Listening Lyrics

Welcome to an hour of Listening Lyrics, right here on KDRT 95.7 FM in Davis, California.

No musical passports required. Folk can sit next to funk, jazz can dance with rock, and a singer-songwriter might end up sharing a park bench with a reggae band. Listening Lyrics is your invitation to escape the noise of the day and enter a world of elaborate sounds, unexpected discoveries, and songs that have something to say.

This is the kind of journey only commercial-free community radio can provide.

So close your eyes. Open your ears. Relax your mind. Join me, Pieter Pastoor, as we send color to your ears and wander through the vast landscape of music and lyrics—the grand meeting place of rhythm, imagination, and the remarkable human ability to create art. Whether it's a whisper, a roar, a groove, or a melody you've never heard before, it all belongs here.

Remember: Real Music. Real Community. Real Good Music.

Listening Lyrics - Mar 14th, 2014 with ROBERT KENNEDY

Fri, 03/14/2014 - 5:05pm | Pieter Pastoor

Robert Kennedy is a drummer supreme. Lives in Davis and shared with us a story about his cat. Robert introduced us some of his music favorites. So be prepared to hear some fine jazz along some fine banter.

Robert has also started drawing so that tells all of us he lives in the right side of his brain. This was a fun hour

Listening Lyrics Feb 28th, 2014 with MOTHER FALCON

Fri, 02/28/2014 - 5:05pm | Pieter Pastoor

Listen in as we talk and hear this one eclectric group of fine musicians. Mother Falcon began as a jam session among a group of high school cellists eager to break out of the classical repertoire that predominated their musical training. Since then, the band has evolved as an organic collective of classically trained young musicians determined to push their artistry into new musical territory.

Listening Lyrics Feb 14th, 2014, the VINYL show

Fri, 02/14/2014 - 5:05pm | Pieter Pastoor

What a surprise - my guest this week had to cancel. So an opportunity presented itself. This created the vinyl show. The past few months I have found some sweet vinyl LP records that are just itching to be spun. We started of with the SACRED MUSHROOM, a Cincinnati group in the false60's. Blues mixed with the Grateful Dead was their awesome sound. 

But listen up - this is one eclectic hour. So TUNE in.

Listening Lyrics Feb 7th, 2014 with Stelth Ulvang of THE LUMINEERS

Mon, 02/10/2014 - 3:45pm | Pieter Pastoor

An interview with STELTH ULVANG.  With Stelth and also performing was Abe Abraham.  Stelth is the keyboard guy in The Lumineers, but wait, he also does vocals, plays the guitar, saxaphone, flute and much more. So find out what makes this multi talented individual tick. Stelth did a week of small west coast shows to bring (in an intimate setting) selection of songs that he is writing for a new CD.

What can I say; I LOVED THIS SHOW!

Additionally, I'll let you in on a secret, this was the first time that I listened to, not one, but two complete Rap songs -- and enjoyed them. :)

Loved the show and thoroughly enjoyed Cory. Tell him what Michael J Fox once said; "I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business."  He was excellent.

the October 3rd show was way too short. What a mellow and superbly classy hour that just blew by. Thanks!
