REPLIKAS, “Dadahuri” on the Inside Track, Wednesday 9 p.m.
WXYC's favorite new Istanbul avant-rock band Replikas return with 
another album full of edgy hooks reminiscent of The Ex, sophisticated 
studio editing, and an ample amount of traditional Turkish reeds, 
strings and drums. On Ada Muzik of somewhere in Turkey.

CALYPSO on the Thursday Night Feature, Thursday 9 p.m.-midnight
Tune in this Thursday for a survey of calypso music. We'll look at it's
history, form, and some of the famous singers and battles of the genre,
which grew out of the carnival festival of Trinidad and Tobago.

JOE GIBBS & THE PROFESSIONALS, “No Bones for the Dogs” on the Inside 
Track, Friday 9 p.m.
Jamaican producer/entrepreneur Joe Gibbs, along with engineer Errol
Thompson known as 'The Mighty Two,' issued some of the first dub sides 
in Kingston in the early 70s. This collection, on the UK imprint 
Pressure Sounds, brings together a sampling tracks by Gibbs's house 
band the Professionals from '74-'79 that have been mixed down and 
peppered up with The Mighty Two's trademark sound effects (ringing 
telephones, sirens, barking dogs, and the kitchen sink). And a mighty 
listening experience it is.

ANDREW HILL, “Point of Departure” on the Classic Inside Track,
Sunday 2-3 p.m.
Andrew Hill's 1964 opus, “Point of Departure,” holds true to the title 
by illustrating the jazz pianist's shift from his earlier more 
traditional sound to the more complex, line-straddling tones that mark 
his mid-60s releases.  This album features an all-star cast of Eric 
Dolphy and Joe Henderson on saxophones, Kenny Dorham on trumpet, 
Richard Davis on bass, and Tony Williams on drums.  From the opening of 
the first cut "Refuge" onward, Hill shifts from large open scales to 
moments of angular hard bop and minor-key blues.  The entire album is a 
collection of jumps in style from the performers, for in Hill's 
compositional world, everything is up for grabs.  Possibly the 
most amazing auditory feature of this album is the distinct difference 
between the sound of the beginning of the first track to the end of the 
last with no sort of abrupt change, just a gradual transformation.

DEXTER ROMWEBER on the Backyard BBQ, Sunday 7-8 p.m.
Dexter Romweber is gonna drop in for a long over-due visit tonight on
the Backyard BBQ, helping us get 2003 started right.  He's got a gig
down at the Cave afterwards, so if you've never heard Dexter (for
shame!), tonight would be the night to tune into the 'Q, get caught up
on your seminal scenester history, and then head on down to the Cave for
some authentic Chapel Hill Old School--as in Pre-ECHHS!

CLANG QUARTET, “The Separation of Church and Hate” on the Inside Track, 
Monday 9 p.m.
The second album from Greensboro percussionist extraordinaire Scotty
Irving's (ex-Geezer Lake) one-man sound/art project devoted to 
commenting on the current state of the Christian church and banging on 
as many percussive noise-makers as possible in the process. Out on 
Raleigh's Silber Media.
