Weird month, huh? When isn’t February weird though? Shortest month, never really learn how to spell it until like 7^th or 8^th grade, Valentine’s Day. Some very great parts about it too, no doubt, but always a weird one. We will usher in the March with the following cool pieces of radio programming:

 

Death death death. The Inside Track is back this Friday at 9 PM with a new one from Have A Nice Life, The Unnatural World.  Long-awaited sophomore LP for a post-industrial-meets-indie-rock-candy CT-based duo HANL, featuring Dan and Tim of experimental/metal/extreme label Enemies List Home Recordings. It's like a three-dimensional rework of their 2008 debut, "Deathconsciousness," where we still have the overblown drum programming, sing-along-we-just-beat-Duke bro harmonies, and despair guitar feedback churning into Pixies-style riffs out of nowhere. But now everything is more vibrant, resulting in one of the most off-kilter, exciting rock albums of recent memory. 

 

Tonight's New Science Experience features local talent Yugen (https://soundcloud.com/yugen) and Lady Fingers (https://soundcloud.com/lady-fingers). They'll be spinnin some good vibes from 10pm-12am, check it out!!

 

Hell Or High Water returns on Sunday at 1 PM. Join DJ Addison H for a lovely selection of music culled from UNC’s Southern Folklife Collection housed in Wilson Library. This hour long show is always a unique treat, so tune in!

 

Get broken this week on Broken Music. This week, we explore the early works of Somei Satoh, two of which have just been reissued on Edition Omega Point's Obscure Tape Music of Japan series in a volume called 'Echoes.'  Somei Satoh is a contemporary Japanese composer, whose work is purposefully uneasily classified.  As a self-trained composer, Satoh incorporates influences from Shintoism, traditional Japanese musical forms, and Western thoughts on music. Tune in for a provoking hour of sounds!

 

It’s the first Sunday of the month which means it’s time for a new installment of Fruit Smoothie, the once monthly interview show with a local artist/practitioner/person. This month, DJ Sinead gives us an inside look at an Eastern tradition from a Western perspective. Tune in to find out more about Qi Gong, an ancient Chinese system that integrates physical posture, breathing techniques, and focused intention for overall wellness.

 

At 9PM Sunday it's Sports Rap time--tune in for Reilly, Ryan, and pals chatting about the best and the worst of the sporting world.  Topics will include: the Charlotte professional basketball team, the NBA playoff picture, UNC's men's basketball team's game versus NC State's men's basketball team, UNC's women's basketball team's game versus Duke's women's basketball team, Jason Collins, Mary Willingham, and more! Listen and participate! @dunksbutts

 

Tune in Monday for the Outside Track, home of the world famous XYC Burger. Listen in this week for a new release from Carla Bozulich entitled Boy put out by Constellation records. For those familiar with “art-punk heroine” Carla Bozulich’s expansive and commanding body of unsettlingly gorgeous avant-punk under her Evangelista moniker Boy, the third album released under the artist’s own name, offers another example of Bozulich’s command of deconstruction and narrative _expression_. Bozulich wrote, produced, and mixed the album mostly on her own while working closely with John Eichenseer and recruited drummer Andrea Belfi. Called a “pop” album by Bozulich herself, the atmosphere of industrial, drone-based sounds present in her other work acts as the raw material from which Bozulich has forged 10 sinister dirges that eschew the pleasantries associated with this buzzword genre.

 

This week Should Does Does Radio is returning to our favorite serial story, discussing what writers' favorite songs say about them, and opening up the phone lines for the second installment of our call-in advice show "You Might As Well Live." Light the fire and tune-in this Wednesday at 9pm!
