As mentioned in a previous post, KDVS 90.3 FM in Davis, is currently in the throws of its annual on-air fundraiser. Help us reach our station goal of $60,000 by pledging your $$$$s. The Loves + Disloves show goal this year is $600. Help me reach this goal by pledging either via phone or online between 10pm - 11pm PST, Thursday, April 22nd.
I have made a bunch of scarfs that will be available specifically during my timeslot as a choice of gift for those who show some love and support - you can check them out at my fundraiser show page (link above).
You can also pledge outside of the 10-11pm thursday hour using the link above. Unfortunately I will not be activating my specialty premiums before then, so if you pledge early and are interested in one, let me know and I will get it added to your account! There are also plenty of other awesome gifts for the choosing ranging from T-shirts, music packages, gift certifcates, and even studio time to get your band recorded! You can check everything out prior to pledging at Fundraiser.kdvs.org.
Thanks ahead of time for supporting community non-commercial radio!

KYDS 91.5FM, the El Camino High School student radio station has recently been hit with a fine for late license renewal. You can read more details at SacBee.com.
Face it, the FCC is confusing in and of itself - easily proved by simply trying to find anything in their portion of the Federal Code of Regulations. The fact that they were fined for this, even after attempting to contact the FCC for assistance, is complete nonsense. KYDS' annual Audiothon fundraiser is scheduled to kick off Friday April 9th at 3pm (TODAY!), ending Sunday April 11th at Noon. This station needs all of the support they can get! More information can be found at SanJuan.edu or by calling 916-971-7453.
**Todd Clark -Another Climate- Into the Vision LP TMI Records (1984)

**The Swallowed City -Paralysis- Desperately Seeking Suicide LP Compilation Priapismus Records (1987)
**Big Star -Kangaroo- 3rd LP PVC Records (1978)
This past summer I spent time in Memphis, TN where I took in the Stax’s Museum. I was surprised there to find out that Big Star’s first couple of albums came out on the Stax label which primarily featured soul and funk. This particular album was a shelved for a few years before release under various titles (3rd/Sister Lovers, Sister Lovers, Beale Street Green, 3rd, etc.). The guitar piece on this song I find particularly interesting. This song was covered by This Mortal Coil on their It’ll End In Tears LP.

**Euroscheque -Roboterliebe- Die Runde Sache LP Kernkrach Records (2005)
I first heard about the program "Alchemists of Sound" back in 2006. Having a severe obsession at that time with Delia Derbyshire, I attempted to procure a copy of the broadcast; though my inquiries to the BBC went unanswered. Luckly some kind person has recently made this available for public viewing.
This program documents the story of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop which created sound effects and TV/Radio themes for BBC starting in 1958; most famous for composing the Dr. Who theme. At least two workshop members also participated with David Vorhaus on the WHITE NOISE album. This program was originally broadcast back in 2003 on BBC Four.
