Recent Wild Kingdom shows have been featured the music I've encountered over the years as a DJ, a tip of the hat to KFJC's 50th anniversary. Last week's show covered some of the music encountered in "96, featuring sounds from Atom Heart (and his bewildering array of sub projects/alter egos) and Fax Records. The playlist is at http://www.kfjc.org/music/playlist.php?i=34051. Tonight's show includes more music encountered in 1996, with a mix of tunes from San Francisco's Reflective Records and London's Irdial Discs. An odd pairing, but appropriate, as I started investigating Irdial at the strong insistence of Gamal Awad, who was working with Reflective at the time. In retrospect, I'm glad I listened to him, as all of his "strong suggestions" panned out.

If you miss a show, or want to sample other aspects of KFJC, limited time archives for KFJC programming are available at http://www.kfjc.org/broadcast_archives/ . Send comments and suggestions to [email protected] .

"The Wild Kingdom" airs on KFJC-FM 89.7, Saturday night/Sunday Morning, 12A-3A (8A-10A GMT). 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,
