I'd just really like to emphasize how wonderful this lady is. I've been playing at least one Bettye Swann song each show for the past month, and that's because she's too good! Her voice is creamy and smooth; her songs have a crisp and clean production. She's easily one of my favorite soul discoveries.Buy her album here -- or keep an eye out for it elsewhere...

I noticed that I've been playing a lot of "sunny indie" and "bright soul," but the "hazy folk" has been lacking lately. So today is a special mostly-folk day.

It's Valentine's Day. OK. Here's my gift to one Amanda J. Smellorz.I was watching Tyra the other day, and Tyra was like, "Valentine's Day is a great opportunity to show the ones you love that you love 'em. Doesn't have to be a romantic love.

I sorta "liveblogged" the show today. It was a successful experiment. The playlist was neater, I was more organized, the kids at home could follow it easier...good show all around.The set started out fairly cute and dreamy, then gradually became more rambunctious; wrapped it up soft and low at the end.hello seahorse - no encontre nada - hoy a las ochopipas - barbapapa - a cat escaped*little wings

This week is KUCI's 40th Anniversary of being on the air. To celebrate, we're doing a week of special themed days. Today was Record Label Day, and I picked my favorite little underdog label: Flying Nun!Flying Nun was started in 1981 in Christchurch, New Zealand. For the next decade and a half, all sorts of plucky garage bands were signed to this label, most of them from rural towns scattered

Hey gang!This Saturday will be a special All Hallow's Morn edition of "Take a Run at the Sun." You won't wanna miss that.And speaking of Halloween...I made two Halloween mixes for the new mixtape project, Mixed Tapes for Mixed Tastes!One of them is in the old surf vein of this show (see fig. 1), and the other one is just a grab-bag of stuff.I'll be playing some of these songs on Saturday...and

On today's show, I gave my listeners a small glimpse into the magical world of Space Disco.In the late '70s, people were crazy about space. Everyone became endlessly fascinated by every new automatic appliance and "computer"; Star Wars and Star Trek fueled the public demand for space operas.So space was huge.Almost as huge as disco.So, the space-themed disco songs started popping up all over the

I've been subbing for Truffle Shuffle the past couple of weeks (Thursday mornings, 6-8am PST). This show generally plays indie rock, but I always find myself slipping weird little tunes in there. Keeps me on my toes in that early morning.I found loads of songs listed in an e-mail draft; I think this is two shows combined. In fact, I know this is two shows combined, because there were lots of

I got a little flustered near the end. I think it's because I checked the stats of the internet stream, and I had a surprising amount of listeners. Also, I forgot that although the Dead Milkmen are adorable punk kids, they are also *punk kids,* and that means that they cuss a lot. I can't play that!I played a lot of certain artists. Those artists are italicized. Why did I play them so much?

Tonight I was on the air for four (4!) hours, because I subbed the show that came after mine (the wonderful "The Song Also Rises"). So this week's playlist is especially long. The first half is mostly surf, and the second half is rrrreally mellow stuff, in the mode of Mt. Eerie -- both wistfully happy and morose.Also, around 4:30am, a British friend of mine "called in" requests, all the way from
