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 THROUGH MY PEER-2-PEER FUNDRAISING PAGE*****

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.

Additionally, the first 12 people who give $25 or more to my P2P page can also own a piece of Turtles Have Short Legs history! Every week I make an analog paper collage from vintage and antique materials, then scan it and crop it to make the cover image for that week's show. I've selected 12 of these original collages to giveaway.

You can find a link to a picture of these 12 collages (as well as the Turtles Have Short Legs logo sticker) here:


If there's one in particular that you want, add the letter from A-L associated with that collage to the note when you donate, and I'll earmark it for you.

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 for listening!
