Hi! I'm DJ Gilliflower, host of Turtles Have Short Legs.

Turtles Have Short Legs is an intoxicating mix of psychedelic & experimental sounds new & old. You'll hear both vintage & contemporary krautrock/kosmische, acid folk/weirdlore, experimental ambient, hauntological delights, popsike pipedreams, analog electronics, surreal sound collage/drone, avant-rock and avant-pop oddities, spiritual jazz, unusual international sounds of all stripes, and more (e.g., post-punk, indie pop).

***SPECIAL GIFTS FOR THOSE WHO GIVE TO XRAY HERE AT MY PEER-2-PEER FUNDRAISING PAGE***

I am repeating the giveaway that I offered during XRAY's Fall 2025 Fundraiser:
The first 12 people who give $25 or more to my P2P page will receive an original, analog paper collage made (by me) from vintage and antique materials. I make these collages every week, then scan and crop them to make the cover image for that week's show. I have a pile of these already made, and I will be making more each week for future shows. I will select a collage especially for you. You can take a look at the cover images for my shows at my show page (https://xray.fm/shows/turtles-have-short-legs) to get an idea of the type of collage you'll receive.

Additionally, anyone who gives any amount to my P2P page will get a vinyl sticker with the psychedelic Turtles Have Short Legs logo, designed by Steven Krakow (AKA Plastic Crimewave) in addition to your XRAY thank you note and sticker.

Though I have been making radio for decades, the program known as Turtles Have Short Legs started its life in 2016 on another Portland station and made the move to XRAY in the fall of 2022. This is truly a labor of love for me--I put countless hours into creating the show and a good bit of my own money purchasing music to share with you via the amazing medium of radio. Your support truly means the world to me and to the station. Thank you so much for listening!
