Here's what we've got coming up this week:
Tune in Wednesday night at 9 PM for your weekly visit to the aether with Starlight
Observers. This show is dedicated to the deep listening sounds of sonic therapy, new-age spirituality and meditation. We'll be using this hour to primarily explore the explosive new age cassette phenomenon of the late 70s to mid 90s, as well as enjoying a variety of quiet musics from a plethora of traditions and locales. Turn down the lights, close your eyes and sink into everything.
On Free Samples this week, the Free is returning to the age of New Jack Swing! With the boom-bap style and the soft-but-sultry attitude, Free Samples will revisit the Philly and NYC vocalists of the early 90s. Mary J. Blige, Boyz II Men, and New Edition will are just a few that will remind listeners of the East Coast Golden Age. The "Swing" is back in effect on Thursday Evening, from 5-7 PM!
