LouieB Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 My December 27, 2016 show (12-2 PM Central time on www.wnur.org or Tunein) will be a slapdash affair with cuts from recently acquired records of different sorts including brand new material, older material, and various odds and ends. I've been too busy to put together a cogent show, but it should be interesting none the less. New material from Thrill Jockey label, new Leonard Cohen and plenty of old country, soul, jazz, and folk. Just tune in and find out what I end up with. Edit - Also a special segment on the late Alphonse Mouzon who died December 26. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 The world lost many famous musical figures this year, but lost in shuffle are the classical composers and performers who graced concert stages. So on Classical and Beyond this Saturday December 31, 2016 we will be featuring works or performances by some of these figures including Pierre Boulez. Tune in at 1-4 PM on wnur.org for our take on the losses from 2016. This is actually much more interesting than you may think. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Sorry if you tuned in to the Classical show, but we were preempted by Women's Basketball. BUT January 3 at 12-2 central time (www.wnur.org or 89.3 or TuneIn) I am going to joined by Chicago rocker Alex White (White Mystery and Ms Alex White and the Red Orchestra) to spin 45s. We will be playing old rock, soul, pop, and garage rock for two straight hours. Should be a really fun time with friendly banter and lost of talk about the rock life style. Don't miss this one.

LouieB Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 February 4 at 1-4 PM central time my cohost John and I are playing two hours of music from John Zorn's Book of Angels book 2 on Classical and Beyond.

LouieB Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 If you missed my last show on Tuesday, you missed a good one (I'm pretty self critical.)

LouieB Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 I'm doing a Classical and Beyond slot today March 4 at 1-4 PM Central time wnur.org.

LouieB Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Early warning on what should be an interesting show featuring the work of Julius Eastman. I did not know much about this composer/performer until recently, but Eastman was an African American who never had any of his own work released during his lifetime, but has had a three CD and single CD released in the past 10 years. He died in his forties and was a minimalist, although not in the same sense as Glass and Reich. His compositions have a particular political bent as well; with references to both his race and his sexual orientation. The show is this Saturday March 11 from 1-4 PM CT on wnur.org or Tunein or 89.3 if you are in Chicago. Another early warning, I am also on two times next week. Tuesday from 12-2 PM for the Midday Mixtape Show will be an all female artist show for Women's History Month and then I will be doing a similar show on Thursday at 10-12 PM with Rosie (formerly Tweedysgurl) on her show, the Devil's Radio on wdbx.org out of Carbondale. More on that later. (And I did a jazz show earlier this week, which I did not post here. Busy week.) LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be doing women in blues, jazz, country, and other stuff with my daughter Rosie (remember her) on wdbx.com on WDBX out of Carbondale on Thursday night at 10-12 PM. Rosie and I always have fun. Tune in for father daughter repartee. Haven't done a show in awhile. Seriously, check us out, even if you are sick of me. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
