FEATURES FOR THIS EVENING:

LINT Performance:

Tonight we'll all become a part of history as Jason McDaniel and Arlo White of LINT shuffle out of the proverbial belly button to make their first public appearance. What in the wide world of sports could possibly be more exciting than that? Rob Bell will chat with the fellas about their music, plus they'll spin a set of music for us.

Thessaloniki Mindscape:

Nile Southern takes us east to the Byzantine city of Thessaloniki, Greece (his wife's hometown). "Thessaloniki Mindscape" remixes the family, friends, "flizvos" (lapping of the sea), sublime and cacaphonous frequencies of radio/TV, and more. Politics and ambience mix together for a taste of the European city one should and MUST drop in on, and say... YAA-SU!

Dossier: Les Paul & Mary Ford

Doc Martin digs through the dusty crates of secret files to uncover the dossier on Les Paul & Mary Ford. Find out about this dynamic husband and wife team's unique sound, plus learn about Les Paul's revolutionary approach to studio recording... the master knob-twister is revealed tonight.
