Radio Bonnaroo - Tomorrow On WEVL!

That's right! The radio program inspired by the hippie freak out/indie hipster festival that occurs every year in Manchester, TN will be aired tomorrow morning starting at 8am on WEVL 89.9FM. Each Radio Bonnaroo program showcases artists that you might see at the festival and gives you "rare live performances, commerically unavailable songs, interviews, b-sides and remixes". Below are the artists that will be on the show:

Death Cab For Cutie
The North Mississippi Allstars (w/Lucinda Williams)
New Pornographers
Ben Folds
Calexico w/Sam Beam of Iron and Wine
Ani DiFranco w/Erin McKeown
Susan Tedeschi, Karl Denson w/Col. Bruce Hampton's Codetalkers
moe.
Leo Keottke and Mike Gordon
The Meters

(I atteneded the festival a few years back and got the chance to see Yo La Tengo, Grandaddy, My Morning Jacket, David Byrne, Calexico, Wilco, Patti Smith, etc. Good good times!)

Again, that's Thursday (9/1) 8-9am

Janet's Planet - Janet's Back

Due to Hurricane Katrina, Janet of Janet's Planet had to cut her vacation time in Florida short. So I won't be subbing for her show tomorrow as originally planned. But you do get Janet and she does a far better job than I ever could.

Tune in tomorrow morning from 6-8am for that indie rock!

Some Suggestions For Our New Listeners - Part 2

Here are 5 more shows our new webcasting folks should check out...

6) It's Always Something (Friday Noon-2pm) - This is the show that got me excited about the station nearly 15 years ago. And well, the format hasn't changed at all. Basically a potpourri of musical oddities. Each show still has me scratching my head wondering Where the heck did Brian find that song?

7) Cap'n Pete's Blues Cruise (Friday 9-Midnight) - The best part of this program isn't the music (though it's excellent, of course) but when our host Mr. Dee Henderson comes on the mic and shares with us his own personal stories about the artists. A true legend at work!

8) Psychedelicatessen (Sunday 6-8pm) - Randy (of Randy and the Radiants no less!) takes us back to the 60's each week for some classic rock favorites as well as those left of the dial should've been hits. One listen to Randy's laugh and you'll understand why he's one of the most charismatic folks on WEVL. This show would be the most fun to sub! (hint hint)

9) The Tuesday Morning Show (Tuesday 6-8am) - While I am fond of all the early morning programs, I am hardly up at that hour. However, it seems to work out that if I am moving around before 8am it's usually on a Tuesday. With a variety of hosts (Janet of Janet's Planet Wednesday 6-8am), Darryl of The Modern World Friday 6-8am, and now Melissa) this show serves up a healthy dose of old and new indie rock. But don't be surprised to hear something a bit out of the ordinary thrown into the mix like last week when Melissa followed up The Pixies "Letter to Memphis" with Stevie Wonder's "You Are the Sunshine of My Life."

10) Singing Down In Dixie (Sunday 6-10am) - There is no better way to start a Sunday morning than with the voice of Charlie May introducing one gospel quartet after another. I'm not sure how long Mr. May has been providing this service, but I do know it will be a dark day when he decides to retire the show. One of my all time favorites!

Well, there you go! I hope our new listeners have gotten a few ideas. And remember, you really can't go wrong with any show on WEVL. Enjoy Radio Diversity!
