---- NEWS It's been pointed out to me that links to the show's most recent audio archives, located in the Playlists section of the web site, were broken. Thanks to the person who alerted me to the problem, the links have now been repaired. Check out the show tomorrow, if you can. It's going to be a bit...different. COVER SHOW Several shows from KCPR (mainly punk- and metal-related) have decided to play all cover tunes on their shows this week. Word soon spread, and then an open email was sent to all of the jocks at the station asking to join in solidarity. Thus, Covers Week at KCPR was born. Now, I'm accepting the challenge. And so it was that my curiosity have gotten the better of me. I went home, and raided my music collection (only half of it is there...the other half is in storage at my mother's place in Las Vegas for about 4 years). I've started uncovering quite a few CDs and vinyls that I haven't listened to in years. The musical salvaging operation surely brought back memories with each song. I wasn't able to find everything that I've wanted...there were some choice covers that I thought were wonderful, but somehow I've lost the discs. In any event, we're going to see how all this goes, because tomorrow night on the show will be a three-hour covers show (lame-assed name for a show, but there you go). Some are warm, some are quirky, some are downright...interesting. I hope you'll have as much fun listening as it will be for me to share. PROGRAMMING CHANGES Because of the last-minute addition of the covers show, the programming schedule has been pushed back by about a week. Next week, expect the regular Urban Landscapes deal with a lot of new music...and I mean lots! I'll try to squeeze in some recent favorites, but if it's all new music then don't be too surprised. The quality is just exceptional, so I look forward to sharing it all with you on Friday March 14. Some of the music will be reviewed this weekend for the next circular. (More details on that below.) Dates for the Winter Quarter Rewind shows have now changed. Part 1, the albums, will be on Friday March 21. Part 2, the singles/EPs, will be on Friday March 28. The special European trip broadcast will now air on Friday April 4. Regular programming will resume on Friday April 11. Details on some additions are forthcoming. NEW CIRCULAR BY EARLY NEXT WEEK Be on the lookout for the next circular, which should make your inboxes by early next week. The covers show (*cough*) should be posted for listening, and you'll get to view the playlist for it as well. New reviews should be attached, and (finally!!) the next installment of my European trip stories. More news on the horizon regarding trip pictures & stories, and news of my very first DJ gig with other fellow DJs that will happen in mid-April here in San Luis Obispo. I hope you're able to tune in this week, on-air or online! ---- Urban Landscapes proudly supports quality independent music from around the world.
