IMPLOSION

IMPLOSION graphic

IMPLOSION is hosted by Nick Saloman, front person of The Bevis Frond. Born and raised in London, England, Nick started buying records as a small child in the late 1950s and began going to gigs and playing in bands as a teen in the late 60s. IMPLOSION is simply an hour of Nick playing the music that he loves (psychedelia, rock, folk, beat, jazz, soul, punk, and more), with a bit of chat thrown in for good measure. Nick says: "If I like it, then there have got to be a few other people who will too.

Wed, 09/13/2023 - 9:05am | kdrtradio

“Movin’ On” by Grammy winners Jonny McReynolds and Mali Music (pictured) closes out this week’s Praise Time with Preacher, and it’s no hardship waiting ‘til the end of the show to hear it. DJ Preacher’s love for gospel shines throughout the whole program. The entire hour is a treat. The man knows the music.

Preacher -- his name, not his title -- wants to lift you up, too.

 “The aim of my show is to help you feel what I believe is inside of all of us, and that is a good spirit that drives us to be the very best people we can be. I hope through my music, I hope through my words, you can feel my spirit,” he says during today’s program. “We fall down, but we get up again. We will work together, we will be with one another, we will help each other, and get each other through these days.”

Tune your spirits up again with this week’s Praise Time with Preacher.

Wealth of Nations band.jpg

On Independent and Local, DJ Sam Hawk plays music performed by unsigned artists, and it’s hard to believe these musicians aren’t signed to a major record label. This week’s show includes songs by Hobby Horse, Lori Hawk, Elaine Davidson, Ruby Jay, Classic Q Band. Matt Jaffee, Wealth of Nations (a Davis band!, pictured), Mark Lemaire and Kevin Fagan.

Plus a couple others. Gotta leave some surprises. This is one fine hour.

Davisville, Sept. 4, 2023: Investors buy land for a ‘dream city’ next door to Yolo County

Mon, 09/04/2023 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Fairfield Mayor Catherine Moy was among the first people a few years ago to draw attention to extensive and secretive land purchases in Solano County by Flannery Associates. Who the buyers are, and what they wanted, has now become much clearer thanks to reporting from The New York Times and other media — Flannery wants to build a green “dream city” from scratch on rural, arid land in southeastern Solano County, one of the least-populated parts of the greater Bay Area and Yolo County’s southwestern neighbor. The backers include some of the wealthiest people in America, with ties to Silicon Valley.

Today on Davisville, Moy criticizes the idea, says the opposition is large and growing, and chides the buyers for conceiving big plans involving Solano County while not engaging the people who live there. “I have literally had several hundred people [in Solano County] contact me,” she says, "and about 95, 96 percent want them to go away. For a number of reasons.”

After this interview was recorded, Flannery began saying more about its plans. This SFGATE article has details.
