The day ahead on WGXC 90.7-FM
1 a.m.: Vital Weekly: Chihei Hatakeyama Episode 968 of weekly experimental new music show, by folks formerly behind Staalplaat. Click on title for playlist 968.
2 a.m.: FFFoxy Podcast: Jackie McDowell On this episode #52 of the FFFoxy Podcast, we dug into a stack of incredible new tapes that arrived in the past few weeks and months. We’ve been giving these latest tapes from Excess, Ekin Fil, Hound Dog Taylor’s Hand, and Jackie McDowell some heavy boombox play around the FFF bunker, and the just-arrived works from Three Legged Race and Thomas DeAngelo are sure to occupy some prime deck time over the coming weeks, too. We’ve also been plunging into the two and half hours worth of primo heavy psych from Burnt Hills and their latest release Slip Through Time on Tape Drift. This is a great introduction for anyone interested in checking out what this long-running upstate NY group as been up to. We also plucked out a few older works from James Rushford & Joe Talia, Bob Drake, and Small Cruel Party that all still sound as fresh as ever to these ears. There’s plenty more, of course, but we’ll let you check ‘em out on your own. Hope you enjoy this episode (despite the overuse of “kind of” as brain dead, Sunday morning verbal filler).
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.
7 a.m.: WGXC Morning Show Local news, weather, events, music and more. Live from the WGXC Hudson studio. Hosted by Michelle Lewis.
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.
9 a.m.: WGXC Morning Show continues.
10 a.m.: The Right Opinion: William H. Hallenbeck Jr. Hudson Mayor William H. Hallenbeck, Jr. will be in the studio to discuss local law enforcement, economic development and local politics. Hosted by Ed Fertik, with Columbia County Clerk Holly Tanner.
12 p.m. (noon): The Bedazzled Radio Hour: Gene Vincent The show features two hours of the music of Vincent Eugene Craddock, known as Gene Vincent, in honor of his birth (February 11, 1935 – October 12, 1971) - everything from "Accentuate The Positive" to "You Told A Fib" in alphabetical order. He was an American musician who pioneered the styles of Rock n’ Roll and Rockabilly. His 1956 top ten hit with his Blue Caps, "Be-Bop-A-Lula", is considered a significant early example of Rockabilly. He is a member of both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. Hosted by Spike Priggen.
4 p.m.: WGXC Afternoon Show Live from the WGXC Hudson studio. Hosted by Kieran Riley.
