Sinopsis
Your host Erik Bluhm takes you on an audio tour of the West you might be unaware of, visiting obscure moments in musical history along the way. You might hear folk rock and proto-raga rock 45 from the mid 60s, rural psychedelic private LP meanderings, self-released audio poetry, obscure history lessons, DIY art/synth and post punk sides, and/or experimental nothingness in tape form.Bluhm was the editor of Great God Pan magazine (the Champion of Californiana) through the 90s and West Coast Fog may be seen as an aural extension of that venture.
