Last week I had my trainee pull a fistful of selected CDs and 12" (library practice), and I guided him through a ~1.5 hour set where he did all the segues - I picked the tracks, he did the mechanics.Tonight the plan is for him to do a 1/2 hr set where he runs the studio, plays the tracks, and does all the little fiddly bits behind the scenes by himself. While he's lashing a set together for you, I'll be working with a scatter-shot mess of stuff that I pull from the station library just before the show. I know what the first track will be, but the rest is up to chance and inspiration. Since we have over 65,000 titles in our library, that could get interesting.

Last week's playlist can be viewed at http://www.kfjc.org/music/playlist.php?i=35934 . 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,
