FILK-TASTIC Live session May 14 2017 at AWDIO and Icecast Stream

Heard Sundays 8pm to 11pm Mountain Time USA

As our presentation of the rare filk genre wraps up we give recognition to the many musicians of the pieces showcased tonight.  Some of them include Leslie Fish, Green Mountain Boys, Heather Alexander, Larry Warner & Tom Payne, Miracle of Sound, Julia Ecklar and Ann Prather, Stan Rogers, Axel F, Mercedes Lackey, Ian Fontova Valero, SJ Tucker, Heather Dale, LMFAO, and Tom Smith.  These unique musicians can be heard at gathers live and many have albums published that can be found online.  If you like this kind of music please consider finding their works or websites and send them your monetary support.  Nothing keeps a musician going like some coin in their purse or pocket.


Filk has a variety of styles and purposes.  There's something in it for every taste from the literary to the political allegory to the irreverent literal.  Most of the genre's musicians follow the bardic traditions and produce for the love of the art.  Listeners will find it more expressive and specific than most modern music.  In it you will find parody, metaphor, tragedy, hope, and the heroic.  It is possessed of a peculiar spirit lacking elsewhere.

Mind Mix Radio is proud to be involved in promoting this genre, a style and form of music you won't find in most stations content today.

We are still developing all the aspects of this station and are continually adding new facets to the operation and content.  Please check back often to see what we're doing!
