Beethoven and bugs!

Tue, 11/27/2012 - 1:00pm | Dr. Paul

yolo archiveyolo archiveWhat, you might ask, do Beethoven and bugs have in common? Listen to today's show to get the sometimes surprising answer. Yes, today's program is evenly divided ... The first hour reflects Beethoven's stormier, more dramatic music, including the Fifth Symphony, the Fifth Piano Concerto, and "Ode to Joy," the conclusion to his Ninth Symphony. The second hour features Emmet Brady, KDRT's own cultural entomologist and host of Insect News Network, http://kdrt.org/node/9234. Emmet knows about insects, classical music, and the place where the two intersect. He has selected 12 pieces composed by well-known classical music masters such as Bela Bartok and Mussorgsky. Dr. Paul and Emmet talk about their mutual love for the six-legged creatures of this planet and the music inspired by them. (Butterfly photo courtesy of Richard Bartz, Munich, aka Makro Freak.)

Jesus Just Jeft Chicago ... and Phish just entered the Events Center at UCSB

There are a few special treats in this well-rounded Phish show from Dec. 6, 1994. First, the band plays two acoustic tunes: Bill Monroe's I'm Blue, I'm Lonesome; and a Boston song, Foreplay/Long Time. Both are lovely listens. If that's not enough to tempt you, the encore features the Beatles tune "Back in the USSR," which Phish has only played twice in nearly 30 years. Here's the setlist. Enjoy! Set 1: Llama, Mound, Down with Disease, Fluffhead, Jesus Just Left Chicago, Sparkle, Stash, Golgi Apparatus Set 2: The Curtain > Sample in a Jar, Also Sprach Zarathustra > Poor Heart > Mike's Song > Simple -> The Mango Song > Weekapaug Groove, Hold Your Head Up > Bike > Hold Your Head Up, I'm Blue, I'm Lonesome, Foreplay/Long Time, Run Like an Antelope Encore: Back in the U.S.S.R.
