We aim to spin the latest from Bullesye, Dinosaur Jr., Jon Spencer, Lex Walton, Orquesta Akokan, Sweeping Promises, Tamikrest, Twisted Teens, Ty Segall, Ultra Lights, and maybe even more! We'll also honor our Goddess of the Month (Dolly Parton, RIP), "enjoy" a Vinyl Vespers track, and visit Critter Corner. Join us at 6 p.m. PT on KDRT 95.7fm + KDRT.org. Listen at will via the web + the podcasts!

This week on Dashboard Diaries, DJ RayK is in a pensive mood. We’re going to forego the Ozzy and Def Leppard and do some navel-gazing with the likes of Nick Drake, Alison Krauss, Marshall Krenshaw, Beck, Boz Scaggs, and a bunch of other artists you haven’t thought about in decades. Tune it to KDRT 95.7 FM and KDRT.org Thursday 3-5 p.m. and I promise to keep you amused and/or entertained for a couple of hours.

Today on In the Key of Folk, we've selected a variety of tunes from over the years.  We'll start off with something from that fun and clever banjo duo, Alison Brown and Steve Martin. And there's more: Selections from Lulu Wiles, Robert Earl Kean, Rita Hosking, Yo-Yo Ma and The Silk Road Ensemble, Jordan Tice, and Nina Gerber. We hope that you'll join us for an hour of less talk and more music. Check it out at 2 pm. today, Wednesday, only on KDRT 95.7 in Davis and KDRT.org worldwide!

DJ Jojo Johanssen's peeking through the record cabinet doors this week with some early electronic music that he loved when he was younger. He's bringing some Pet Shop Boys, Yello, and New Order, amongst others. But that's not all! There's also a track from Jungle's new album, music from Bobby McFerrin's son, as well as some CLASSIC discofunkboogie from Kool & the Gang and the Jacksons. How about a beautiful love song from Pomplamoose and some new favorites? Jojo will have all of that AND MORE on Sonic Rehab, this Monday, Sept. 14, at 1 p.m. Pacific on KDRT!

Can't listen live? That's OK, we all get busy! Good thing KDRT keeps shows available for your streaming pleasure for up to 2 weeks on kdrt.org.

Gear up for a wild ride tonight at 6 p.m. Pacific on The Electric Compost Heap! We'll be launching a new feature, Top of the Heap, wherein we highlight a song that took things to another level, musically or otherwise. Tonight's Top of the Heap artist is Screamin' Jay Hawkins, but your gonna have to tune in to find out what song it is (Hint: It's NOT "I Put A Spell on You"). Hope you can join us on KDRT 95.7fm + KDRT.org!
