Tonight’s show was fraught with portent, involving a keyboard with no speaker in a room with only microphones.
Thankfully, Libbie brought some cables, Todd brought an amp, and the show felt like a show. Libbie was great - a true professional, and I really loved her song “War On Science”.
Here’s how the hour went down:

Tonight’s show was much fun. Deb was very engaging and played some lovely songs (and sang accompaniment parts, too). Thanks to Todd for co-hosting. The night was a great way to welcome back the show after its shaky existence.

Lori McKenna - Pour - Bittertown (Signature Sounds)

It’s not quite a done deal, but the word around these parts is that KPSU and Portland Public Schools have come to some sort of an agreement. We will be on the air for at least the next six months.
I’m so glad. I have guests booked almost every Sunday from now until December.

Joanna Newsom - The Book Of Right On (from the album “The Milk-Eyed Mender”)
Robyn Hitchcock - Mamie Dunn/Good Times Rock N Roll (from […]
It causes me pain that in KPSU’s darkest (and yet most publicized) hour, I am out of town and will be unable to do my show this Sunday.
The show that will air while I’m gone is mine, and is a repeat, which is bad, but it contains some great sequences of really catchy songs — […]

As of right now, KPSU will go dark on Friday, October 22 at 7pm. A high school football game […]

I haven’t received official word yet, but it looks like KPSU just got suckah-punched by Portland Public Schools. Our last AM broadcast will be Friday night, October 15th . We provide a very important service to the Portland Metro Area, and the people in power have decided that high school sporting events are […]

When John Twist first visited my program earlier this year, it was during a low point for the station in terms of equipment failure. It didn’t affect his set a bit, it just left us feeling sad that it hadn’t been captured on tape. With John’s upcoming fundraiser at the Red & Black Cafe, we […]
