sounds for the people of the Bay area to hear. Sounds you might not hear

techno, some industrial, some noise and some odd sounds/samples. But in
between there's been a full slice of music presented, including the areas of
Blues, Reggae, World music, Jazz, a spattering of Hip-Hop and even a country
song or 2.

Kellers Cellar (stream) (download) (podcast)
WNCW - Spindale, One hour weekly
Keller Williams is doing a radio show. My music collection grows almost
daily. It's to the point where my cd's are all over the floor and in danger of
being stepped on. So, I decided to do an hour long narrated mixed tape of my
favorite stuff before it gets stepped on. The show is going to be called
Keller's Cellar Somewhat Ruleless Radio. It was originally going to be
called just "Ruleless Radio" but fortunately, a new radio station in
North Carolina invited me to fill an hour on Saturday nights. So,
obviously the FCC makes it Somewhat Ruleless. Each week will be a different
theme song, and I will play all kinds of music but none of which you normally hear on the radio.
Kipuka Leo (stream) (download) (podcast)
KTUH - Honolulu, Three hours weekly
A kipuka is a calm, generative entity whose character is distinctly other than the space surrounding it - the clearing in a forest, the calm in a high sea, the opening in a cloud formation, and most famously the pockets of new green growth and surviving forest that slowly revegetate Hawaiian lava beds. This kipuka is one of leo, of voice. As an all-Hawaiian music and language program, it returns the native langauge of Hawaii to the ears of its people, at least for three hours each week. And we play some of the best old-style Hawaiian jams ever heard. E komo mai i ke Kipuka Leo!
