The most important thing happening on the radio this week is happening...outside of the radio. Yes, there is life after airwaves. This Sunday at 5 pm, come check out the live Backyard BBQ at Chapel Hill Underground! Sets by Old Bricks and Airstrip. Invite yer facebook friends / come on out because it's super cheap ($3 at the door) and there's free food and awesome local music. Here's the event: https://www.facebook.com/events/360807683993151/

Old Bricks is Andy Holmes, Stuart Edwards, Tre Acklen (of Americans in France, Gross Ghost, and Airstrip), and Eddie Sanchez (of Fin Fang Foom, Bellafea). Airstrip (Chapel Hill, NC) >>> Airstrip is Matt Park (of Veelee), Nick Petersen (of Monsonia, Track and Field Recording), John Crouch (of Caltrop, Horseback), and Tre Acklen. 

 

You can prep for the show tonight in the comfort of your living room with the Inside Track at 9pm tonight (Friday). Moritz Von Oswald Trio - Fetch (Honest Jon's) is German techno legend Von Oswald is joined in his trio by Vladislav Delay and Max Loderbauer. "Together the three create a chilled out but still quite enjoyable micro-house sound that incorporates some dub techniques as well as some extensive sampling of nyabinghi drumming and field recordings of polyphonic brass-work from East Africa.

 

Then Sunday, on Hell Or High Water at 1pm, Evan D will explore the early to mid-60s recordings of the criminally under-appreciated soul singer Claudine Clark. After growing up in Philadelphia and recording on the Herald label there in the late 50s, Clark moved in 1961 to New York where she recorded for the Chancellor and Swan labels. Even though her second single "Party Lights" climbed up to #5 on the Billboard Top 100 in late 1962, she never again achieved any commercial success with any of the two dozen or so subsequent singles she released. This week's show will try to play as many as can be crammed into an hour. Don't get it twisted at 2pm on Broken Music, which this week will be the second and final show dedicated to the works of the recently departed British soprano saxophonist Lol Coxhill. Focusing on his later works, we will here some dynamic live solo improvisations from the early 2000s, a nice contemplative collaboration from 1998 with minimal electronic improvisers Ora and a few more various live and studio duets from the last decade of Coxhill's life.  

 

Unwind with some local tunes on the Backyard BBQ Sunday at 8, unless you're still at the BBQ, that is. Then check out the sports at 9 on Sportsrap. With the olympics underway, there will be lots of hype, pre-hype and fond memories. Also, some MLB predictions and NFL previews. Call in!

 

Then, on the Outside Track Monday at 9pm, Mary Halvorson Quintet - Bending Bridges (Firehouse 12)
Fans of 2010's "Saturn Sings" - a WXYC favorite - will enjoy "Bending Bridges", Mary Halvorson's 2nd album with her current quintet. The NYC guitarist's quirky, twisting compositions give way to adventurous - but not inaccessible - improvisation, and her playing alternates between clean plucking, woozy manipulated weirdness and distorted avant-rock sounds.
