to birth real chemistry! And they sure know how to exorcise a congregation. Thank you Vintage Trouble for your shamanistic gymnastics. The Eastern Seaboard needs more of you!

Us Ptown Troublemakers have Tony Pasquale of The Squid Jiggers Blend to thank for the night of magic. I think the band rocked the puritanical stale air off the peninsula for good with their antics. I could have danced all night long without stopping. I'm hooked and I think I'm withdrawing, seriously, I need me some VT on IV STAT!!! Matty Dread of The Soul Funky Train spun some tunes between the acts and was fun and groovy as always. Jenny Dee and the Deelinquents were a delight and inspired many gyrations. Miss Dee is Deevvvvinnnneee. What a special night. And, our kid's still asleep. Amazing!! Please, someone pay me to sing jazz and blues, ride bareback in a German forest, learn Kung Fu, and really sword fight like I just stepped out of a Joan of Arc Epic by day.....so I can spend my nights dancing until dawn barefoot under the stars...listening to Vintage Trouble of course!

Photoshoot with Musician Denya LeVine

Denya LeVine is a Cape Cod musician and WOMR Deejay from The Fiddle and the Harp. She plays an eclectic mix of music including Klezmer, Celtic and The Beachboys. Denya's traveled extensively in the Middle East and Europe. She spent time living in Afghanstan in the 1960s, a true troubadour.

White Noise and Vintage Noise

Had an epic dream about tracking down and interviewing author Don DeLillo who was mooonlighting as a preacher and patiently building a model village of Victorian England on the edge of a swampland, shingle by shingle.

Looky what I found: Steppenwolf Does DeLillo

Look what else I found: me and some others at the Provincetown International Film Festival's HBO Audience Awards suffering from Saki's bad audio and a whole second delay.

VINTAGE TROUBLE is coming to Provincetown Town Hall, Friday July 11th in a benefit for WOMR! Jenny Dee & The Deelinquents opening! ALL info and tickets right here: http://womr.org/vintage-trouble/! Don't miss it! As seen on Letterman, The Tonight Show, and on stages at sold out stadiums.

Lots of great angel work this week, bunches of transcripts to type up, teas to make, protocols to deliver, but this weekend I gotta write, bitch, write. As much as I love working for the people, I also must fulfill my dream to live in a symbiotic harmony with the Universal Intelligence...or it will cannibalize me I'm quite certain.

Shaman author Serge Kahili King, PHD on Healing Wisdom

My interview with shaman author Serge Kahili King, Ph.D. airs tomorrow morning at 9am EST. He talks with me about his work, from organizing community aid projects in Senegal to the philosophy behind the Hawaiian healing tradition. Serge Kahili King has published the world's largest selection of books and tapes on Huna, the Polynesian philosophy and practice of effective living, and on the spirit of Aloha, the attitude of love and peace for which the Hawaiian Islands are so famous. He shares extensively on Hawaiian culture through his fiction, nonfiction, his audio tapes, and his articles. Tune in to WOMR 92.1 fm Provincetown, WFMR 91.3 fm Orleans or streaming globally at http://womr.org!

In the next several months, we have Joan Rivers, John Waters, David Sedaris AND Amy Goodman doing benefits for Cape Cod's Outermost Radio WOMR! Pretty freaking amazing. I love these people.

We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Program...

Heating up around the globe:
the icecaps are melting making for better jet skiing over and around what remains of the K2 peak; children are going into puberty earlier than ever before causing a peculiar jump in google image searches for "sexy toothfairy selfie"; GMOs are morphing human DNA causing pro-lifers to become bug rights activists; and a jump in bee casualties is causing the cosmetic industry to tap into this formerly unexploited resource in a new campaign challenging junior high scientists across the country to make safe and effective bee venom Botox alternatives.

Feel Good Animal Story!!>>> Rumor has it that the runaway Provincetown Bear may make a surprise appearance at the Provincetown International Film Festival to present an award for Best ForBEARance in Hollywood. Locals and out-of-towners alike can rejoice whether the famed bear returns or not, knowing that there will be sure to be oodles of pumped up and dapper Ptown bears on this side of town regardless. Har har har. Sorry folks, I just watched Marc Maron's one man show, Thinky Pain, last night.

This news reel moment has been brought to you by Coffin Nail Cigarettes, for the Realist and the Rayndian.

This Sunday night from 9 to midnight, Pandora's Jukebox will not air on WOMR, due to our live coverage of the Provincetown International Film Festival closing party/ HBO Awards Ceremony. WOMR's deejay Matty Dread of the Soul Funky Train will be hosting. I'll be greeting and mingling with folks as a WOMR deejay/talk host. I may or may not wind up babysitting people's kids, being mistaken for Lady Gaga, or channeling someone's dead grandmother. I'm sure to feel a bit Dada with my lack of familiarity with who's who...so I'll just use my radar to chat with heartfelt people.

Ptown is all ablush in the summer sun. I'll be back the following Sunday June 29th with Pandora's Jukebox, channeling intergalactic music straight from the cosmos. We will venture through interstellar dimensions of shamanic rock, leap through portals of electroswing, hip hop through supernovas of alien frequencies and swim globally in new wave surf, dressed in our indie alternative midnight soul suits. Tune in globally on http://womr.ORG for sonic solutions, melodic prophesies, and raging rhapsodies. You will likely hear lil' ditties like this.

Another Kind of Guardian Angel

Been channeling many clear messages from a multitude of people who have passed on, on behalf of my clients. Always blows my mind. Really amazing. Sometimes, relationships seem to remain just as complicated and multifaceted when people cross over as they were in this physical life. Always so intense when people pass over, but hold on to the sadness of missing their beloveds. And sometimes their missing and loving is so profound and palpable that I wind up crying with the loved ones who are so adoring of the people whom they have left behind. (My clients.) When my clients are with me and their people come to speak during the reading, I try not to get overly emotional. A challenge for an empath, I try to let the words speak to the emotion of those beloved departed without letting the waterworks flow.

Oh, my God! Holy Ship! What could possibly be better than Cape Cod in the Summer? Cape Cod in the summer rocking and bopping to the groovy, suave, dapper and smoking vibrations of Vintage Trouble! The bluesy gospel inspired gyrations will hypnotize you, mesmerize you, and finally, immobilize you. If you love boogying til you drop...from wherever you are....take one of these:

...to drive to Ptown July 11th to see these sassy dapper gentleman rockers...
...with a ticket from here: https://www.facebook.com/events/763102803714220/

Check 'em out...

"Why you tryin to stay still, when the groove is movin? Tell me what's the point, what the hell are you provin? Let the beat get in your body. Stop tryin to fight now, start to rattle your shaker. That's it, all right now. One, two, three, push your pelvis with me. I said, one, two, three, push your pelvis with me."

I've often wondered this, when I'm one of a few people dancing in a group of hundreds of people. But, it aint gonna be like that this night. Oh no!

Even if they don't take their beatnik jazz gogo dancers with them you still get James Brown happy feet, Little Richard crescendos and hoots, music that evokes early R&B, and the Wild West/Turn-of-the-century-London-derby-hat-clad-cuteness and retro-60s-suaveness of this delightful band!
