Instead of acting like a bunch of gangsters waiting for a visit from the razortooth fairy, please welcome the return of The Unwrinkled Ear back on the radiowaves this evening.

The show will be broadcast beginning at 21:00 PST on Thursday www.killradio.org

I'd like some 1920s musical saw duets with Hawaiian guitar so we'll have Sam Moore and Leroy Smeck dole out a couple

There's a quartet of Hawkins Lash May and Ward called Barkingside on the consistently compelling Emanem label that speaks Basenjis to all available

Thanks to the Bandit label, Altyrone Deno Brown's "Sweet Pea" session can come to yet another bloom tonite

Can I get a chorus of "Hair Y'all!"?

Birthday/ music

johnyradio@gmail.com (killradio.org) — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 11:12:00 -0800

After another brief hiatus

on www.killradio.org

We'll hear:

Steamboat Switzerland

Hardedge

and fun vocal stuff to suit the mood

of post-birthday aggling

And be forewarned that next year

when I turn 33

I'll be celebrating 33 and 1/3 only

so the party will be around June 20

Unwrinkled Ear Back

johnyradio@gmail.com (killradio.org) — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 11:12:00 -0800

There are many open positions for barbacks being advertised in newspaper employment listings all over the world.

But we will have ear backs tonite.

From 21:00-22:30 PST on www.killradio.org, Thursday

I really loved the Furt record from last year, so we'll furt that.

I have also been enjoying Kaori Osawa's new solo disc "Aluminum," so aluminum.

And Tatsuya's duos with Uchihashi - thanks Kenny! - need to be spread out.

Henri Chopin died in the interim between our last show and tonite's, and he deserves a tribute.

Don't forget about our archives at www.radio4all.net

It's a radio show for people who find movies too slow

tune out the angels and tune into the world

johnyradio@gmail.com (killradio.org) — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 09:39:00 -0800

The Unwrinkled Ear has two announcements.

The first, easiest:

Tonite from 21:00-22:30 California Time, Thursday on www.killradio.org

we will do a special on Paal Nilssen-Love's new label, PNL records.

They've released a duo by Paal with Lasse Marhaug and another of Paal with organist Nils Henrik Asheim.

And we'll also do a big feature on composer, violist and bassist Szilárd MEZEI.

We'll taste solo, duo, trio, quintet stuff all the way up to ten piece ensemble work from this incredible Hungarian/ Serbian/ Yugoslavian musician.

The second announcement, much harder:

the Jazzgalerie in Nickesldorf, Austria is under attack by the Austrian government.

More details in the two attachements.

The Unwrinkeld Ear would not exist were it not for the incredible work of this concert venue over the last 30 years. As I understand it, the government is accusing Hans of running his establishment - which has championed improvised music and musicians from all over the world - solely for his own personal enrichment, thus charging him for years of back taxes. Obviously, if his venue can deeply affect the life of a boy from South Carolina, his work in the Austrian countryside is not just about himself.

If you have an interest in supporting the music you hear on The Unwrinkled Ear, please take the time to write an email to the email addresses provided in the attachment, and consider helping any other way you can.

Over 3,000 2nd rate graduate students thought of Jim Morrison's "weird scenes inside the gold mine" when they first learned of Plato's cave.

They all have jobs working for NPR now.

I do a show on www.killradio.org from 21:00-22:30 PST on Thursdays.

johnyradio@gmail.com (killradio.org) — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 11:47:00 -0700

If mosquitos have lately been singing their good luck into your skin, i've got something for that...a little bad smile.

The Unwrinkeld ear radio program will feature an alphamaiden guest in the studio tonite, and we'll play music by:

Eddie Gale

the Eple Trio,

and I'd like to play the song "Lame Cafe" by The Unawares for your human pleasure.

The show will be broadcast live on the internet at www.killradio.org from 21:00-22:30 Pacific Coast time, and then a couple days later it will be archived on www.radio4all.net

As one of last week's listeners called up and asked me:

"What the fuck wormhole did you get snorted inside?"

johnyradio@gmail.com (killradio.org) — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 08:20:00 -0700

While compartmentalization seems to be the order of
the day as far as surviving modern life is concerned,
the artistry of Mike Cooper makes a case for
deslotting such harsh zoning.

With formidable creativity, this guitarist pursues
field recordings, improvisation, electronics, country
and Hawaiian music.

We're going to hear a bunch of it on
www.killradio.org from 21:00-22:30 PST Thursday

We're also going to bathe in the windy grit of
saxophonist Martin Kuchen's new solo record on Sillon
and the new Potlatch sax
quartet "Propagations" featuring Marc Baron/ Bertrand
Denzler/ Jean-Luc Guionnet and Stephane Rives.

If you can figure out how to photograph an active
throat tickle (cough itch), email us back and you can
win/ absorb a free download.

Haden in the studio

johnyradio@gmail.com (killradio.org) — Thu, 4 Oct 2007 09:37:00 -0700

The Unwrinkled Ear returns tonite with bassist Josh Haden live in the studio.

He'll play a bit, talk about the revival of his band Spain, spin some records and unwrinkle all the while.

We've been away working on other things for three weeks, so please put your ribs back on the heat and tune in to www.killradio.org from 9:00-10:30 PST Thursday

I can already smell the lumps.

johnyradio@gmail.com (killradio.org) — Thu, 6 Sep 2007 12:23:00 -0700

It wouldn't be offensive if it wasn't so hidden, that need to have more sound inside.

Relief comes in the form of guests tonite on The Unwrinkled Ear.

We'll have a live performance of a duo on ukulele, gameboy and voices:
Casey James and The Staypuft Kid www.cjspk.com

This will be braodcast on the internet at www.killradio.org from 21:00-22:30 PST Thursday

A recent piece of writing about the Konfrontationen festival in Nickelsdorf is online now, and written by me: http://www.facsimilemagazine.com/2007/09/index.html

It will be like the melting of some sweet reward in the mouth,

then we'll be off the air for two weeks, and back on Sept. 27th,

faith without reason.

Max Roach

johnyradio@gmail.com (killradio.org) — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 08:27:00 -0700

The Unwrinkled Ear's show this week will feature one CD by Max Roach.

Tune in as I pay tribute to the incredible work of Max Roach tonite on www.killradio.org

Thursday from 21:00-22:30 California time

Rest in Peace and Rhythm Mr. Roach

Crocodiles remember all the konfrontationens

The Unwrinkled Ear is keeping that fish in the birdcage

Last week we were semi-bad boys. We said we were going to play only Yugoslovenian music from one record store, and we played some Italian stuff too. And even some Brazilian hip-hop at one point.

But the thing that mattered was that we did limit ourselves to music that we found in Ljubjana.

And Italy's a neighbor anyway.

The thing is, this week's episode of The Unwrinkled Ear will exclusively feature non-yugoslovenian music and non-konfrontationen related musics that were found in Austria and Slovenia.

This music will be broadcast from 21:00-23:00 Thursday night Hollywood time on www.killradio.org

We're going to hear radio work (more like spiele) from Ferdinand Kriwet

Dudu Pukwana in a Johnny Dyani Quartet

OKWESS International featuring saratong inventor Roger Lendu

Mediteranean Honky Tonk from Carlo Actis Dato's 2002 band

"Fresh Troops" indeed sounds pasteurized,

but we still need cooks to feed them and clerks to count them and

The Unwrinkled Ear to make radio to them from 21:00 - 22:30 on www.killradio.org

Jessica Rylan will be performing in town next Thursday so The Unwrinkled Ear will be stretching out over there and won't be doing the www.killradio.org action.

But, in preparation, we'll hear some Vampire Can't tonite from 21:00-22:30 PST Thursday.

And since the new Shellac record might contain their best vocals ever on "Spoke," of course.

Call up your ex-babysitter and make her current. The night was built on this kind of radio.

a bounce of the ITALIAN INSTABILE ORCHESTRA

we'll riff all around and for sure slide several cuts off the new discs across
