Blind Date with Kerry and Kyle

Two musicians. One mixtape. No plan. Kerry and Kyle take turns playing each other songs they love—sometimes for the first time—and talk about what they hear. It’s part conversation, part critique, part confessional. Expect layered production talk, personal stories, and lots of delay pedals.

Saturdays at 7 PM on Pirate Cat Radio: KPCR 92.9 FM Los Gatos and KMRT 101.9 FM Santa Cruz.

It is National DJ Month, and I did a collaboration with six of my Ska DJ friends, each submitting a three-song segment to the latest episode of This is SKA. Tune in today(and every Sunday) at Noon to KPCR 92.9FM and KMRT 101.9 FM.
Joining the show this week are...
Junor Francis, host of Reggae Connection on KSPC and the Reggae Show on KXLU Los Angeles 88.9 FM, brings us tracks by The Wailing Wailers, Stranger Cole, and a classic by an unknown artist.
Mad Manc, host of Ska Break on KGLT Alternative Public Radio Bozeman, plays the music of Desmond Dekker Reggae, English Beat, and Melbourne Ska Orchestra.
Joe Harant hosts Monster Boogie on WCSB 89.3fm and brings us tracks from Dr. Ring Ding, Baba Brooks Band, and Rudie Crew.
Timo, host of EAV Rudio, plays three brand new tracks from Catbite, Buck-O-Nine, and Joker's Republic.
Mikey Rhude of That Same Old Show plays a brand new track from Foolish Relics, an exclusive track from Smoke + Mirrors Soundsystem, and a song by Go Jimmy Go.
Our last but by no means least guest, Charles Benoit, the host of This is Ska Jazz, plays some jazzier tunes from Monty Alexander and Ernest Ranglin, THE RUDE PRESSURES, and Jeremy Taylor.
Don't worry, I am still in the mix with songs from The Skatalites Band, Byron Lee and the Dragonaires, Lynn Tait and His Boys, The Equators, Strange Tenants, Hepcat, The Su***de Machines, The Rabids, Hub City Stompers, The Prizefighters, The Bracers, Skaldik, and Bad Manners closing out the show.
