New Like Whatever on KFAI Community Radio

06/10/2020

I'm looking for websites and streams where I can discover more new black and brown music to play on the air. Can anyone provide me with inlets? I've got the outlet covered over at KFAI - Fresh Air Community Radio - 90.3 FM HD. Extra points for anyone who can point me to a resource for clean versions of new (and old) hip hop.

Also we now use a lovely program called Spinitron to publish our playlists. This week's show featured a lot of guitars, and it felt cathartic to hear some people wail on the electric in this sub-zero weather. At any rate, here are the songs:

I try not to brag, so Valerie does it for me. She said last weeks show was one of the best she's ever heard, and she's got better taste than most people aged 10-99. I played a lot of twee pop and a little Michael Yonkers. Tomorrow morning kicks off with some jazz followed by choice electronic courtesy of Luke Andrews. Tune in at 90.3fm Minneapolis or at kfai.org.

I know I say it every week, but it's true! I had a blast producing yesterday's show. According to this playlist, I'm still a sleepy guitar worshiper deep down. But, things get awesome at the end with a little Anna Calvi, Daft Punk, and Ariel Pink.
Catch next week when Tom, Ilya, Greggory, and myself talk about Amen Dunes, Deafheaven, and Tierra Whack at LENGTH. Year is shaping up nicely!

Revisit my interview with Warren Thomas Fenzi on last week's show. His EP release is tomorrow night at Icehouse MPLS and you'd do well to be there. Also some local tunes from Fragile Canyons and more folky goodies.
Tomorrow morning things get a little darker as I reach closer to some fantastic end of year shows. Stay tuned.
