Since the North Carolina Democratic primary arrives May 6, along with a barrage of advertising and mediocre bands, the nomination war between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton was the main topic of discussion, though McCain and his alleged "chipmunk cheeks" cropped up, too. http://www.wxyc.org/blog/2008/04/political-party-hardy.html Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:29:01 EST The Feedback Farm and WXYC 89.3 FM 56:10 Does your closet contain anything you should really just throw away? Are outmoded styles keeping you from getting that promotion at work? Do you just plain need fashion advice? This week the Feedback Farmers (in their expanded form) welcomed spring with a look at this season's hottest new fashions. Yellow is in, leggings are out. Waists are going higher, pant legs are wider. Strap on your gladiator sandals and give it a listen. Farmer Chris Clayma(tio)n joins the posse and granulizes Rod Stewart, and fashion expert Julianna gets pessimistic about pastels. http://www.wxyc.org/blog/2008/04/feedback-fashionistas.html Thu, 10 Apr 2008 00:29:01 EST The Feedback Farm and WXYC 89.3 FM 1:00:29 Frankly, hot dogs are a pretty curious food, for a number of reasons. Thusly inspired, this episode is about all things wiener. By the end of the hour, the Farmers manage to encase their listeners in an array of collage and discussion that can only be described as intestinal and dubiously sourced, albeit protein-rich. New Farmers Steph, Andy, and Bryson join the posse. http://www.wxyc.org/blog/2008/03/hot-diggity-dog.html Thu, 27 Mar 2008 00:29:01 EST The Feedback Farm and WXYC 89.3 FM 1:00:58 The third installment in the Dreams series again featured dreams collected in the Chapel Hill area. The Farmers accosted people on the UNC campus, at the Weaver Street Market, and at a local bike shop. http://www.wxyc.org/blog/2008/03/recurring-dreams.html Thu, 20 Mar 2008 00:29:01 EST The Feedback Farm and WXYC 89.3 FM 1:35:18 (BONUS archival mp3!) This is Kevin's and PJ's dream collage from the third hour of their March 17, 2005 Thursday Night Feature. It contains music, sound effects, and the dreams (or lack thereof) of over 100 interviewees and callers to the Dream Line. This piece was also submitted to the 2005 dreams-themed Chapel Hill Community Art Project sponsored by the Chapel Hill Public Arts Commission, and was the only sound work exhibited. http://www.wxyc.org/dreams/ Thu, 20 Mar 2008 00:28:01 EST PJ Disclafani, Kevin Clark, dream tellers, and WXYC 89.3 FM 58:44 (BONUS archival mp3!) The dream collage that started the obsession, broadcast on WXYC March 29, 2004. From PJ's freeform show. http://www.wxyc.org/dreams/index.html Thu, 20 Mar 2008 00:27:01 EST PJ Disclafani, dream tellers, and WXYC 89.3 FM 21:22 This week, the Feedback Farmers play with that perennial caveman favorite, Fire! Thankfully, no one is horribly burned. Featuring glorious contributions from Andy, Steph, Chris, and Bryson. http://www.wxyc.org/blog/2008/03/hot-topic.html Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:29:01 EST The Feedback Farm and WXYC 89.3 FM 58:36 In which Feedback Farm takes a break to make way for the WXYC Beg-A-Thon. We don't want your money -- we just want you to pledge your money! Many thanks and a big Valentine's Day kiss to the 30 of you who gave us pledges of your money, souls, cat pelts, exotic birds, and half-eaten sandwiches. http://www.wxyc.org/blog/2008/02/pledge.html Thu, 14 Feb 2008 00:35:01 EST The Feedback Farm and WXYC 89.3 FM 1:02:44 After over a month of well-deserved rest, the Feedback Farmers light up the airwaves with a smoking return to their bi-weekly broadcast. Inspired by the Jan. 1 implementation of a UNC campus ban on smoking within 100 feet of any building, cigarette smoking was the topic of discussion. http://www.wxyc.org/blog/2008/01/youve-come-long-way-baby.html Thu, 31 Jan 2008 01:06:01 EST The Feedback Farm and WXYC 89.3 FM 1:02:59 Season Finale. The Feedback Farm disappoints yet again. After promising that they were organized and ready to put on a great show, in their most recent episode the Farmers came across as unprepared and unprofessional, as the show was seemingly plagued by technical difficulties and short tempers. http://www.wxyc.org/blog/2007/12/comedy-of-errors.html Sun, 09 Dec 2007 22:56:01 EST The Feedback Farm and WXYC 89.3 FM 1:00:04 The Farmers prepare for and reflect on the Thanksgiving holiday and teach their listeners the proper temperature at which turkey should be cooked. http://www.wxyc.org/blog/2007/12/happy-turkey-day.html Tue, 04 Dec 2007 12:51:01 EST The Feedback Farm and WXYC 89.3 FM 1:02:07 Robots took over the WXYC airwaves last night on the Feedback Farm. Are robots benevolent helpers of humanity or sinister machines plotting to overthrow their creators? http://www.wxyc.org/blog/2007/11/robot-attack.html Tue, 04 Dec 2007 12:51:01 EST The Feedback Farm and WXYC 89.3 FM 54:37 The Feedback Farmers visited the North Carolina State Fair with stolen press passes and filed this report. http://www.wxyc.org/blog/2007/11/feedback-farm-fun-for-entire-family.html Wed, 24 Oct 2007 22:59:01 EST The Feedback Farm and WXYC 89.3 FM 50:40 In which Chapel Hill's very own working class heroes pay tribute to the proletariat. http://www.wxyc.org/blog/2007/10/hi-ho-hi-ho.html Fri, 12 Oct 2007 12:07:01 EST The Feedback Farm and WXYC 89.3 FM 1:01:33 On a "normal" day it's hard to understand what those Feedback Farmers are saying and doing, but this past week they were definitely speaking a foreign language. In celebration of the European Day of Languages--September 26th every year--the Farmers explored language, European Languages in particular. http://www.wxyc.org/blog/2007/09/feedback-farm-travels-abroad.html Fri, 28 Sep 2007 12:07:01 EST The Feedback Farm and WXYC 89.3 FM 55:03 Two out of four Feedback Farmers recommend that you listen to this show to put you on the path to excellent dental hygiene. The other two recommend against it. The choice is yours. http://www.wxyc.org/blog/2007/09/oral-hygiene-aural-hi-jinks.html Fri, 31 Aug 2007 12:07:01 EST The Feedback Farm and WXYC 89.3 FM 1:06:51 30 years to the day since the receipt of the Wow! Signal the Feedback Farmers took on the topic of Making Contact, with a heavy focus on UFOs. Are we alone in the universe? Are the aliens already among us? Do they know how to play our records? Controversial but compelling, listen as the Farmers investigate. http://www.wxyc.org/blog/2007/08/feedback-farm-makes-contact.html Fri, 17 Aug 2007 12:07:01 EST The Feedback Farm and WXYC 89.3 FM 59:19 The seventh part of the Feedback Farm's Life Cycle Trilogy. The topic was a serious one -- death. Why is death such a dicey subject? What happens after you die? Do you know any famous people who died on August 5th? Listen as the Farmers broach the taboo topic and answer all of these questions and more http://www.wxyc.org/blog/2007/08/end.html Sun, 5 Aug 2007 12:07:01 EST The Feedback Farm and WXYC 89.3 FM 1:05:30
