JANUARY 26TH - NOT THE FIRST SHOW:
Welcome to "The Western Front" - KGNU's experimental magazine show, delivering an action-packed variety of news, sounds, and a few other suprises (from 9-11 pm) for our peeps along the Front Range.
We're at it again, another collosal shot of news and tunes for you! Tonight we'll chat a bit with some artists who've wired the planet for sound... the music of the fault lines, we'll hear an eyewitness account of the Tsunami, we'll hit Blackberries for a dose of poetry, we'll hear a performance and have a conversation with Mocean Worker. Plus the latest news, tunes, and so much more. Once again, Rob Bell is your pilot... please be sure that all seatbacks and tray tables are in their upright and locked positions... and, yes, you may have an extra bag of pretzels if you wish.
FEATURES FOR THIS EVENING:

After The Wave:
Elijah, a thirteen year old Colorado resident, went to Thailand over the holidays to visit his father. It's hard to beat Christmas in paradise, right? Then the waves came. We're very lucky to have Elijah with us to speak about his experience with the Tsunami.
