    Non-musical history for today: 1374 – A sudden outbreak of "St. John's Dance" caused people in the streets of Aachen, Germany, to experience hallucinations and begin to jump and twitch uncontrollably until they collapsed from exhaustion and, in some cases, died. There is no modern-day consensus as to why this happened. There are theories that it was stress relief or mass psychogenic illness, in which physical symptoms with no known physical cause are observed to affect a group of people as a form of social influence. I'm thinking, hmmm, this area was probably rural. They probably burned things. I wonder if there were poppies or shrooms or something around there? I really don't know. Boogie on, Alsatians, boogie on. Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for June 24. Recorded in the Omniverus Podcast Studios at Liberty Plaza.

    Non-musical history for today: 1611 – The mutinous crew of Henry Hudson's fourth voyage set Henry, his son, and seven loyal crew members adrift in an open boat in what is now Hudson Bay; they were never heard from again. The story goes that Hudson and his small group broke out of oars and tried to keep up, but the mutineers dropped sails and left the small boat, literally, in its wake. There aren't any known accounts other than the side of the story from the mutineers, being they're the ones that survived. Music history, album anniversaries, birthdays, and deaths for June 23.
