128k, 2 hours, a devotion to the Velvet Underground
"Modern music begins with the Velvets, and the implications and influence of what they did seem to go on forever." - Lester Bangs, 1971
A survey and history of the Velvet Underground, chronologically arranged. Not really designed for beginners, this is a listen into the darkness AND the light.
Setlist (all performances by the Velvet Underground):
1966: Venus in Furs_Cracking Up (Lou is reciting the lyrics while Sterling and John play) / The Evolution of a Riff: There She Goes Again (rehearsal with the trio and with Nico) / I'll Keep It with Mine (rehearsal with Nico) / Playing at the Dom and Recording / European Son (rehearsal) / Heroin (Scepter studio version) / I'm Waiting for the Man (Scepter studio version) / I'll Be Your Mirror (Scepter studio alternate mix)
1967: I Heard Her Call My Name (alternate mix)
1968: Beginning to See the Light (alternate mix)

1970: Sweet Jane (original studio version) / Train Round the Bend_Oh! Sweet Nuthin (Second Fret Club in Philadelphia May 1970) / Oh! Sweet Nuthin (from Loaded)
Loaded sold even fewer copies than the first three albums, by the way.

With thanks to Richie Unterberger, Mr Wilkinson, Clinton Heylin, my live listeners, killradio.org, wfmu.org, and radio4all.net. Comments welcome, please! If you know of any other Velvets tapes out there, tell me about them.

So Many Reasons Why
The Chill Room, 14 October 2011 at 11pm PST on killradio.org
128k, 100 minutes, the life and music of Phil Ochs
In these days of the Occupy Movement, when the people have been aroused to take back the world from monied interests, I think it's time to give a listen to one of this country's great symbols of protest, Phil Ochs.
A Phil fan since the 1960s, I had only seen a few seconds of film of Phil performing -- until Kenneth Bowser's documentary on Phil called There But For Fortune revealed there are hours of films and audio of Phil not known. Taking excerpts from the film and combining them with biographical information and a deep listen into Phil's amazing body of music, the inspirational story of this firebrand is compelling and sad, but necessary.
All performances unless otherwise noted by Phil Ochs. Audio excerpts from the film There But For Fortune by Kenneth Bowser (2010), including the voices of Phil Ochs, Michael Ochs, Sonia Ochs, Meegan Ochs, Billy Bragg, Larry Marks, Jerry Moss, Tom Hayden, Christopher Hitchens, Pete Seeger and others.
Set list: When I'm Gone / Draft Dodger Rag / Changes / Cross My Heart (single mix) / Outside of a Small Circle of Friends / Joe Hill / The War Is Over / Joan Baez-There But For Fortune / Love Me, I'm a Liberal / When In Rome / The World Began In Eden and Ended in Los Angeles (Vancouver BC, 13 March 1969) / Pleasures of the Harbor (Carnegie Hall, NYC, 27 March 1970) / Chords of Fame / Bwatue (Phil's last single, recorded in Kenya 1973 with the Pan African Ngembo Rumba Band, the title means "canoe") / The Death of Allende and the Friends of Chile Benefit 1974 (from There But For Fortune) / No More Songs
The music in this program comes from Phil Ochs' Elektra and A&M albums I Ain't Marchin' Anymore, Phil Ochs in Concert, Pleasures of the Harbor, Tape from California, Phil Ochs' Greatest Hits, and Gunfight at Carnegie Hall. "Bwatue" comes from a single. Rhino released the There and Now Live in Vancouver 1968 (sic) album. Biographical material used in the program comes from the McMan's Bipolar Web and the Google Biography Site (some material read directly from these sites).
With special thanks to Michael Ochs, the film There But For Fortune, and my listeners.
The rebels they were here. They came beside the door. They told me that the moon was bleeding. Then all to my surprise, they took away my eyes, and it seems that there are no more songs

Culture Remixed 21 with Nasa/Adam Warlock
On Monday, October 3rd, I had producer and MC, Nasa aka Adam Warlock as my special guest from Staten Island, New York via skype. He spoke about running his own record label Uncommon Records since 2004 and the current challenges to independent hip hop in the current climate. Nasa also sent over some new music from the label showcasing its progressive hip hop sound. It is a really informative interview with lots of behind the scenes insights.

KR Weekly News 10 May 2011
The news show of science and reason!
What we have here is this week's Weekly News in Review from harpers.org (and the killradio news team).
This week as well as the latest news, I talk about how the misery of the world today is partially the result of birth pangs as we transition from a Type 0 civilization to a Type 1 civilization. Which means we have to get rid of the things that divide us.
And what divides us most?
Politics?
Religion?
Give it a listen, and think for yourself, no one should ever have to think for you.
If you listen to this news, consider sending me a comment by writing to chillroom@gmail.com.
The entire Bush Administration belongs in prison for their traitorous anti-Constitutional behavior.
is it time for a commercial yet?
