Davisville, Sept. 18, 2023: How to reduce all that conflict we're feeling (repeat from 2021)

Mon, 09/18/2023 - 6:10pm | Bill Buchanan

Arrows of conflict.jpg

This program first aired on Feb. 1, 2021

I recorded this soon after Joe Biden became president. The U.S. had just endured a bitterly contested election, and the conflicts that tear at the country showed no signs of going away -- then or now. To do more than separate into groups and shout at each other, we need to do a better job of addressing and resolving conflicts. On this edition of Davisville Kara Hunter, executive director of the Yolo Conflict Resolution Center, talks about how to handle conflict, wherever we find it.

She believes the quantity of conflict might not have increased in recent years, but our exposure to it has. Also, people might have become more comfortable sharing their disdain, disappointment and disillusionment.

A Constant Grin beckons you to dive head-first into the mischief

Mon, 09/18/2023 - 9:19am | kdrtradio

Each week on A Constant Grin, DJ Chris Mussen delivers indie rock — serious indie — plus Dada show descriptions, like the sentence on this week’s playlist: “Sweet blood bribing my reckless tuxedo egg enemies all winter.”

Chris says A Constant Grin, which has been part of KDRT for years, “is a home-recorded 30-minute maelstrom of mischievous miscellaneous music that can be heard every Friday at 2 p.m.,” plus via repeats and streaming. The current program starts with “Egg in a Frame,” by Palm, from its 2015 release Trading Basics (pictured).

Silver Nine Volt Heart for Sept. 14, 2023, starts with the great Link Wray

Thu, 09/14/2023 - 6:10pm | Rodriguez

Screenshot 2023-09-15 at 9.53.09 AM.png

In today's Silver Nine Volt Heart you will hear the sounds of Link Wray, The Wailers, Nashville Honeymoon, and much more.

Wray's performance of "Apache" opens the show. Wray (1927-2005; photo shows cover of his The Pathway Sessions album) is in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, which says "If there is one musician with an overriding influence over all rock guitarists – from 1960s British rock to 1970s punk to 1980s hardcore to 1990s grunge – that musician is Link Wray. Every young rebel who has donned a leather jacket and slashed away at an electric guitar with loud, distorted abandon owes [him] a significant debt."

And once that song wraps up, well, DJ Rodriguez is only getting started.

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.
