ACOUSTIC SPACE
Host: Chris Retallack
Wed 5:30 - 6:30 PM
Fri 2 - 3 PM
Acoustic Space is an hour-long program exploring the wooden tones of everything from old-style Americana to modern folk and instrumental musings. With fast and energetic to mellow-toned compositions, we'll hear the full sound spectrum of what acoustic music has to offer. Songs are selected using a complex algorithm based on the following formula:
[(-(X^Y)/R)√(T)]/(A^(B+1))Cπ2 (X=amount of lyrical mumbling; Y=number of made-up words; R=cumulative references to "The Man"; T=time spent making incoherent noise; A=gauge of the artist's horn-rimmed glasses; B=whether or not artist actually needs said glasses; C=if she or he wears them "ironically")

the jane & john doe show
Host: Mari Erin Roth

Sun 9 - 10 PM
A unique interview show where anonymous individuals tell their own real life stories of how their addiction began, how it progressed, and the sometimes brutal consequences that led to a road out of a life of active addiction. With no two stories alike, addiction appears to be indiscriminate, affecting people from all walks of life. The show delivers a message from desperation to hope for the community, the still-suffering addict, and affected family members.
The jazz cafe
Host: Doug Swantner
Sat & Thu 9 AM - Noon
Mon 9 PM - Midnight
Jazz is an American art form, a language, sometimes intimate, often boisterous, but always layered with experience and life profoundly lived. Jazz originated in New Orleans around 1895 combining elements of ragtime, marching band music, and blues. This show will be an improvisation . . . Combining many of the musical elements that went into creating jazz and what has emerged on the other side. Sometimes each song is carefully picked out, and other times one song leads into the next in a spontaneous effort to create a "show." Miles Davis said, "I'll play it first and tell you what it is afterward."

Any week could be salsa, rocksteady, contemporary UK jazz, delta blues, proto-New Wave, or none of the above. Like the candy bowl on his coffee table, you'll have to just reach in and hope for the best.
MOUNTAIN KING

On Mountain King, I'll try to pick up some genres that don't get a lot of time on prime-time radio -- psych rock, alt rock, and metal, for a solid hour of sound that'll keep your blood pumping and your head banging, till the hour ends with some lighter tracks because it's midnight and you should really be sleeping. Anything from King Gizzard and Babe Rainbow to Sabbath and Anthrax.

trizzeklectix

Trizzeklectix brings you sounds from the rugged underground, 4-track garage, indie and psychedelic studio spreads of the 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond. With an endless taste for grit, virtuosity, profound poetry and really anything raw, DJ Trizz might be caught spinning indie rock from 1994, shoegaze from '87, second-wave punk from '81, or classic rock era gems from the 70s. Trizz is always looking to twist or expand his tastes but chances are you're sure to find distorted leads, thick synth sound, maybe even a catchy hook.
