Heck yeah, happy November everyone!!! I hope y'all had a lovely Halloween.  As we see the spooky out, let's check out some nice radio from WXYC!  #noshame

FRIDAY NIGHT INSIDE TRACK 9 PM. THIS WEEK: Tartit with Imharhan, Live from the Sahara. Live recording from Saharan desert-guitar blues group Tartit along with a track by another group, Imharhan and two awesome electric collabs at the end. The stringed Tehardent, Imzad violin, and West African percussion instrument the Tinde are both played here alongside vocal rounds, for sure, but these pieces of music are a reaction to the droughts and rebellions of the past 50 years, not merely a product of centuries-old tradition. Fans of the guitars from Agadez series will dig the last two tracks, but everything on here is great!

 

Tune in tonight to the New Science Experience from 10 to Midnight to hear a broadcast of Ital’s live performance last week at the Nightlight!  It was a killer show and will be sure to tear your Friday night to pieces.  Catch opener $tinkworkx as well!  Lovely outsider techno for your evening.

Tune in to The Orange County Special from 10 am to 1 pm on Sunday for a chance to win!  It's the first Sunday of the month, and we've got three pairs of ArtsCenter tickets to give away this week, one for each of these shows:
The Quiet American with Adam Hurt & Beth Hartness (Friday, November 8)
The Tune Tramp Celebration with Erynn Marshall & Friends (Friday November 22)
John Gorka (Saturday, November 23)
For full info about these, and other ArtsCenter shows, go to http://www.artscenterlive.org/

Tune in at 1 PM for Hell Or High Water.  This week DJ Kiever will be taking a dive into Wilson Library’s Southern Folklife Collection and dig up some really neat recordings.  Listen in for traditional talk, tunes and friends.

 

This week on Broken Music from 2-3 PM join me to hear some brand new releases from two women working in the tradition of “musique concrete.”  First, a 40-minute release from Olivia Block entitled Karren.  Karren is an explosion of acousmatic sound, metallic clangs, shredding feedback, creaking doors.  Following this will hear the first ever release from Katie Gately, a young woman from out west who makes a type of “musique concrete pop.”  Maybe a little too poppy for the traditional Broken Music sensibilities, but Gately’s sounds show how seemingly at odds music can function together perfectly.  Check it out!      

 

Tune into the Backyard BBQ at 8 PM to catch up with your lovely host Lincoln and explore all types of Chapel Hill and greater Triangle music.  Rock! (and more!)

 

Turn on the radio at 9 PM to hear Sports Rap, the sports show that isn’t afraid to ask “Who am I?”  Basketball, football, tennisball, they’ve got it!  Join Reilly, Sarah and co for some thoughtful and information talk on recent sports activity! 

 

Tune in on Monday night for Outside Track with the new release from The Necks.  This Australian trio indulges in long-form, repetitive, contemplative jazzy explorations and they are one of the best bands in the world (I mean it).  They’ve been at it for more than 2 decades and Open is just another masterpiece for their catalogue.  Shimmering piano phrases alongside droning, deeply textured percussion alongside devastating one-note statements from an upright bass. 

 

This week, on Should Does Does Radio, we're talking to storyteller Brian Sturm and then sitting back and enjoying a story. Also up is the next installment of a serial story and a sound collage that's from all over the country, and beyond.  Wednesday night 10-Midnight!
