i am absolutely gutted.

on the evening of august 16th, some deeply upsetting news came to light: rice university was on the brink of selling ktru's fm frequency and transmitter for a mere $9.5 million to the university of houston/kuhf (an npr affiliate), to be used as an all-classical music station. no warning was given, there was essentially no time to organize a plan of action to attempt to block the sale. it was, in effect, already a done deal.

but we're not giving up without a fight.

if you are a supporter of creative radio, please visit savektru.org. there's a link to a petition there, as well as details on other ways to help.

if ktru becomes an internet-only station, i will continue to create freeform radio shows (and continue to be a part of the genetic memory specialty show rotation), if they will have me. i will continue to post playlists (hopefully less sporadically than in the past).

in addition, i hope to make some music mixes inspired by some of my favorite playlists, past & present, and post links to them here. since the audio of my radio shows has not been archived in any accessible way, many people have asked me to do this sort of thing, and i think it's finally time. watch this space...

  1. yer playlists are fire but that's complete weak-sauce! i for one will visit this save the station spot after i finish typing this mess. i too dearly miss the ineffable gratification that only an impeccable set on me own supersweet weekly slot can provide. our station & everything in it was similarly dismissed & sold in an insultingly crude & uncrupulously irreversible fashion, so we trashed the place & i mean we fugged that spot up. juvenile but cathartic. most of the dj's i knew from that period have expired as well, perhaps as a result of being stripped of their therapy & reduced to ack! anyhu, good luck sister. happy to read that ya aint gonna make it easy for these fat fux to fack off another outlet for creativity & camaraderie, the slags. best ~
