SPECS ONE - RETURN OF THE ARTIST on the Inside Track, Wednesday, 9 p.m.
In what might be the oddest fitting release from Sun City Girls' Alan 
Bishop's Abduction label, we find ourselves faced with a collection of 
classic Northwest jams from producer/MC Specs One, who was one of the 
biggest forces in the underground Seattle hip-hop scene of the mid-90s. 
Before this discography, his music could only be found on mix tapes and 
ultra-rare 12-inches, and was relatively unknown outside of Washington.

WOMEN IN HIP-HOP on the Thursday Night Feature, Thursday, 9 p.m. to 
midnight
Tune in as we explore feminine contributions to the genre.

BANG ON A CAN - BANG ON A CAN MEETS KYAW KYAW NAING on the Inside Track, 
Friday, 9 p.m.
NYC avant-hipsters offer a new collaboration with Burmese outfit Kyaw Kyaw
Naing. Dynamic and forceful percussion that delights the ear, a fireworks 
display of lightning-fast drumming. One of many successful 
collaborations/tributes for Bang on a Can, who have also experimented with 
the music of Terry Riley and Phillip Glass.

LOUISE MASSEY on Hell or High Water, Sunday, 1 to 2 p.m.
Born on a Texas ranch in 1908 and raised riding horses in New Mexico, 
"original rhinestone cowgirl" Louise Massey can legitimately lay claim to 
the singing cowgirl moniker, unlike other popular female vocalists of the 
day. Performing as the Massey Family with her siblings, husband/composer 
Milt Mabie, and her fiddle-playing father, Massey's glamorous cowgirl 
image quickly made her a star and earned the group stints on popular radio 
shows like The National Barn Dance. Hear Louise perform solo, with the 
Massey Family, and as Louise Massey & The Westerners on this week's show.

ARCH HALL JR. - WILD GUITAR! on the Inside Track, Monday, 9 p.m.
Norton Records gives us the collected works of surf/garage guitarist Arch 
Hall, who from the mid-50s to the early-60s starred in and recorded 
the soundtracks to over a dozen films, including "Wild Guitar" and "The 
Sadist." This quirky collection features over 30 of Hall's best cuts with 
his group the Archers as well as many tasty soundclips from his films.
