Good morning Mr. Phelps. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to listen. From the deepest darkest heart of the mission come the throbbing beats of something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. All for you.

Film Close-ups features a small group of film enthusiasts talking at sometimes disarming length about independent, foreign or mainstream films, local festivals and film-related events. In-depth interviews and unabashed reviews, all without commercials. Produced by Sonia Mistry. Hosted by Greg Scharpen, Sonia Mistry, Chandler Bennett, Harrison Foster, Martina Tran, and Katie Stanford. Every Saturday from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm.

What you hear is only most of what you get; requests, mostly of the rockin' kind, are incredibly welcome. It's opinion scattered among caffeinated punk, hip-hop, ska, country, rap, rockabilly and practically anything else thrown at the listeners like so much rotten, yet strange, fruit. Run-on sentences are a way of life!

What Heino making love to a manatee would sound like, only better.  Unless she actually plays Heino in which case it sounds worse than a manatee making love to Heino.

Rockin' the joint with punk, r&b, garage, rockabilly, soul & jazz.

"Radio has helped to make people fixated on one particular kind of a sound and one particular kind of a style. And, a lot of people today, since music education is virtually nonexistent in public schools, they don't even know what they've been missing in terms of music from other cultures, music from America from other periods, (and) different styles. You may not like it all, but if you don't even know that it exists, how are you going to make up your mind?" - Frank Zappa

One of the few animals to exhibit tool usage is the Homo Paniscus. Start your week observing the other, lesser-known, common social behavior of this species, spinning small polycarbonite and polyvinyl discs. The ape hits his stride with indie and not-so-indie, pop, rock, and not-so-pop-rock, but also usually ventures down uncommon territory during this show, his study of human musical behavior.

All that Jazz...for one hour! Every Friday night / Saturday morning from midnight to 1 am.

Presented in low-quality stereophonic sound, the Scratchy Vinyl show is the program on KALX where the music will go in one ear and out the other

Wandering the foggy moors of dreamland with only a Victrola to light the way. Where songs about Jesus and Satan intermix with ditties about cheeses and seitan. Tipping sacred cows as we stumble towards a kind of Valhalla where Ish Kabibble shares a table with Subbulakshmi.

A big, brash, and bold god of the airwaves. Playing everything from New Order to The English Beat, The Jam to Metronomy, all accompanied by amusingly insightful commentary. "My aim is not to offend, it is to entertain, and also perhaps educate a little."

When imagination blooms on the bowers of the Gods, the Muse provides the fruits--a la carte or full service. All genres considered (except Muzak).

Got'em, if you smoke'm. Pioneering the aural trail with the odd, indie and international to live layering bionic meltdowns. Spreading seeds of sound, far and near - everything you've never heard (or not heard quite like this)! Take the time to smell the weeds . . .
