Musicians (artists) are caught between streaming services and the corporatization of music venues. Joel has the details and some answers. Tune in this Friday, Feb. 16, 2024 at 4 p.m., as Listening Lyrics returns to the airwaves.
Tonight (Feb. 9) at 6 p.m. on the Electric Compost Heap, DJ Dug Deep remembers Wayne Kramer and Mojo Nixon, two iconoclastic artists who both left us recently. Don't know if they ever met one another, but our guess is they would have got along great! Lots of other musical compost tonight, hope you can join us at KDRT.org.
On today's program, we talk about glowing petunias, soil too wet to plant, okay to amend soil and more about soil structure, suckers on citrus and other fruit trees, time to plant seeds, and more.
Jazz classics tonight:
The Artery co-op/gallery/store turns 50 this year. Most of its downtown Davis neighbors from the 1970s are gone, so how has the Artery lasted? Heidi Bekebrede and Adele Shaw, two of its members, list several reasons on today’s Davisville, and some might surprise you — they include the hours (most art galleries don’t open daily), the variety (most don’t display so many artists), members who work in the shop, turnover that brings in new artists, fresh displays, and a town with lots of people interested in the arts. The train station a block away helps too.
We also talk about the store’s name, how they find members, the other meaning of “cute” in Bekebrede’s Cuteware, the way Putah Creek inspires Shaw’s paintings, and how managing a 32-machine laundromat in San Francisco introduced Shaw to first- and second-hand stories of her neighborhood from many decades before.
Punxsutawney Phil predicts an explosion of new music this evening on Divine Intervention. Join hostesse Jess Goddesse at 6 p.m. Pacific as we attempt to spin the latest from Barbara Manning, Bill Ryder-Jones, Charming Disaster, Eliza McLamb, FRIDA KILL, Hot Garbage, J Mascis, King Dream, PACKS, Sleater-Kinney, Sprints, Ty Segall ... phew ... only on KDRT 95.7 FM | KDRT.org!
Today we discuss pruning in wet weather, Australian plants and other winter bloomers, what’s blooming now, toxicity of sweet peas and sweet potatoes, allelopathy, and more.
Dug Deep hosts Album of the Week and he'll be spinning the British psych classic, S. F. Sorrow, by The Pretty Things. It's noted for being the first "concept record," having been conceived of and recorded in 1967-68 and released in 1968, well before the Who's Tommy. No comparison between the two pieces, really, but I'm gonna guess you haven't heard S. F. Sorrow much. Hope you can tune in and join us on Wednesday afternoon.
