(Click on "read more" below to see link to playlist.) This week's program spotlights the musical talents of UK band, Above & Beyond (photo), described as uplifting, silky electronic trance music featuring dreamy female vocals. Although one band member is from Finland, they are a hot property in the British DJ club scene.   Listen for two tracks as part of the second-hour chill out session.  Early in the program, you'll hear from other Fringe Toast (FT) first-timers, Jen Foster and also Tristan Prettyman (photo), southern California native who will perform "Little Bit" from her 2008 CD, Hello. Other singer-songwriters this night include Amy Speace, Kendra Smith, AM, Sarah Harmer, and Copper Wimmin.

The question that has occupied philosophers from time immemorial is:  What do groundhogs and crepes have in common?

The answer, weirdly enough, is that they are both associated with Candlemas, a Catholic holiday (which in turn was possibly celebrated on February 2nd in order to subvert the pagan celebration of the goddess Brighid, but that's another story).

This week Dennis rebroadcasts his interview with John and Elizabeth Edwards.

Mrs. Edwards is the wife John Edwards, the former U.S. Senator from North Carolina who sought the Democratic Party's nomination to run for President in 2008.

John Edwards was the Democratic nominee for Vice President in 2004 and a one-term U.S. Senator from North Carolina. Edwards was a Democratic candidate in the 2008 Presidential election.

Caleb Hawley in the studio tonight live at 8pm.

He plays live at Cafe Paradiso February 2nd at 8pm.

He rocks. You should listen.

As I walk above the pavement,
I can feel you walking with me carrying me
And I hear above the silence
all these voices screaming loudly at my ear
~ Shed Their Fear, Yael Meyer

A dancer and singer since childhood in her native Chile, Yael Meyer received a scholarship to Berklee College of Music at the age of 19.  It was there that she gained a deeper appreciation of the power of music and its ability to make a positive difference in the world.  Currently residing in L.A., Yael released her new Heartbeat EP just a couple months ago.  A beautiful blend of folk, pop and electronica, the delicate, delightful songs on Heartbeat will tickle your ears and put a smile on your heart. They are definitely making a positive difference in MY world! :)

Join me Tuesday February 2nd for an interview with Yael!  Tune in from 9-10am Central for the full hour of Lyrical Venus, Yael will be calling in at 9:30.

MOTOWN IN yo' TOWN!!

It's show time in no time

FMC's Motown R&B will be firing things up again tonight for a final performance at the Sondheim Center Sunday January 31st at 7:30pm.

FAIRFIELD MUSICIANS CLUB IN THE HOUSE

Last night's show was standing room only and an amazing era-defying, soul satisfying, electrifying display of extraordinary area talent celebrating the Motor City's soul scene and more--all in support of Fairfield's performing arts center.

This week, Selector Cleofus Williams [Asheville, NC, based dj/promoter] and Higher Intelligence Agency [UK based live electronica/ambient pioneer] will be sharing coconuts under a tree on an island of groove. Cleofus will be featuring his unique mix of ambient, dub, and dubstep and we'll hear original music from HIA, performed live at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival on the Pyramid Stage in May of 2007...kick off your shoes, put your toes in the sand and pull up a coconut for some laidback, late night chillage.
Sunday night January 31st 2010
Beginning @ 11e/10c/9m/8p
::Obvious World::

Well, skibbery biscuit, looks like we're in for some new shows soon!  But first enjoy a rebroadcast of the interview with Joseph Millar.  Coming up in February:  interviews with Gladys Swan and Marge Piercy, an excursion into angel-headed hipster madness with Albertino Alma Spaghetti, and special tracks laid down by The Lear Jets and The Gargling Barbers of Frankfurt.  Spitzen nagel!

I drove to Iowa City to hear Rhino read from his new book, “The Rutabaga Dalliances.” It had been 13 years since I last saw him, and in that near decade and a half he had received many piercings to his face and body. Couple that with his tattoos (an anaconda whose head peeped out on his neck and wound– I was told– round and around his various body parts with its tail finally doing a little shimmy-shake number around his ankle), he resembled a stage version of Queequeg who had been attacked in the face with a staple gun. He read well. A flock of grad students, with hair dyed the twenty flavors of Hawaiian shaved ice, listened attentively. The upper room of the bookstore where he read was well packed with the curious, the kooky, and the radio and television techs from the university FM and cable stations.
