2021 YEAR-END REVIEWS: WEEKEND ON DEMAND (CRZ)

Don’t let anyone try to tell you otherwise, there is great music out there EVERY year.  At Weekend on Demand, we pride ourselves on playing the new new and in 2021 we logged spins on 651 different tracks that came out in 2020 or 2021 and placed them all on a “WOD 2021” Spotify playlist: (We’ve already started a 2022 version of this playlist – after one week, it has 13 tracks, so we’re right on schedule!) We also put together a 2½ hour block of 36 tracks from 2021 which was broadcast on FA2 and then saved to the KFAI Mixcloud: Our tastes tend towards indie, pop and/or goth and our most frequent intersections are with our fellow Saturday family shows “True Brit!” and “Temposphere” along with Tuesday’s “New Like Whatever.”  Check all of us out every week!

2021 YEAR-END REVIEWS: UPSIDE DOWN

With another complicated year in the books, we offer this look back at the year-in-music, Upside Down style. 2021 offered plenty of sounds to get lost in, and below you can explore some of our favorites. Most of these exist in some physical capacity, but a few exist solely in the digital realm. Presented here in alphabetical order, with new releases at the top and reissues/archival music afterwards. Tune in to Upside Down on Monday January 10 when we offer a look back at the year that was, with a sampling of most everything highlighted here (we may need to spill into January 17, TBD). Thanks for listening! New Music Lea Bertucci: A Visible Length of Light (Cibachrome Editions) Blue Chemise: Flower Studies (B.A.A.D.M.) Bons: Peri Bathous (Spillage Fete) Chateau: Chateau I (Hobbies Galore) Evan Cheadle: Fault Line Serenade (Victory Pool) Cindy: Standard Candle Demos (Paisley Shirt) Circuit des Yeux: -io (Matador) Read More › “2021 YEAR-END REVIEWS: UPSIDE DOWN”

We Thank You for the $49,000…and counting!

KFAI Volunteers and Listener Members, As we roll into International Jazz Conspiracy. the final program of our Fall Pledge Drive, KFAI has raised $49K over the past ten days! This could not have been accomplished without out the tireless fundraising around the clock from our volunteer hosts for listener support, and let’s not forget all of the value, love, and appreciation members have shown us over the past couple weeks. From hearing all the pitches and reasons why one should give, to witnessing all of the cool show-specific premiums that donors can receive, this Fall Drive has been an absolute demonstration of a community that shares and grows each other. We will continue to thank our listeners over the air for giving over the following week, and we will also remind our audience that they can still continue giving at www.kfai.org/donate We also have Give to the Max Day (GiveMN) coming up on Thursday, Nov. 18, and so there is plenty of time to show support in the next coming weeks. We got something fun(ky) planned, so stayed tuned!
