Sign On My Mind...

Today's Oracle explored a softer side of psyche...there was more psych infused folk and sunshine pop in the bunch.  Here's hoping it was the just the right thing to ease your possible hangover...I swear it seemed everyone was out in full force at the bars last night.  Oracle was there to sooth your weary head.  Drape it in magical colours of beautiful music.  Oh yeah...that's the stuff.  Check out today's show by clicking here: http://cjamlog3.cjam.ca/test-program-guid/

It's a happy day and Oracle brings you tidings of peace and love.

Check out the little video below and put some sunshine back in your day...

Now that I have your attention, I must announce that it is time once again to vote for your favourite shows on CJAM.  

The 2013 Jammy Awards are fast approaching and the time is now to vote.  Oracle is in for some steep competition this year folks.  There are not as many categories as in years past...I'm crossing my fingers I'll at least get a lovely honourable mention.  Cast your vote here: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1186462/CJAM-Jammy-Awards-2013.  I'll be posting info on the awards ceremony that will follow.  Everyone is invited to attend.  It's free and fun.  Nobody puts on a party quite like a CJAM party!

Now go out and seize the day friends!!

Svensk Music Interview w/Gustav Ejstes...

Well, prowling YouTube has proved fruitful tonight as I stumbled upon this amazing interview by Svensk Music.  Check out the video post below and hear for yourself how Gustav Ejstes of Dungen feels about his craft.  What inspires him.  What of psychedelic music?  Who and what influences him?  A must watch for fans of the psychedelic genre and of Dungen.  He really makes me smile...

Well now that I'm in a Dungen sort of mood...it begs the question...when will another album be released?  I sincerely hope soon.  I believe the last album was in 2010.  Feels like an eternity!

Jammy Awards Coming Soon

Celebrating Women Who Rock!

Oracle forged ahead of the pack and was the first show of the week to observe International Woman's Day. This day falls on March 8th officially but why wait when there's so much great women of psych to pay tribute to?  Today's show had a lot of energy...well at least until the last set where I got a little folky but it was quite the ride and I truly hope you derive as much pleasure listening to it as I had piecing it together for you.

I couldn't help sing along to all the tunes...even the foreign language ones to some extent.  So if you haven't heard the show yet, I invite you to click the link here http://cjamlog3.cjam.ca/test-program-guid/ to download in hopes you too will sing along and dance in your seat.

Thanks for all the inspiration friends.  Cheers to another fine week ahead.  Peace!
