BEST DANCEHALL OF Õ04 on the Thursday Night Feature, 9 p.m. to midnight
Tune in tonight as we play some of the best tracks from the biggest 
dancehall names of 2004, including Elephant Man, Beenie Man, and Sean 
Paul, but also newcomers to the genre: Richie Spice, Jah Cure, and 
I-Wayne, among others. WeÕll also check out some very new 2005 riddims 
(and remixes!) from Sleepy Dog, Pain Killer, and more.

SHITMAT on the Inside Track, Friday, 9 p.m.
Henry Collins, aka Shitmat, keeps up with his ultra-hyper ragga mashups, 
propelling himself forward attacking both British culture and his 
listeners' ears. Full English Breakfast, his 2nd full length, is a voyage 
through a twisted world of reggae-drenched dancefloor-friendly happy 
jungle plunderphonics that samples everything from Harry Belafonte to 
Handel to Big Ben itself...a must listen for fans of Kid606, People Like 
Us or Jason Forrest/Donna Summer.

SOUTHERN YODELING on Hell or High Water, Sunday, 1-2 p.m.
The earliest historical reference to yodeling comes from the Roman Emperor 
Julian, who complained about the wild shrieking songs of the mountain 
people of the North. In the 1800s, descendents of these mountain-folk 
moved to the Pennsylvania area of America, where they met British and 
Irish immigrants. Gradually these people moved south into Appalachia, 
where the influence of kšlning (from Scandinavian peoples) and French, 
Mexican, African, and Caribbean music gradually gave birth to the cowboy 
yodeling most Gene Autry fans are familiar with.Ê This Sunday's program 
will showcase the epiglottal acrobatics of the South.
