NPR for me: WDAV 89.9 classical out of Davidson and WNCW 88.7 out of Spindale Americana +

When WNCW began broadcasting in the 80s? I could barely get it up on my Madison county land. Meteorology definitely had something to do with it. The Asheville and other locals were, let's say not worth tuning into. Occasionally ger a Johnson City station. Butt NCW finally was a radio station worth listening to; bettrer than anything in the Triangle. Over the years reception improved. My god what a great mix of music. I"ll stream it at home on occasion. I'm an annual donor still. Hopefully they can stay funded.

Indeed. WNCW is my jam. An eclectic mix of Americana, Jazz, Blues, RnR, Bluegrass,Funk, R&B, Folk, Celtic, a little Reggae, old school this and that... BUT also features new/newer music and artists. Folks on this thread crying for something "not old", they can find plenty of "new tunes" on WNCW. They have antennae boosters all around - so 88.7FM is not the only station on your dial. Plus they stream all over the world. They always pay homage to whomever is having a birthday (living or otherwise) on any given day. They'll celebrate Earl Scruggs and Thelonius Monk and everyone in between.
 
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb

This music and video, both, give an emotional sense for my mental state about America right now.

That’s some wild shit right there. Kinda sorta like what we have going on here in America right now. Some wild shit. Gotta be keyboard, electronic and computer generated music track? No?

Anyway - who is it here that is hoping for new Car Seat Headrest? New album soon - new song is great. Looks like he is getting back into long form songwriting.

I was one, and yes sounds great. Looking forward to it. I liked MADLO a lot but that guy can write an epic.

Two of my favourites mashed together Take Five Brubeck in Black and white video with Golden Brown by The Stranglers over-laid on sound track. Both tunes have interesting time signatures 5/4 and 6/8 with one measure of 7/8 thrown in on the B part

Really nice. My dad loved Brubek and I can still hear him say you needed to follow the beat to appreciate Take 5.

The very first jazz album I bought as a 16 yo kid was "Time Out" I wore that record out
and the album cover is the coolest:cool:

I had the privilege of seeing Brubek and his sons play at Memorial Hall many years ago.
