Welcome to the magickal world of The Radio8Ball Show! A world where questions are answered by picking songs at random and interpreting them like musical tarot cards.
ON THE RADIO: There are two broadcast versions of The Radio8Ball Show. The classic version is hosted by Andras Jones and Tammy T and can be heard every Tuesday from 6 to 8pm (pst) at www.kaosradio.org. Now there is a new AM version broadcasting Fridays from Noon to 1pm on http://www.1150kknw.com/. The Radio8Ball Show classic does musical divination using the CD shuffle function. The AM version features live musicians, celebrity guests, and calls from the audience. Guests on the radio show have included Rickie Lee Jones, Dan Bern, Michael Penn, John Wesley Harding & hundreds of other great travelling musicians some of whom are featured in our top friends below. If you are interested in being a guest on The Radio8Ball Show please send an e-mail to [email protected]. CDs sent to PO BOX 7261, Oly, WA 98507 will be included in the Radio8Box and will be played on the show if they are randomly selected.
LIVE ONSTAGE: Part experimental theater. Part rock and roll cabaret. Part mystic mind-expansion. The Radio8Ball Show is a night of live rock and roll divination hosted by Andras Jones featuring a different live musical guest every night. In the stage show the songs are chosen by spinning a large wheel divided up into 13 symbols which correspond with songs from the artist's repertoire. Although the use of a spinning wheel as an element of a rock and roll show is nothing new (Elvis Costello pioneered the song wheel idea on his late-80's tours) its use for divination in this show is a neat twist on an old idea. For information about The Radio8Ball Show in your area check the event listings below.
ON THE INTERNET: The Radio8Ball Online Oracle is available twenty-four hours a day at www.radio8ball.com. Featuring 78 songs chosen to correspond with the cards from the Crowley-Thoth Tarot the online oracle is totally free and confidential. Here's how it works: 1. CLICK ON THE GREEN ARROW --- 2. CLICK ON THE 8BALL --- 3. WRITE YOUR QUESTION ON THE PARCHMENT --- 4. CLICK ON "GIVE US A SHAKE" --- 5. LISTEN TO YOUR READING.
The Radio8Ball Show is a lot of fun to play with in all its formats. Radio8Ball is also a powerful exercise for the part of our mind which recognizes synchronicity. Our experience is that having a good sense of humor and a willingness to look at oneself critically is the best way to approach the pop oracle. The more we open ourselves to the pop oracle all around us the more it speaks to us and the luckier we get. If this is your first encounter with the pop oracle, welcome to the game, and if this is nothing new to you, greetings fellow traveler.
