Listening Lyrics

Listening Lyrics, Kurt.org, community radio

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 Feb 14th, 2014, the VINYL show

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

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.

Listening Lyrics Jan 17th, 2014 with Bart van der Zeeuw

Bart van der Zeeuw discusses his love of music and shares some of his favorite tunes. A lifelong musician (drums and percussion) who has the experience of traveling the world in a rock group or adding his delicate touch to an intimate jazz trio that is BART. This was a VERY eclectic hour of song and discussion.

Listening Lyrics Jan 10th, 2014 with RICHIE LAWRENCE

Explore the sounds of Richie Lawrence on his new CD "WATER" This interview is a one on one with one great songwriter, musician, vocalist and a great guy sharing his new CD "WATER" with us.  The songs Richie Lawrence has written for Water are deceptively simple, composed of rippling melodies full of shadow and light, lyrics brimming with poetry and plainspoken truth and an invitation to join in a dance of love, laughter and compassion. Their complexity delights with the first listen, slowly unfolding to reveal an unexpected intensity of color and flavor as they linger on the emotional palette.

 

Listening Lyrics Dec 27th, 2013 with Moonlit Wheat

A very talented, up-and-coming singer/songwriter was in the studio to introduce his new CD. Listening Lyrics was thrilled to spend an hour with Colin Wagner, his guitar, and his voice.
 
Moonlit Wheat was born in a cinderblock cell of a dorm room when Colin found himself fascinated enough with the warm glow of early Mountain Goats records streaming through his computer that he devoted himself to pursuing the captivating witchcraft of songwriting.

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!
