It's a guest deejay slot this week in Berkeley!!

- - ANNOUNCEMENT!! - -

THURSDAY 9/27/07
9am - NOON (Pacific Time)
'The In Crowd' guest DJ slot on KALX 90.7 FM in Berkeley
( http://kalx.berkeley.edu ),
live on the air with Sex 14s.

As if another visit back to the bay area from whence I came isn't excitement enough for me, this upcoming
THURSDAY the 27th,
barring incident, I'll be on the air sitting in with my dear friend
Sex 14s, spinning tunes during his morning timeslot on KALX.
Last time I did this was back in January, and Sex was gracious enough to turn his show over to me for the duration. It was just WAY too much fun.

(KALX ad image by DJ Craig Baxter.) ⤴

I hope you'll listen in, if you have the opportunity. It's been a while since I've had the live radio experience I love so much.
Could be I'll suck, which I'm sure would also be entertaining...

radio boise playlist for week of 08/20/07

This show wandered briefly through some jazz (including a brief farewell to the legendary
Max Roach), some old R&B, and some outlaw C&W before settling into it's main theme:

Songs that S.P.E.L.L. out their T.I.T.L.E.S.

I've completely swiped this week's theme from one of my old radio D.J. pals at K.A.L.X. in Berkeley, the lovely Jesse Luscious.

Jesse recently polled other KALX DJ's to pool their vast musical knowledge for candidates for such a theme show.
(In my defense, I made a few of the contributions to that list, O.K.?)

It was fun putting it all together. Hope you E.N.J.O.Y.E.D.

Questions, comments or suggestions for future shows are all welcome!

T.H.A.N.K.S. !!

I'm doubtful that anyone out there has more fun than me when I'm programming another show.

I get to indulge my whims, pick the music that moves me at the moment, and let it fall together in a manner that suits my tastes.

The result couldn't possibly suit everyone, but I follow my own happiness confident that the show will strike the right people the right way.

It's a great privilege, and I thank you for being involved in the process.

And as always: Any questions, comments about the music - - just click on the 'email me' link.

Thanks again, thanks!
