Here it is folks, the second episode of Vitamin Fuzz, featuring two sugarcoated hours of 60's garage-psych. from the British Invasion and of course the good ol' U.S.S.A., Swedish LSD-punk, Rocky Mountain Highs and Great Lake Lows, repetitive sun-drenched desert jams, kraut freak-outs and a slew of extraordinary hallucinatory echoes. Those cryptic voices yelling demonic chants may be in your head, but most likely they're Vitamin Fuzz radio signals beaming into your cochlea. Relax, they'll subside in a bit. In the meantime have some chocolate or a nice ciggy wiggy dilly and let the fumes waft with the horrors!

Vitamin Fuzz can be heard live every first and third Wednesday of the month on WHPK 88.5 FM. from 6-8am CST. The next show will be on May 6th when the darkness meets the pink clouds on the horizon. Tune in or 2012 won't take kindly to you.

Thanks to Webmaster J, a.k.a. Professor Doom for his guidance through the foggy abyss.
