Let me start off by saying I'm no optimist. Don't let anyone fool you. So far, 2009 has shown little love to the ol'muldozer...

I generally play & enjoy somber, moody music which has only anchored me further into the hole that is January.SO I've decided to 'spin' some more upbeat, rockin' tunes (EDGEY?) for the inaugural '09 Wrong Side of the Tracks . Here ya go:

1. THE FALL- mr. pharmacist

2. IGGY & THE STOOGES- your pretty face is going to hell

3. TH' LOSIN' STREAKS (sacramento)- he's waiting (the sonics)

Samuel Daunt, a young violist with roots in Davis will be heard this week (1/6/09-1/13/09) on Dr. Paul's Classic Hour. He will speak about his experience as a violist starting out at the Waldorf School through his now current year as a senior in College majoring in Music. He has also hinted that he may bring his viola and may play some Bach for us, live on the show. So listen up and enjoy!

Update:  He did bring his viola and play!  Check out the archived show.

Hello out there in Radio Land!

Our understanding is that the transition teams in the new administration, including those at the FCC, will be using some social change websites to guage interest on certain issues. Help LPFM stations like our stay healthy by supporting the expansion of the LPFM service to larger cities and towns.

Update: This change.org initiative finished in 7th place in the technology policy- not bad considering "finish adopting the metric system" was in the top 3, which went on to the next round.

Hey fellow Radio Landers!

The is my first plunge into the blog pool.  One thing I would like to mention is that there were more tracks to the 11/30 "Hunt Special" broadcast of The Golden Road.  What did not make to the playlist (due to my technical nubialness!) was:

Wharf Rat and One More Saturday Nite, both tune were also from the Wembley Empire Pool theatre in London, April of '72.

PLAYLIST for THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS

when i was a lass, some o'these tunes came out da radio and i secretly liked them, vocally hated them.
they were my mother.

as a liberated adult, i've come to recognize the beauty within their aches and how she passed them along.

THANKS MA, i will forever ache.
