IT'S AN EVENT UNPRECEDENTED IN WORLD HISTORY!

Luxuria's about to celebrate its awesome tenth year on the air, and we're having a PARTY as only we can, this Saturday.  And YOU are soooooooo... invited!!

The natural force without equal on the firmament (or on the internet) is going to bust out the It's-My-Jams all day and evening long, filling your earholes with whatever our highly trained RETRO SPECIALIST DJs care to spin at ya!  You'll hear your favorites from throughout the entire week colliding in a mammoth spectacle of seductive groove, a special edition of Strike's Kitsch Niche, and even a one-time-only SPACE PATROL with DJ Carl Howard live in studio with PRETTY WORLD's Audrey Moorehead, for two whole hours!

"My long-suffering people said farewell to their pain to see a band go by - playing love songs" - Chico Buarque (from his song 'A Banda')

Join Switched On Audrey and Josh Mancell for "Tropicalia" a Brazilian Psychedelic trip only on Pretty World Sunday the 23rd at 2 p.m. (pst) The 'Tropicalia' music of the late '60s and early '70s, in many ways, followed the trends of the UK and US: protest songs, psychedelic experimentation, a hippy return to strumming and shouting, heavy rock-glam and so on. Yet, distinct elements of traditional Brazilian culture were embedded (both sincerely and ironically) within the Tropicalia movement creating a unique musical world cohabited by the old and new - and also its fair share of controversy.

Pretty World presents Pretty Names, an all Garota (girl) names show today August 2cd, on LuxuriaMusic.com with me Switched On Audrey at 2 pm pst. I have put together a show mainly of Brazilian artists and a couple of Americans of all girl’s names. Is your name on the list? Well it is if your name is Maria but that is not the only name we have. You will have to listen to hear them all.
And this months goodie bag prize for those who donate monthly will be a DVD of Bucket full of Blood ( a beatnik flick), Two Switched On Audrey Handcrafted Bossa Nova, Samba, Jazz cds and the new fabulous vintage styled animation book “Wildsville the Artwork of Derek Yaniger” graciously signed by the artist himself!
