Last week's Wild Kingdom featured a tip of the hat to Cologne, Germany.
So much techno, etc. comes out of Germany that one could specialize in
the output of one big city and still keep very busy... Anyway, the
playlist for last week's set is available at
http://www.kfjc.org/music/playlist.php?i=32988 .
Tonight I'll be plying a set of Orb tunes to respectfully mark the
passing of Andy Hughes. There'll be a bit of Michael Jackson action as
well, but not of the sort you might usually expect. Thanks go to Forrest
Fang who provided a piece of the puzzle. Programming has declared "Freak
Week" starting this Sunday night at 10PM, and continuing until 10PM the
following Sunday. This means the gloves come off, and DJs can do
anything they want as long as they satisfy the legalities by providing a
Station ID each hour and stay out of trouble with the FCC. I'm thinking
of doing a Detroit set - maybe a Detroit ambient set (Tony Drake, some
CC, Detroit Escalator Company, John Beltran, etc). Or maybe I'll just
bring up two turntables to augment the three already in the master
studio and play 3 hours of locked groove insanity. Suggestions? Bring
them on... This coming Friday (the 3rd) I'm spending some of my holiday
time filling in during the 10A-2P time slot. I'll be playing a set of
classic soul, acid jazz, funk - you get the picture....

"The Wild Kingdom" airs on KFJC-FM 89.7, Saturday night/Sunday Morning,
12A-3A (8A-10A GMT). Potential listeners outside the San Francisco Bay
area can find a webcast at http://www.kfjc.org/netcast/index.php .
Present and past Wild Kingdom playlists are also archived at kfjc.org.
You can also check out archived playlists from my first KFJC show "Just
Desserts" that was on Fridays 10P-2A from 1992 through 1999. Archived
playlists exist for that show starting from Fall 1995 to New Year's Eve
1999/2000, so you can see what what I'm up to these days is pretty much
consistent with what I was up to all along.
If you do tune in (especially via the web), please take a little time to
let me know your locale. I'm also interested in promo music from all
over and in promoting local (San Francisco Bay area) techno-type events.
If you want to do some promotion for an event, contact the KFJC
promotions department at pr...@kfjc.org to arrange ticket giveaways
and/or to send information for inclusion in our concert outlook. Thanks
to those who have sent promo music so far.
Regards,
