Tonight's Wild Kingdom was seeded from a small stack of CDs and vinyl that's been sitting on one of my kitchen counters (I know I'm a slob, but I'm an eclectic slob...) In the stack was stuff from Eevolute, TZ Records, Source Records, and Silver Recordings. These got melded with a similarly diverse stack of 12"s that was hanging out in my living room. You can hear the results tonight at midnight, GMT-8. Last week's set is stashed at http://www.kfjc.org/music/playlist.php?i=37400 .

I'm preparing for a day-long special feature called "Day of the Dead" featuring music from folks who passed untimely. I have plenty of material from rock, blues, and jazz, but the techno/electronic entries are a bit sparse. I doubt it's due to the healthy lifestyle.... Anyway, these are the people I've noted so far - Caspar Pound, Disco D, Nico (Dutch acid guy, not the Velvets chanteuse, though she also passed untimely), Ron Hardy, Ken Collier, Lee Newman. Aaron Carl, Christian Morgenstern, Kemi (of Kemi and Storm), and Warp's Rob Mitchell. Email me if you have suggestions.


Limited time archives for all shows on KFJC (including this one) are available at http://www.kfjc.org/broadcast_archives/ . These are "rolling archives", available for two weeks after any given show. My shows are listed under "Goodwrench". Send comments and suggestions to i...@kfjc.org .

"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,
