2012-02-03 Music from a Global Cafe

This week, music from the Spin The Globe Cafe, a small cozy bistro that exists only in my mind. But the sounds from its eclectic live stage exist in the real world, as captured in this two-hour radio show archive. Enjoy!

2012-01-27: Polyrhythmics live at KAOS

What a way to round out the month… the Polyrhythmics joined me live in the KAOS performance studio for a rousing set of funky global music, including songs from their recent album Labrador and some unrecorded tracks. You may think of global funk as an evening sound, but they proved it works for the morning hours too. Special thanks to Daniel for manning the mixer and making it all sound great!

2012-01-20 Snowed Out

Here’s your belated confirmation that there was no show this week. The snow and ice storm was quick and messy, knocking down a lot of tree limbs which in turned knocked out a lot of electricity, including that which supplies the KAOS transmitter. The station was fine, and could have broadcast using our fanch-schmancy generator. But without the transmitter up and running, all that great radio would have just sat in a sad little pile with no way for us to disperse it to your ears. The plan is for a generator at the transmitter site as well, but for now be assured that most electricity has been restored in Thurston (no, not Thurston Howell III) County, and all will soon be back to normal.

If by normal, you mean what we do at KAOS. Such as this Friday’s live in-studio Spin The Globe performance by The Polyrhythmics.

Thanks for bearing with us, and here’s hoping your home is warm and bright…

Scott

 

2012-01-13 Music of the Kora (West African Harp)

Prompted by a new CD release and a local concert tomorrow, we explored the many sounds of the West African kora today — a harp that’s been used in classical Jali (griot) music as well as in global fusions with other instruments. In the second hour of the show, new releases and concert previews. And congrats to the listeners who won tickets to see Erev Rav and Vagabond Opera — I’ll see you at the show.

A bit different format as we experiment with some new software, but don’t worry — the playlist will always be available here. And this one was particularly fun, as we threw out any pretense of a show theme and just went for straight-up energy and dance-ability. I hope you have as much fun listening as I did DJ-ing — you won’t find a better New Year’s Eve Eve Morn dance party anywhere.

Happy new year!

2011-12-16 Klezmer + interview with Frank London of the Klezmatics

With this show, Spin The Globe shisn tsvey hozn mit eyn shos (killed two birds with one stone), gettingFrank London of the Klezmatics an advance jump on Hanukkah (Dec. 20-28), and previewing the upcoming visit of the Klezmatics with an interview with founding member Frank London. London was a blast to talk with, going from intellectual to silly, all with unbridled verve (and he says Joshua Nelson is a bundle of energy!). I think you’ll enjoy the interview, the klezmer music, and the new releases tucked into the end of the show.
