Wow!!! Last Day of Class!!! Join me in lighting this sparkler.  How will you celebrate?  Will you come to WXYC’s 3000s Dance TONIGHT at The Nightlight on Rosemary Street?  Will you live life like nothing is new because you aren’t a student? Whatever you do, tune into WXYC for a killer week of programming:

 

LDOC, c. 2002, "last day of class," from Old French le dûc, "one who is publicly vomiting into a trash can in daylight hours." Some things never change. Join us in celebration tonight at 9:00 pm for the Inside Track, when you'll hear King Mez's new mixtape, Long Live The King. The fourth mixtape from Raleigh native King Mez seems to deal with the tensions attendant to the pursuit of his art - compromise (or the refusal to) and negotiations, hangers-on, empty dreams. While many songs evoke a darker personal history, listening to these tracks is an overall posi, redemptive experience.

 

Tonight on the New Science Experience we'll be featuring  WXYC DJ's Griffin A and Tommy M. Check it out to get yr night feelin right!!! 10-Midnight!

 

This week on Hell Or High Water from 1-2 PM, DJ Kiever will be featuring the music of Bascom Lamar Lunsford. Born in 1882 in the western NC town of Mars Hill was commonly referred to as the "Minstrel of the Appalachia." Schooled in Law at Trinity College (now Duke), Lamar Lunsford's career was as a lawyer, but his love was in folklore and music. Playing sweet little ditties from the western part of the state, his repertoire includes, spirituals, Child Ballads, and a litany of fiddle tunes. Tune in. 

 

Tune in to Broken Music this Sunday as we enjoy the works of Osaka-born composer Kazuo Uehara. Uehara studied composition in Tokyo and New York, spending much of the 1970s performing his tape and Buchla synth works at legendary venue, the Kitchen. His works are known for their restraint of elements and the deep tonal washes Uehara is able to coax. He is one of the founders of the Japan Computer Music Association and currently acts as professor of music at the Osaka University of Arts. Join us at 2pm.

Sports Rap will be talking about the NBA playoffs from 9-10PM on Sunday--with special focus on North Carolina's own Charlotte Bobcats.  Lots of games have happened this week so there will be lots plenty to talk about, and don't forget about the impending doom of Rufus the Bobcat. Listen and participate! You really can! (@dunksbutts)

 

After a weekend of revelry, crack open a book and crank up The Outside Track this Monday at 9:00 pm, which will feature Italian rock group Inutili's recent Aagoo release, Music To Watch The Clouds On A Sunny Day. This is a pair really good free-improv instrumental, groove-oriented 20-minute Italian rock bangers from a group whose name is the plural form of the word 'inutile,' meaning 'ineffective or useless.' Pot. Fans of under-produced, sloppy-around-the-edges half-baked ideas will enjoy how weird this gets at moments, the lo-fi fuzz, and how it is impossible to date this album without it feeling overtly retro. Both tracks end with some psychotic distortion, the latter going out on a kind of Kraut groove. I'd say the MVP of this album is the bass, who really holds it down.

 

This week Should Does Does Radio is celebrating the end of the National Poetry Month with a reading by Rachel Richardson. We’ll also be playing Taboo and reviewing our new book, Gladys. Lean back and tune-in this Wednesday at 9pm!
