Roots

A very rootical show, with crucial classic dubs and some fresh new roots dub. From Finn the Giant, to Hotdrop, Dr. Dub, Mistah Majah-P, and Eyesight Project. From the Storytellers, to the Abyssinians, the Skatalites, Dub Is A Weapon, the Technician, and Lee Perry. And that’s just a start…

Roomful of Blues has a new record out this week—we heard from Raisin’ a Ruckus around 6:30am, to raise body temps for those of us who had to get up face the single digits for the first time in a while. Bob Mould’s new record, District Line, made its way to the station—it will hit stores in a couple weeks. Local Dans Israel and Wilson helped us get up this morning, too.

Today we heard from the Inuit of Eskimo Point,Canada (UMMUS), folk music from Nepal (World Music Library), Music of Greek Antiquity (FM Records), music from the Hungarian villages by the Turkos Ensemble (Folk Europa), music from the Bardic Divas, volume four of music of Central Asia (Smithsonian), Music from local Group Orange Mighty Trio (own label), music from Altan Guitarist, Daithi Sproule (New Fork Records) and music from Voices of the World (Chante du Monde).

During the second hour we had in studio guest, Victor Mandan.
