Hey XYCers! Sorry for this email going out so late (just got off work!), but check out the shows this week. Make sure to tune in because specialty shows are going on right now:

On tonight's Inside Track, tune in for Phoebe Guillemot's fourth full-length album as RAMZi. These tracks are spacey productions combining organic percussion with computer bleeps, found sound, and ethereal, distorted vocals.  The real and grounded sounds collide and intertwine with the surreal, artificial, robotic and disembodied machinations poignantly throughout.

On Sunday at 5pm WXYC Reports is looking into alleged sexual harassment by members of the men's lacrosse team after returning from the national championship, both by interviewing an eyewitness to give the story more exposure and seeing the mechanisms there are to prevent incidences like it in the future.

Tune in to the Backyard BBQ this Sunday at 8pm for a special one hour block of local music

On Monday's Outside Track, we'll hear the summery jazz of Hanami's The Only Way to Float Free. Alto sax/clarinetist Mai Sugimoto leads the show, with bass clarinet, electric guitar, and busy, flourished drums following suit. Even when they get rowdy, they're playful and welcoming. Hanami is the Japanese custom of admiring the transient beauty of the cherry blossom. The color and warmth of springtime are imbued in this group's debut album.
