Last week's Wild Kingdom featured a bunch of classic/obscure New
Wave/Pop/Electronic tracks heard by me on KFJC back in the '80s before I
joined up, tunes that planted the seeds for my later involvement with
electronic music at KFJC. You can check out the playlist at
http://www.kfjc.org/music/playlist.php?i=33698 . The archive can be
downloaded at the link shown below. Tonight I'm continuing the stroll
down memory lane with a somewhat darker set of tunes including work
from Riuichi Sakamoto, Eno/Byrne, Palais Schaumberg, OMD, Gary Numan,
J.J. Burnell, Chris & Cosey, Cabaret Voltaire, and others. Since it's
fundraiser season, I'll also be asking for money - please help out if
you can. It's also coming up on KFJC's 50th anniversary of operation.
At kfjc.org, there's an interesting nest of archival material,
including an extended interview with radio station founder Bob Ballou.
He's stopping by to re-dedicate the station later on this month.
If you miss a show, or want to sample other aspects of KFJC, limited
time archives for KFJC programming are available at

"The Wild Kingdom" airs on KFJC-FM 89.7, Saturday night/Sunday Morning,
12A-3A (8A-10A GMT). (This may change...) Potential listeners outside
the San Francisco Bay area can find a webcast at
http://www.kfjc.org/netcast/index.php . Present and past Wild Kingdom
playlists are also archived at kfjc.org. You can also check out archived
playlists from my first KFJC show "Just Desserts" that was on Fridays
10P-2A from 1992 through 1999. Archived playlists exist for that show
starting from Fall 1995 to New Year's Eve 1999/2000, so you can see what
what I'm up to these days is pretty much consistent with what I was up
to all along.
If you do tune in (especially via the web), please take a little time to
let me know your locale. I'm also interested in promo music from all
over and in promoting local (San Francisco Bay area) techno-type events.
If you want to do some promotion for an event, contact the KFJC
promotions department at [email protected] to arrange ticket giveaways
and/or to send information for inclusion in our concert outlook. Thanks
to those who have sent promo music so far.
Regards,
