Music Director Notes 5-15-12

"Greetings from the Interior"

...no, don't ask...

Well, for those of you who don't already know, I am to be married this weekend and will be going on my honeymoon the following week, so y'all will have to live without my most enlightening posts until after Memorial Day.

Yeah, I know, sad, huh?  In the meantime:

MISSING CDs:

Does anyone happen to know the whereabouts of the following CDs?

  • Xavier Quijas Yxayotl (2 CDs)
  • Mary Youngblood (2CDs)  


SPINITRON:  GREAT JOB, FOLKS!

Spinitron is looking great!  There's only one DJ who is still filling out the tracking/library number in the Song Note field incorrectly, and almost everybody is now submitting their playlists online, ON TIME!  Way to go!

***Note: If you submit your playlist in Spinitron, you do not--repeat, DO NOT--have to submit a paper playlist! Save yourself some time and headaches...and save KRZA some paper!***


NEW RELEASES:

World: Ablaye Cissoko and Volker Goetze's CD "Amante Dionti" features trumpet and African Kora--beautiful, delicate, and haunting.  Very tasty, nice way to wind down a show.

Eclectic: Damon Albarn's "Dr. Dee" takes an interesting journey through Medieval folk experiments with definite Classical notes.  I liked the more folk-y tracks better, myself, but form your own opinions on this one.

Jazz:  The Rich Thompson Trio is my favorite pick of this week's adds for tight ensemble playing, keeping the music moving, and just overall awesomeness.

Bluegrass: New Town holds it down nicely; definitely worth an ear.

Thanks, all, and we'll see you on the 28th!
