[street-ammo-productions]

The Eclipse Show on KGNU (88.5 FM) in Boulder, Colorado, is a long-running radio show with a deep history in the hip-hop community. It started in 1978 as an alternative Black radio show and gradually evolved to focus on hip-hop, becoming one of the earliest to introduce hip-hop to Colorado listeners. Over the years, the show also featured funk and soul music, making it a staple for fans of these genres.

Originally, the show had to navigate regional resistance to hip-hop in its early days. DJ Chris Nathan joined in 1990, at a time when the show had a "quiet storm" vibe and was still balancing its hip-hop content with the regional climate. Eventually, Nathan took over, leading the show for nearly three decades. By 2018, The Eclipse Show had celebrated 40 years, marking it as one of the longest-running hip-hop radio programs worldwide, and it remains on air today as a key part of KGNU’s programming and Colorado’s hip-hop legacy.

KGNU Radio - HEAL tip with Beverly Grant

[thegroovethief]

Well, I just added a whole stack of KGNU radio shows over to my Mixcloud archive (where I try my best to collect all event and radio recordings)! 19 shows, wow. Glad to be caught-up now, haha! Here's a few of my favorites from the bunch:

And, just to round out the math, figured I'd release a mix I've been sitting on for a few weeks now, too:

Hope you're staying safe, and making fact-based health decisions...

Pamela Z - Echolocation - reissue of 1988 experimental new wave LP featuring vocal looping; really psyched to be reintroduced to this artist that I saw live on a visit to San Francisco in 1992. My most distinct memory of that show is “Bald Boyfriend,” not on this album but a video exists (at bottom of post).

Born in Buffalo, New York in 1956, Pamela Z has spent her time performing and composing towards the singular objective of finding sounds yet unfelt. Beginning as singer-songwriter on the guitar while studying music in Boulder, Colorado, most of Z’s musical ventures centered around covering artists like Joni Mitchell and Malvina Reynolds B-sides. While getting gigs around the Denver metro-area and moonlighting as a radio host for public radio station KGNU playing tunes spanning from “Varèse to the Ramones, to the Roches, to Pauline Oliveros”, she soon realized she should be building towards the sounds she listened to so much. This revelation dovetailed with the rise of home taping, the zenith of synthesizer culture, and the acquisition of a digital delay pedal, the Ibanez-DM1000, to bring her the signature sound she continues to perfect. Echolocation was composed by Pamela Z at a time where her name and presence were only beginning to send shockwaves to the Bay Area New Music scene and later the world. Freedom To Spend re-releases Z’s 1988 limited run, cassette only debut onto the New Music scene; a lush tapestry of deep listening vocal meditations, MIDI explorations, and operatic art rock junctures. Echolocation proves in its runtime to still be searching after over three decades since its deliverance. 

All pieces composed and performed by Pamela Z Synthesizers on “I Know” by Donald Swearingen Drums on “I Know” by Shof Synthesizers and drum programming on “An In” by Bill Stefanacci The text of “Pop Titles ‘You’” was taken from a 1986 issue of The Phonolog Report The recordings are presented in the best fidelity possible but occasionally betray the limitations of the master source. Originally released on Zed in 1988. Licensed under permission and in cooperation with Pamela Z. Come! Mend! On behalf of Pamela Z, a portion of the proceeds from this release will benefit The Center for New Music, which fosters contemporary music’s growth by giving practicing artists access to professional resources and expertise, and by providing them with opportunities for sharing knowledge and exploring new ideas.  centerfornewmusic.com

“There’s no season anymore. It’s a wildfire year”: The importance of being prepared May 3, 2024

This Saturday (May 4) is Wildfire Community Preparedness Day. It happens on the first Saturday in May, sponsored by the National Fire Protection Association and State Farm Insurance, and it sets out to bring people together to do projects that can reduce wildfire risk to homes and property.

Michelle Steinberg is the Division Director at the National Fire Protection Association. KGNU’s Jackie Sedley spoke with her about what community members should know, in Colorado and beyond, when it comes to wildfires in 2024.

SOME LISTS BY DINA HORNREICH

In a not-so comprehensive (mostly desultory) manner I have thrown this list of current zeitgeisty kinds of things that I encountered in one way or another that had various compelling bits, chunks, and other substantial nuggets (if not their complete entirety) of a musical persuasion that provided something engaging, amusing, enlightening, challenging, discordant, or otherwise worthwhile for my freaky mind, body, and soul to chew on in this last year of 2019. There are always tons and tons of things that I missed and/or never got to (but always meant to) so not exhaustive whatsoever.

 And to go full circle around in the weird miasmic disorientations of blogs/zines, and every tool in between...I could mention the writers at Bust, Bitch, Pitchfork, even… DAGGER. But credit for discoverability also includes the vending platforms of Spotify/Bandcamp/Apple Music/Soundcloud themselves (and their haunted algorithms) as well as musicians’ various social media counterparts (which may or may not include their publicists) on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. (and where does YouTube fit in exactly?) which means the industry will eventually eat itself. Happy New Year, ladies and germs. Who knows what the next decade will bring? Whatever it may be, let it be progress rather than random changes for no apparently good reasons.
