MADLIB, "Shades of Blue: Madlib Invades Blue Note" on the Inside Track,
Wednesday 9 p.m.  
West coast hip-hop producer extraordinaire Madlib, aka Yesterday's New 
Quintet, Quasimoto, Joe McDuphrey, the Beat Conductor, etc. dips into the 
hallowed Blue Note catalog for this set of remixes and small combo 
re-interpretations of compositions by label greats like Frank Foster, 
Bobbi Humphrey, Donald Byrd, Horace Silver, and others.

DOO WOP on the Thursday Night Feature, Thursday 9 p.m.-midnight.  
Explored this week will be doo wop, the style of black vocal group music
loved by the nations' teenagers in the 1950s.  During the first half of
the program, expect to hear a chronological survey of the genre, from the
beginnings in the late 1940s through the doo wop revival in the 1960s.  
During the last half, themes such as "bird groups," "girl groups," "young
groups," and "racially-mixed groups" will be featured.

Various Artists, "GLOBALISTA: IMPORT - EXPORT" on the Inside Track, Friday
9 p.m. 
Contemporary popular dance musics the world over - Zouglou, Russian
Ska Punk, Turkish and Chinese pop, African hip-hop, and more - 
conveniently and lovingly collected on one disc by German label Trikont, 
otherwise available only at local street vendors or maybe eBay if 
you're lucky.

SOUL COUNTRY COVERS on Hell or High Water, Sunday 1-2 p.m.  This week will
feature covers of country songs by R&B and soul artists, played back to
back with their country originals. Dismantling useless genre distinctions
and stereotypes, Solomon Burke sings George Jones, Aretha sings Willie,
and Al Green does Kristofferson for all he's worth.  Tune in for some of
the best from both the soul and country catalogues, including Arthur 
Alexander, Johnny Cash, James Carr, Ray Charles, Bobby Bare, the
Staple Signers, Hank Williams, and more.

KILLING JOKE's self-titled first album on the Classic Inside Track, Sunday
2-3 p.m. 
British doom-merchants Killing Joke emerged in 1981 with this, their 
self-titled debut, one of the first albums to fuse harsh electronics
and rock 'n' roll songcraft into a framework the world would come to know
as "industrial rock" later in the decade.

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, "Here Comes the Indian" on the Inside Track, Monday 9
p.m. The fifth album by these Brooklyn outsiders who've made splotches on
the general weirdo radar as Avey Tare, Panda Bear and Geologist (the 
addition of a fourth persona, Deaken, accounts for the new handle). 
Keywords include: ethnic-punky, tantric jamout, long faux outdoorsy 
sounds, godDAMN how do they make this so killer. Out on their own Paw 
Tracks label. Animal Collective will also be appearing LIVE at Nightlight 
on Wednesday, July 2 with Ogurusu Norihide - a Chapel Hill exclusive!
