While WXYC will not be broadcasting the Duke game, we encourage you to mute Dick Vitale and listen to WXYC on your home radio instead. It will be amusing. 

Tonight at 9pm on the Inside Track, tune in for Lucrecia Dalt's album 'Commutus' out on Human Ear Music. Lucrecia Dalt, Barcelona-by-way-of-Columbia geotechnical engineer and bedroom pop Wunderkind, gives her Human Ear Music debut with Commotus. Dalt coos over sounds sourced primarily from her bass guitar, creating sexy, subdued, genre-elusive pop pieces. Like hearing the echoes of a late night bolero floating up through someone’s creaky, pipe-clanking apartment.

Then keep it locked in at 10p for NSE. For the first hour, check out DJ None One, who has been rocking dance parties in Chapel Hill and 
Durham for years with deep ghetto-bass selections and hip-hop favorites. Then bass and deep-end steppers from Yugen will take you to midnight.

This Sunday at 1 on Hell or High Water, Gina B. will be playing Peter Was a Fisherman: The 
1939 Trinidad Field Recordings of Melville and Frances Herskovits.  
These are primitive field recordings from the village of Toco.  There 
are elements of African folk, African American gospel, and
early calypso. Check it out if you're interested in Caribbean music but
 want a rawer sound!

Then stay tuned at 2 on Broken Music which features the 1973 breakthrough work of Parisian composer Eliane Radigue, Ψ 847.
 Previously unreleased due to format constraints and performed only a 
handful of times since its premiere, the 84 minute
work for ARP 2500 and magnetic tapes is a picture perfect representation
 of Radigue's aesthetic as a composer. Gentle, sustained layers develop 
slowly and with grace, creating an immersive environment within the 
listening space. As in the several ARP pieces
that followed, Radigue's patience and restraint shine in the work. 

At 5 o'clock your bi-weekly dose of WXYC Reports is back at it. This week on WXYC Reports, 'Working the Land:' stories about the
