I've taking the last few weeks to reprise music encountered during my stint as a DJ on KFJC, as an acknowledgment of KFJC's 50th Anniversary and their role in introducing me to all sorts of new music over the years (not just techno, either).. Last week's show wrapped up music encountered in 1996 with a set of tunes from San Francisco's Reflective Records and London's Irdial Discs. The playlist resides at http://www.kfjc.org/music/playlist.php?i=34101 . 1997 was a most interesting year - this week's set will touch on the music of Black Dog (plus some relevant side excursions) and Kirk Degiorgio's ART label. This set will go for the full three hours of the show.

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,
