Album of the Week for January 28th - Adele's 25

Thu, 01/28/2016 - 3:44pm | Matt Blake

homepage_large.ce5f4d31.jpg

Hello. How are you?

Adele's 25 is a bit of a phenomenon. You can't stream it in it's entirety and you may never be able to... we shall see. Released on November 20, Rolling Stone named the album #2 on its top 50 albums of 2015. It is the fastest selling record in the history of the world with 3.38 million copies sold in its first week. There are eleven tracks on this album and a mind-blowing ten different producers, including Danger Mouse and the Smeezingtons. Critics seem to like it, even though they also throw in great turns of phrase such as Pitchfork's Amanda Petrusich who gives the album an impressive 7.3/10 yet says "Still: the cumulative effect is sometimes as treacly as the heavily frosted sheet cake being slid onto the buffet table in the carpeted banquet hall where this song will be blasting, on a loop, for all of eternity. Even your most adorable aunt—the one who loves a Yankee Candle—will eventually drain her flute of sparkling wine, lean forward, and be like, 'Dog, this s**t is corny.'"

And I hate this album.

QuidZin visits KDRT

A new band in town is not especially newsworthy, but then this is no ordinary band. QuidZin out of Woodland, CA, has created a unique sound, and that does make it newsworthy. Just for that reason I have the pleasure of hosting them on Listening Lyrics this Friday 1/22. Members are Jim Hillard (brass), Randy Berka (bass), and Naomi Rogers-Hefley (fiddle). Their genre is a mix of jazz, Irish folk, and rock. Listen in as we explore their sound.

Dug Deep hosts singer-songwriter Bob Woodruff for KDRT's Live in the Loam on Friday, January 22nd, at 2:30 pm PT. Originally a member of the country-rock band The Fields, Bob has since released four studio albums as a solo artist: 1994's Dreams & Saturday Nights, 1997's Desire Road, 2011's The Lost Kerosene Tapes 1999, and the upcoming The Year We Tried to Kill the Pain. His songs are anachronistic yet accessible, melodic yet gritty, intimate yet universal.

Album of the Week - Thursday 1/21/16 at 5:00PM - "Tiny Music" by Stone Temple Pilots

album of the week - KDRT 95,7FM

Stone Temple Pilots - Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop. My favorite album by one of the first bands I loved as a young teenager. Scott Weiland's death last month resonated with me the way Bowie and Glen Frey did my parents this past week. (Although those ones matter to me as well). Tiny Music is 41 minutes long, so I'll probably break tradition and play a little Bowie, Motörhead and Eagles to fill our the hour. Justin Cox your host this week

Davisville, 1/18/16: More stories from Oxford Circle's Gary Lee Yoder

Mon, 01/18/2016 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Gary Lee Yoder, now and then.png

Oxford Circle, which formed at Davis High School, made it big enough in the 1960s to play the Fillmore, Avalon and other major stages in San Francisco and Sacramento, sharing the bill with bands like the Grateful Dead. Gary Lee Yoder (photo), Oxford Circle’s main singer and writer, and later a member of Kak and Blue Cheer, still lives in Davis, and his first appearance on Davisville 13 months ago became one of KDRT’s most popular shows online for 2014-15. Today he returns with more stories, including the first time he heard Janis Joplin sing—Yoder was backstage at the Avalon with Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia at the time—and sizes up the possibility of Oxford Circle playing again. “It’s on the back burner,” he says. “It’d be fun.”

Album Review: Hurricane, by R Dyer and R Thomas

Sun, 01/17/2016 - 9:49pm | Scott Korinke

R Dyer and R Thomas Hurricane

Hurricane

Hurricane, released in 2013, is the third album by independent Mississippi duo R. Dyer and R. Thomas. The experimental-rock team dabbles in many sub-enres on this LP, even bordering on psychedelia, but they manage to stay grounded with a classic blues-rock guitar sound. On their more traditional tracks, they create a passionate atmosphere, with earthy vocals singing vague but thought-provoking lyrics. The best examples of this on the record are lead track "Butterfly" and title track "Hurricane," which provide six minutes of fun and inventive rock and roll. On the experimental side, the multilingual "Durare" and the wonderfully wonky "Delivery Pizza" bring new, unique sounds to the album. Overall, R. Dyer and R. Thomas manage to pack quite a few sounds and ideas into Hurricane, making the LP quite a fun and interesting listen for fans of many music genres.

A Tribute to David Bowie on Civilization Phaze IV, Sunday 1/17

Thu, 01/14/2016 - 7:45pm | Eunah

CIV PHAZE IV BOWIE.jpg

Civilization Phaze IV will be celebrating the life and work of the late great David Bowie. A master melder of the avant-garde and popular, Bowie was a musical tour de force who had an immense impact on people from all walks of life--he's one of the few artists who was respected in equal measure by people in both classical and popular musical spheres.

"Knowledge comes with death's release." -David Bowie
