Celebrate your surveillance state this 4^th of July week with a fun week of radio at WXYC!  Check it out:

 

Friday nights are always better with the Inside Track at 9 PM.  This week, check out “Enormous Door,” the first new full-length in 3 years by Dutch punk band/best band on earth, The Ex, here with an all-brass cross-continental quartet including noisy-jazz all-stars Mats Gustafsson and Ken Vandermark. 

 

Hell Or High Water returns this week on Sunday at 1 PM with DJ Blanche.  Blanche is digging deep into Wilson Library’s Southern Folklife Collection to present field recordings of various blues musicians collected in Florida in 1935.  Tune in!

 

This week on Broken Music join me, Grant B, at 2 PM on Sunday as we explore a couple fantastic pieces by German composer Jakob Ullmann.  These quiet and extremely beautiful live performances were recently released on a collection entitled “Fremde Zeit Addendum.”  Each piece is an exercise of sorts in hearing music.  The pieces move extremely slowly but at a tenuously perceivable pace as tones expose themselves from a distinct sound space, forcing the listener into a very peculiar listening situation of heightened attentiveness if they wish to hear the piece at all.  Hearing one of these pieces is like learning how to listen to music again.  Tune in!

 

Support local music!  This week on Sunday at 8 PM on the Backyard BBQ, Harrison offers you an hour of radio featuring the music of artists from Chapel Hill and the surrounding areas. 

 

How high can you throw a ball?  Is LeBron a nice guy?  What’s an NBA draft?  These questions and more answered this week on Sports Rap.  Sunday night a 9 PM.

 

The Outside Track is Monday at 9 PM.  Turn on your radio to hear “Secret Rhythms 5” from Friedman & Liebezeit.  Friedman (of Nine Horses, Flanger, and Nonplace Urban Field) and legendary percussionist Jaki Liebezeit (can, drums off chaos) are on an array of archaic metal and non-standard-drum-kits and the technique is super precise with Friedman laying some synth on top. like an aw3somer age of empires soundrack in a good way.

 

This Wednesday tune in to Should Does Does Radio for a dip into that refreshing cesspool we like to call the arts. This week's subjects will include art, the cinema, cinema as art and vice versa!
