Brother Zeno The night Drifts Sideways

Radio Free Fairmont

Radio Free Fairmont
It's 1974 and in a basement rec room a corner of the room has been converted into an FM low power underground pirate radio station broadcasting deeper cuts from both mainstream and obscure albums of the 1967-1974 era to an audience in the Fairmont, West Virginia area dominated by 2 top 40 AM stations. Radio Free Fairmont is the underground FM voice of the Monongahela Valley — low‑power, semi‑legal, and spiritually necessary. Hosted by the elusive Brother Zeno, the station spins deep cuts from 1967–1974: psychedelic obscurities, folk whispers, jazz‑rock wanderings, and cosmic pop fragments that never made it past the gatekeepers. No hits. No jingles. No apologies. Just like true Pirate Radio we stay underground to avoid "THE MAN" and then pop up unexpectedly to broadcast and then we go dark. When we're on the station plays, when we're off the air our signoff and test pattern run.

Brother Zeno Starless Signal

"Fairmont… if you’re awake, you already know something’s wrong with the sky. No stars. Not one. Just a kind of… glow. Like the clouds are lit from the inside. This is Brother Zeno, coming to you from the Katherine Street basement. I’m staying on the air as long as the signal holds. Two hours, maybe more. If you’re out there, keep your radio close. Tonight feels like a night when the world forgets itself."
