The day ahead on WGXC 90.7-FM
1 a.m.: The Cutty Strange: Christina Stanley A monthly radio hour that showcases San Francisco Bay Area experimental artists and musicians. Produced by Daniel Steffey and Nick Wang. This month's episode feeatures violinist, singer, composer, and artist; Christina Stanley
2 a.m.: Selected Songs: Tod Dockstader From Wikipedia: "Tod Dockstader (March 20, 1932 – February 27, 2015) was an American composer of electronic music, and particularly musique concrète. He studied painting and film while at the University of Minnesota, before moving to Hollywood in 1955, to become an apprentice film editor. He moved into work as a sound engineer in 1958, and apprenticed at Gotham Recording Studios, where he first started composing. Dockstader's first record, Eight Electronic Pieces, was released in 1960, and was later used as the soundtrack to Federico Fellini's Satyricon (1969). He continued to create music throughout the first half of that decade, working principally with tape manipulation effects. In 1966 Owl Records released four albums of his work from this period including what many consider to be Dockstader's masterpiece, Quatermass."
4 a.m.: Bob's Slacktime: Leonard Nimoy Tonight's episode is one of Doktor Phineas Narco's usual crowning achievements of selection, editing, and soundweaving, focused on the theme of "Star Trek"--and fortunately there was some space to spare so I used this extra room to add bumpers fore and aft of Leonard Nimoy's musical side. Instead of the expected "Highly Illogical" and that damned Bilbo Baggins song, I chose a couple of things that you haven't heard as often that highlight the Leonard Nimoy whom we knew and loved and respected.
6 a.m.: Background Briefing with Ian Masters Inside breaking international and national news. A radio program featuring international and national news, expert guests, policy makers and critics with analysis and insight on national security, foreign and domestic policy, political, cultural and social issues. This program goes far beyond the headlines and deep under the radar to bring forward truths unheard in the American media.

8 a.m.: Democracy Now! hosted by Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez. National, daily, independent, award-winning news program providing audiences with access to people and perspectives rarely heard in the U.S. corporate-sponsored media.

This week: "When scientific advances allow even the smallest of nations to threaten major countries; science itself must come to the rescue. Yet even science is confounded by the cleverness of the human mind. Edited by Jay Charles. Made with a grant from the Corporation For Public Broadcasting. From Pacifica Radio.
