This week's AotW is The Hi-Nobles album Shake, released on Zaentz Record in 2009.

Tune in at 5 pm PT on Thursday, September 8, for music Verbicide astutely described as "Sixties-styled, organ-fueled, fuzzed-out garage soul that couldn’t get any more R&B stuffed into it even with a shoehorn."

Gary Chew: Third Streaming (Friday 9/9)

Thu, 09/08/2016 - 8:04am | Eunah

Mozart

Be ready for musical fun when the genius of Mozart is tampered with a bit on Third Streaming with Gary Chew this week on K-dirt. It starts Friday at 3 PM on 95.7, and streaming online at the KDRT website (podcasts too). A lesser known but terrific singer named Meredith D'Ambrosio will sing her very own words set to a memorable melody by Dave Brubeck. Again, Gary shows his bias for Brazilian music and gives you a taste of the music of 20th century American composer William Schuman. Yes, it's more stuff that can only be considered music to your ears. Check the KDRT website for air times and days of the week. You won’t be sorry.

Davisville, Sept. 5, 2016: The Byrds and After with Gene Parsons (part 2)

Mon, 09/05/2016 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

wagman odd fellows show.jpg

Today we conclude our interview with Gene Parsons, 72, who was part of The Byrds from 1968 to 1972 and performs with David Hayes in Davis this Saturday, Sept. 10 (here's part 1 of the interview). We hear more about his songs, The Byrds, the note-bending Stringbender device he invented in the 1960s, a steam engine he built in his shop, new music he’s recording with Hayes and the Mendocino Quartet, a long-ago trick in a Yucca Valley bar & grill that tapped his skills with an acetylene torch, and what's coming next. “We have a few other performances that are on the books. We don’t do a lot. We’re kind of basically semi-retired in the music biz,” he says. “We’re kind of just letting it unfold.”

Album of the Week - A Divina Comédia ou Ando Meio Desligado by Os Mutantes - Sep 1

Thu, 09/01/2016 - 4:53pm | Dug Deep

Mutantes_Divina_Comédia.jpg

Dug Deep hosts this week's edition of Album of the Week, featuring A Divina Comédia ou Ando Meio Desligado, the third album by Brazilian rock band Os Mutantes. The album was originally released in 1970. The title translates to The Divine Comedy or I Am a Bit Disconnected. "I am a bit disconnected" in this sense means "I feel a little spaced out." The album as a whole is characterized by a mix of psychedelic and religious imagery. Os Mutantes were influenced by a blend of 60s rock -- the Ventures to the Beatles, whose Sgt. Pepper expanded their understaning of what recorded music could achieve. Os Mutantes were subversive, fun, poetic, melodic, playful, noisy, and much more. They also became a part of the Tropicalia movement in Brazil, along with Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, and Tom Ze. Tune in Sep 1 at 5 pm PT for a strange musical journey on Album of the Week.

Gary Chew: Third Streaming (Friday 9/2)

Tue, 08/30/2016 - 3:35pm | Eunah

gary chew

Third Streaming surges to the air this week with a very big band arrangement of Sonny Rollins' tune called Airegin. With a Piaf-like voice, Karrin Allyson sings two songs a la francaise: Bud Powell's Parisian Thoroughfare and Charles Dumont's Des Histories. Jacques Loussier's Trio tips its jazz hat to J.S. Bach. Then bringing it on home, Charlie Haden's Quartet West does Alan Broadbent's The Long Goodbye; the New York Woodwind Quintet performs a familiar Darius Milhaud suite and Gary will also play tracks from the brand new soundtrack for the Michael Fassbender’s latest film, The Light Between Oceans, composed by Alexandre Desplat. The movie opens September 2nd. It's music guaranteed to make your ears sing; both of them ... in harmony.

Album Review: All People (self-titled)

Sun, 08/28/2016 - 9:04pm | Scott Korinke

All People

The self-titled LP All People is the second full-length release from the independent bandcamp rock group in as many years. Lasting just under a half-hour, the nine tracks hit hard, fast, and with purpose, pulling together emotional themes about mental anxiety and feeling out of place while staying positive and uplifting. The group works very well together, managing to convey their emotions effectively through the inspired combination of pop-punk and dreamy, synth-heavy alternative sounds. The first two tracks on the LP, "Slow" and "Plain Essential Language," are about being unable to sleep and being misunderstood by the world around them, respectively. The two tracks bring to mind Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation album in both theme and sound. "Naught," the third song, is quite the standout, beginning with a funky guitar beat and ending with one of the more memorable choruses, with lead singer Daniel Ray pleadingly asking "Was it all for Naught?"
