Davisville, Nov. 13, 2017: Our yearly guide to films with Davis critic Derrick Bang

Mon, 11/13/2017 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Derricks blog.png

Today I welcome back Davis movie critic Derrick Bang, who offers his entertaining opinions on films to see and avoid as 2017 winds down. This show is an annual feature on Davisville. The New York Times recently posted a list of about 100 films coming out in the next two months. Seeing them all would take, what, about five weeks of full-time effort? This is why we need movie critics, to help sort 'em all out!

Album of the Week (11/8): Abyss by Chelsea Wolfe

Tue, 11/07/2017 - 10:10am | Eunah

Chelsea Wolfe-Abyss

Chelsea Wolfe's music could possibly best be described as folk metal. But you might disagree--that's just my take.

Her sound is often noisy & dark (e.g. tracks 1 "Carrion Flowers" or 2 "Iron Moon" or 10 "Color of Blood"), but other moments are beautiful, tender, and delicate (e.g. tracks 4 "Maw" or 8 "Simple Death" or ). Her dad was in a country band & she loves Hank Williams, things you can totally hear in some of her songs. But then she took her country/folk roots and gave her music a goth/doom/metal spin.

I chose to play a Chelsea Wolfe album because I love her music--and also got majorly inspired after seeing her live in Sacto (her hometown!) last Friday! Hopefully you don't get put off by the metal or noisy descriptions. You might be pleasantly surprised by what she has to offer.

Davisville, Oct. 23, 2017: For fundraising week, a backstage look at 3 public affairs shows

Mon, 10/23/2017 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

IMG_1009 (1).jpg

It's fundraising week, so I dedicated this week's program to a discussion among three of KDRT's public-affairs program hosts -- Gitane (right), Lois Richter, and yours truly -- on where they (we) get ideas, what makes a good show, and the spirit of community radio, which can range from ramshackle to polished. Lois co-hosts the Davis Garden Show with Don Shor, plus hosts her own program That's Life. Dr. G hosts Heart to Heart -- and among other things tonight, explains why she can't really give advice on air to people in Davis who might otherwise call with their problems. As she says, microphones are better now than they used to be. Even if a guest with a problem were never named, Davis is still small enough that their voice might be recognized.

News flash - our new antenna is up and running, and now we ask you to let us know how we are sounding. This short survey will take less than a minute and will give us valuable information about how well the signal is carrying throughout Davis.

We are very grateful to all the listeners who helped us last year with our first Listener Survey where about 40% reported fair to poor or variable signal reception. We expect to see an improvement this time around now that the new and improved antenna has been installed, so please take a moment to let us know.

Thank you! Link to https://kdrt.org/fall2017survey
