Praise Time with Preacher

The word "gospel" is derived for the old Anglo-Saxon word meaning “good message” or “good news." Host Preacher believes gospel music is powerful, whether the listener is or is not Christian--that everyone can enjoy listening to gospel because it is uplifting and inspiring, sung with passion and belief from the artist, touching all who hear it in a good and heartfelt way. The aim of the show is to help listeners find what Preacher believes lives in everyone: a good spirit that drives us to be the best we can be.

Live Tuesday 4-5pm

Album of the Week - Camper Van Beethoven's New Roman Times - Thursday, March 17

Thu, 03/17/2016 - 4:27pm | Dug Deep

This week’s album of the week will be Camper Van Beethoven’s New Roman Times. A true concept album, New Roman Times was the band’s 2004 reunion/comeback record after having been dormant for 14 years. The concept was strange (what would you expect from CVB?), but intriguing, involving a plot about a fictional America divided into smaller republics (most notably the secular Republic of California and the Fundamentalist Christian Republic of Texas) that are at war with one another. The band employs some none-too-disguised political jabs as well as indulges their taste for 1970s-style prog rock, mixed with Middle Eastern melodies and ska-based rhythms...All in all, a very fitting selection for KDRT’s Album of the Week in this very lively election season. Dug Deep hosts this edition of Album of the Week.

Gary Chew: 3rd Streaming - Wed. 3/16 at 1PM

Wed, 03/16/2016 - 12:52pm | Eunah

This week's Gary Chew: 3rd Streaming opens up with some Brazilian music. The L.A. Guitar Quartet is first with an exciting piece called “Bluezilian.” That's followed by more Brazilian sounds by Jobim … and, appropriately, the song is “The Waters of March” with Eliane Elias and a neat vocal group singing it in Portuguese and English.

“An Inspector Calls” is a theme from a film score written by Anne Dudley. Then Dizzy Gillespie's “A Night In Tunisia” is fiddled so well by the Turtle Island SQ. For the finale, it's Francis Poulenc's beautiful work “Aubade and Choreographic Poem For Piano and 18 Instruments.” Pianist Jacques Fevrier conducts members of the Lamoureux Concert Orchestra.

Davisville, 3/14/16: Prof. Frances Dolan, recently named one of the best teachers in town

Mon, 03/14/2016 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Frances Dolan.JPG

Frances Dolan, an English professor and Shakespeare expert, just won the 2016 UC Davis Prize for Undergraduate Teaching and Scholarly Achievement. On today’s program we talk about what constitutes good teaching, why Shakespeare is relevant, the value of literary analysis, and why she tells her students in the classroom that she can see them—that last part has to do with technology. This is an interesting discussion with someone who’s clearly very skilled at her profession.

Album Review: Mowing, by Michael Nau

Sun, 03/13/2016 - 11:39pm | Scott Korinke

The best way to describe Michael Nau's first solo LP, Mowing, is as an alternative indie-folk album that is about as eclectic as it gets. Everything is extremely stripped down and low tempo, leaving plenty of time for reflective lyricism that's laced with introspective observations. Nau's voice is as laidback as the skillful but simple instrumentation, never getting angry or excited, just crowing softly as the tune beats on. The best songs on Mowing are the more upbeat "The Glass," the emotionally resonant "Good Moon," and the funky single "Winter Beat." The album works best when you want to listen for relaxation; it won't pump you up, but it will settle you down smoothly and peacefully. Mowing isn't for everyone, but if you are into laidback indie folk, you can't go wrong with Michael Nau.

Album Review: Gravy Nation (self-titled)

Sun, 03/06/2016 - 10:31pm | Scott Korinke

Headed by frontman Christopher Hunt, along with guitarist Ryan Shickman and drummer Billy Thompson, Gravy Nation began in 2014 right here in Davis and has since grown in popularity due to a solid live act and their first LP, the self-titled Gravy Nation. The rock band is reminescent of pop-punk groups like Better Than Ezra and Green Day but with greater pop sensibility that brings to mind 90s Britpop and classic rock from the late 60s and early 70s. Tracks include "Disconnected Brain," a funky, multifaceted alternative tune that demonstrates Gravy Nation's range and talent, and "It's Too Late," a breezy pop tune that is relaxing despite the grunge vibe that permeates the entire LP. The band knows how to crank out a righteous and angry punk tune, as illustrated by "Boredom Blues," whose lyrics convey the inherent insecurity and restlessness that comes with boredom, and "Day Wrecker," which might be the strongest song on the album thanks to it's anthemic guitar work and infectious bass. All in all, Gravy Nation is a dynamite first LP that bolsters the local music scene and shows fantastic promise for the band.
