This week on Dashboard Diaries, DJ RayK replaces his wiper blades and tops up the washer fluid in celebration of the season’s first rain. Not much to do about the bald tires ‘til payday... but don’t worry, we’ll be cruising under hydroplane speed and we’ve got The Human Beinz, Boz Scaggs, Leon Russell, The Mavericks, and a whole bunch of other music loaded up for good juju. So let’s tempt fate this Thursday, 3-5 p.m., on KDRT 95.7 FM and KDRT.org.

This week we're off to Ireland for an hour of music on In the Key of Folk. We'll start off with a track from the Black Feathers' latest album and then hear from The Whileaways, Karan Casay, Liz Knowles with Niwel Tsumbu and Niall Vallely, Cuas, and the amazing up and coming siblings: Séamus & Caoimhe. Then there's more. And wouldn't it be grand to have a library this big for KDRT's record collection? So come hear the music of the green land of Ireland. That's at 2 pm. today, Wednesday: only on KDRT 95.7 in Davis and KDRT.org worldwide.

DJJJ eases you in to your week with some mellowness from Jane, Stereolab and Coltrane, some inbetweeners from Dr. Octagon and Anette Peacock, then BANG! Before you know it, you'll be gettin down to ELO, Chocolat's, Dexter Wansel and many more. So hold on to your pants or whatever you have on below your waist and prepare to SHAKE IT.

If you can't listen live (booooooo!) or want to listen again (yaaaaaaay!), you can check it out in the kdrt.org archives for up to 2 weeks after broadcast. d(-_-)b
