Chris Tracy on Listening Lyrics, Oct. 17, 2025

Fri, 10/17/2025 - 5:15pm | Pieter Pastoor

Chris Stacey LL.png

The music this week is a mix of a little bit of everything—each selection chosen with the help of my guest, Chris Tracy. I only showed half the letters in his name in the image because he was only on the show for half the time… which means he’ll be back! Chris lives here in Davis with his family and is deeply involved in the local music scene. He’s an accomplished drummer and plays in a couple of bands, so stay tuned as we spin some of his favorite picks.

Slovenly music is this week’s theme on Listening Lyrics, Oct. 10, 2025

Fri, 10/10/2025 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

slovenly songs.png

So, the word of the day is slovenly. Yeah — slovenly. What do I mean by that? Well, to me, it’s music that’s a little messy, kinda careless, maybe even a bit dirty. Songs that aren’t trying too hard to be perfect — they just are.

Sometimes that sound comes from the artist or producer just being… slovenly, plain and simple. Other times, it’s totally intentional — they want that rough edge, that human touch.

Think of folks like Keith Richards or Jim Morrison — total geniuses who could make something brilliant while still sounding like they just rolled out of bed.

So today, I’ve pulled together a few tunes that, in my mind, really capture that slovenly vibe — songs that don’t need to be cleaned up, because the grit makes them great.

Tim Foster! The Audio Ecotone for Oct. 10, 2025

Thu, 10/09/2025 - 10:50pm | Eddy Owt

tim_foster_losin_streaks.jpg

Tim Foster (pictured) is an icon of the Sacramento cultural scene. As the kinetic frontman of bands such as Th' Losin Streaks and the Troublemakers, he's brought high-energy, '60s-infused garage rock to small dive bars and big festival stages across the U.S., Europe and soon Japan. In addition, he is a fixture in the Sacramento journalistic scene as the executive director of Capitol Weekly, the Politico (but better) for California government. He was also the co-founder of the late Midtown Monthly, an important chronicle of the Sacramento art and music scene in the early 2000s. And he's a collector of obscure vintage vinyl, vintage guitars and vintage cars.

Listen in as Tim joins Eddy Owt to discuss those things, spin some records, and whatever else comes up during a LIVE in-studio interview on The Audio Ecotone, Friday from 3-4 p.m. on KDRT 95.7FM and kdrt.org.
