Tomorrow night I'll be hosting the second half of my radio special
"Shades of Sahko", covering the sounds of the label known as Puu (yes,
its pronounced "poo" - get all the snickering out of your system now).
Puu means "wood" in Finnish, and as might be suspected, the label
features a far more mellow and organic palette than parent label Sahko's
icy minimalism (Sahko means "electric current). I'm enjoying putting the
special together, and I hope you enjoy listening to it. The special
runs 5 hours tomorrow night, 7P-12A. PDST. There's a web stream and
(will be) download archives for out-of-towners.
Last week I hosted an exploration of early 90's hardcore, mostly of the
British persuasion. The playlist is at
http://www.kfjc.org/music/playlist.php?i=35325 . Loads of cheese, and
some tunes I would not hesitate to play even 18 years down the line. The
playlist for the first part of the Sahko special is at
http://www.kfjc.org/music/playlist.php?i=35318 . No chaff there...
Check the Mayhem calendar at www.kfjc.org for other specials that may be
of interest - you never know.
Limited time archives for all shows on KFJC (including this one) are
available at http://www.kfjc.org/broadcast_archives/ . These are
"rolling archives", available for two weeks after any given show. My
shows are listed under "Goodwrench". 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,
Richard Hester
