So stoked to announce that I have a new radio show of my own!

Today’s show was a collection of jazz on a loose Spring theme — bunnies, birds, blossoms, and wet weather. Thanks for listening and see you in two weeks!

This morning we listened to a selection of Child Ballads (a set of 305 folk tunes from Scotland and England, collected by James Francis Child in the 19th century).

Good morning and thanks for joining me for a heaping helping of country that doesn’t call 911! The playlist today defines country broadly — we’ve got classic outlaw country in here, of course, but also old time and Southern folk and blues. This haters’ ball takes on not only policemen, but jailers, judges, and company bosses, too. From songs decrying the “gun thugs” hired by coal company bosses to violently oppress miners to songs musing on fantasy worlds bereft of policing; from songs about life in the carceral system to songs espousing the joys of defying cops just to run the roads and get high — it’s all in here. See you in two weeks!

This morning on the Breakfast Blend we reviewed great stuff released in January 2021, from country to microtonal minimalist drone and beyond.

This morning we’re looking at the music of Les Légions Noires, or L.L.N., or the Black Legions as they’re variously called — a small, extremely insular circle of black metal musicians in France, mostly around the city of Brest, in the early to mid 90s.

This morning‘s show was a recap of my favorite releases from 2020. Thanks for listening and Happy New Year!

This morning, we celebrated the shortest day and the longest night with some winter music of all kinds, including traditional carols, folk and experimental music about wintry topics, blizzardy black metal, and music that just sonically evokes winter. Click for more.

This morning we covered Pauline Oliveros, her theory and practice of Deep Listening, and her collaborators and comrades. Click for the playlist, resources, an extended mix, and more.

Today we did a deep dive into the history of New Age music. You can listen to an archived version of the show at WRIR’s website here.

I hosted the Monday Breakfast Blend on WRIR 97.3 FM today playing all heavy metal intro tracks. Here’s the playlist and archive link.
