Recent posts include
gig reviews of an amazing band from the city of angels, called Kan Wakan (http://www.kanwakan.com
) They are hard to describe but the combination of organ, guitars,
strings and a melodic female vocalist all make for a heady sound. Their new
album "Moving On" is already one of my summer favourites. Amoeba major in music but other arts are also
covered, mostly in the USA but also globally.
They have links with the great alternative radio station from Jersey City,
WFMU, which has been on air since the 1950s. http://www.wfmu.org
It's also streamed online of course and is a station I often turn to when
I am in an eclectic mood. Their playlist covers "flat-out uncategorizable strangeness to rock and roll, experimental
music, 78 RPM records, jazz, psychedelia, hip-hop, electronica, hand-cranked
wax cylinders, punk rock, gospel, exotica, R&B, radio improvisation,
cooking instructions, classic radio airchecks, found sound, dopey call-in
shows, interviews with obscure radio personalities and notable science-world
luminaries, spoken word collages, Andrew Lloyd Webber soundtracks in languages
other than English as well as Country and western music." So that is
just about something for everyone. If you use Facebook there are extras
snippets posted there too. https://www.facebook.com/wfmuradio
