Hello everyone,

It’s a spooky, icy world out there in Chapel Hill. Stay safe, stay warm, and tune in to WXYC:

Tune in to the Inside Track, tonight at 9pm, to hear True Tempo by Bank. Laid-back, funky pop from 90s Tokyo underground pop vets Dai Nakamura, Nobuyuki Ohashi, Tadashi Kitami, Fumio Hirami, and Bo Suzuki. Inspired by the Tokyo Neo-acoustic scene as well as early “club music” styles like Acid Jazz, Rare Groove, etc., this album provides funky bass, guitars, synthesized drums, and smooth + passionate vocals.

On tonight's New Science Experience, DJs Alex B and Beto Terwilliger are serving electronic vibes and snow day moods from 10pm to midnight. Check it out!

This Sunday, Broken Music will feature sound artist Hugh Davies. His sound sculptures, art composed from hand-made instruments, and work in the Music Improvisation Company will be covered. Tune in from 2-3pm!

***This week on Sports Rap***: will the Warriors win 73 games? Lebron, why u alwaaays lyiiiiin? Plus an NFL playoff recap! You can catch the show this Sunday at 9pm.

And tune in to the Outside Track to hear Ayelet Rose Gottlieb's latest album, Shiv'a. Jerusalem-born Ayelet Rose Gottlieb wrote this piece for the ETHEL string quartet and percussionist Satoshi Takeishi. Composed following the death of three of her dear friends in 2007, Shiv’a explores her process of grief and mourning. She displays her proclivity for incorporating traditional jazz, Middle-Eastern, and Jewish musical influences, drawing from Jewish and Buddhist traditions to create a beautifully textured, seemingly improvised work that could help anchor her in the process of dealing with this chain of losses.
