Hello,

It’s Friday…..FRIDAY! We ARE making the weekends longer than the weeks and we’ll do it again because it’s FRIIIIDAAAYYY!!

That means it’s time for me to tell you about the exciting things we have coming up on WXYC this next week:

On tonight’s Inside Track, 9-10pm, don’t miss a new 15th anniversary compilation from Dial Records. Alongside founders Carsten Jost, Lawrence, and Pawel, the album features Dial regulars Pantha Du Prince, Efdemin, and many more, plus the first label appearance of DJ Richard who is going to release an album on Dial Records this coming September.

Right after that, on tonight’s New Science Experience, resident DJ Beto Terwilliger will be spinning some low key jams for you to drink beer to. Tune in from 10pm to midnight!

On this Sunday’s Hell or High Water, 1-2pm, we’ll be listening to American honky-tonk singer-songwriter Jean Shepard, who was a pioneer for women in country music.

Sunday’s Broken Music, 2-3pm, will delve into two recent archival collections of American composer Arnold Dreyblatt. Writing largely for modified instruments of his own design, Dreyblatt has ventured on a career-long exploration of harmonics and overtones. Although he has ties to minimalism, having studied with Alvin Lucier, Pauline Oliveros, and La Monte Young, Dreyblatt's approach to rhythm, particularly with his Orchestra of Excited Strings, has more in common with rock music.

Thought the 4th of July was enough BBQ for one summer? Think again, fool. When you’re done thinking, check out the Backyard BBQ on Sunday from 8-9pm. (You’re not actually a fool).

This week on Sports Rap, Sunday 9-10pm, we'll be talking about this year's crazy NBA free agency, Mark Cuban driving around searching for DeAndre Jordan, two NFL Players who blew their fingers off on July 4th, and the U.S.'s third win in the Women's World Cup.

And Monday’s Outside Track, 9-10pm, will feature harsh industrial soundscapes from British Krautrockers Gnod from their latest album Infinity Machines. Tune in for massive, jagged, distorted industrial drones and beats that spiral out of control into the noisy, beat-filled depths of Hell.
