Back by popular demand “Classical Discoveries goes Avant-Garde” returns to our Fall 2009 schedule! “Classical Discoveries Goes Avant-Garde” will air Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. ET beginning Wednesday, 9/30.

Devoted listeners of the program were unhappy when it didn’t return in our Fall lineup. You called, emailed, tweeted, and blogged – and we listened! Classical Director Tiffany Lu remarks:

“Please thank your listeners for me and for the whole of WPRB management, for letting us know what they think and for showing support for the programming they love. It’s well-deserved!”

Where else but on a station as unique as WPRB can the listeners make a difference? Please remember that if you like WPRB, we are currently conducting a Listener Survey — share your comments! It’s only when we hear from you that we know how we’re doing!

Fronted by Haley Fohr, Indiana’s Circuit Des Yeux are currently on tour in support of their new album, Symphone, which Volcanic Tongue’s David Keenan calls “a bunch of beautifully fractured tracks.” The album comes from “the same void that birthed Jandek, Jim Shepard, Adris Hoyos et al albeit cut with some almost Diadal-styled avant confusion.” Keenan goes on to write: “Imagine a solo songs LP by Jandek’s Nancy or Lisa Suckdog sung straight to cassette (w/ guitar / piano / keyboards / tape hiss accompaniment) and ‘produced’ by Majora’s ‘in-house’ team and you have the perfect recipe for a classically confusing late-night spin in the tradition of alla the best nada-info American privates.”

Sunday at 12:00 pm EST, join producer Sophie Jin for an interview with Jon Greenwald, Vice President of the International Crisis Group and former director of the U.S. Department of State Office of Counter-Terrorism. Greenwald discusses the state of American involvement in the Middle East and how the Obama administration is shaping perspectives on America worldwide.

Then, at 12:30 pm EST, Nikki Leon and Alfred Miller take a look at a new technology, called “nanoimprint lithography,” developed by Princeton University scientist Stephen Chou. Nanoimprint lithography allows scientists to build structures on the tiniest scale—including ever-smaller microchips and special molds used in DNA sequencing. Miller speaks with Chou about his discoveries.

If you miss the broadcast or want to hear it a second time, come back here to listen to both episodes.

Should be an evening to remember, so don’t forget to tune in!

On Wednesday 4/1 at 5PM ET, WPRB’s Rhythm of the One program pays tribute to the late Eddie Bo. Bo, a sorely under-appreciated veteran of the New Orleans R&B scene, passed away March 18th at the age of 78.

Eddie Bo was a veteran singer, songwriter, producer and pianist on the New Orleans R&B scene. Bo evolved into one of the city’s foremost funk players during the late 1960s and early 1970s, although he never had a national hit commensurate with his musical standing.

On this program, DJ Matt will feature music from Bo’s career, not to mention other obscure New Orleans funk musicians (Chuck Carbo, Wardell Quezergue and The Gaturs), and some more well-known N.O. funk bands.
