DJ Jojo Johanssen kicks off Pride Month with a delicious selection of disco's revenge, featuring tracks from Nuyorican Soul, Peckham Royalty, The Return, and more. He'll have some disco and soul snacks, as well as a Beck track that didn't make it on to the High School Is Terrible special, AND an amazing live track from Gillian Welch and David Rawlings from their Reckoning tour earlier this year. Get some Sonic Rehab live, this Monday from 1 to 3 p.m. Pacific time on 95.7fm or kdrt.org. Can't listen live? Great news! Our archive is back up and running, so you can check out shows from the last 2 weeks!

Tonight on at 6pm Pacific on The Electric Compost Heap, DJ Dug Deep spins new tunes from Ratboys and Guided by Voices, whose latest, "Crawlspace of the Pantheon," was just released today! He'll also remember jazz great Sonny Rollins, whom we lost recently at the age of 95. Hope you can join us on 95.7 FM and KDRT.org! (Stream anytime via the web and the podcasts!)

This week we lost one of the last giants from the "classic" age of jazz. Sonny Rollins passed at the age of 95 on May 25, one day prior to Miles Davis' 100th birthday. Rollins not only helped define the sound of jazz tenor saxophone on such classic albums as Saxophone Colossus, Freedom Suite, and The Bridge, but he also continued to evolve and perform up into his eighties. On this week's show, we highlight some of his classic tracks, pay tribute to Miles' 100th, and spotlight some new music and upcoming shows this weekend. Listen live at 3 p.m. PT on 95.7FM locally or kdrt.org worldwide.

Replays Sunday at 4 p.m. and Thursday 10 a.m.
