Heads on Sticks

David Mueller came in to talk about his new solo album from Heads on Sticks titled Mocking Bird. In this project David takes on the role of a mad scientist as he mixes and matches various sound effects on a whim that ends with a remarkably unique and sonically satisfying album, even taking clips from an actual mockingbird from his iPhone, which he calls a true “organic sampler.” David and I compared his newest music to his last three EPs ( you can download for free on his BandCamp page and

2010/07/11

In the first hour of the show, I welcomed in Raleigh group Kid Future who made some news when they played at Local Beer Local Band back in April. It was their second show ever, but they made quite the impression on the crowd, and I welcomed them onto the show to learn more about the group and introduce them to those who have not seen them live.

Below is their “Hard Ambience: A Manifesto” which describes the band’s SOP:“1) Subvert the past - past performances should not impose on the present (ie.

DON’T PLAN)4) Feel it - play from the heart, or don’t play at all (ie. DON’T THINK)5) Space is the place - silence is a contribution (ie. DON’T

Local favorites Bombadil stopped by for the last hour of the show to debut some brand new material and play live for the first time in a year.

However, the band is putting out a brand new album titled Good Timing, which the group has been working on for the better part of the last two years.

A Benefit to Battle Multiple Sclerosis

WKNC Interviews ·

2010/06/16

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease in which your body’s immune system eats away at the protective sheath that covers your nerves. This then interferes with your brain’s communication with the rest of the body. Ultimately MS can destroy the nerves themselves, which is irreversible. Symptoms of the disease vary widely, ranging from numbness or tingling in parts of your body to loss of vision, double vision, and even dizziness. People with severe cases may even lose the ability to walk or speak

James Ethan Clark

WKNC Interviews ·

2010/05/27

Recently, the very talented James Ethan Clark was on the radio show for a little Q&A session AND a live performance! Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to say that the man tore it up on the microphone. The song “Anna Mae” was a soulful, impassioned, flurry of emotion complete with solid vocals and steady guitar riffs. "Forbidden Fruit" weaves a tale of unattainable yet irresistible love accompanied with a harmonica solo or two. However, that’s just one humble deejay’s opinion, as the
