WXYC Spring 1997 Newsletter WXYC SignalSignal toto NoiseNoise March 1997 March 18, 1997 I laughed when I was recently told is WXYC’s that Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to 20th anniversary Listen for special anniversary events Heaven” was the first song that & broadcasts in March and April WXYC played when it first went on the air twenty years ago. Not Inside out of any disdain or disrespect for Led Zeppelin - which is still a Interview with Matthew Shipp big favorite of several WXYC DJs, believe it or not... continued inside WXYC’s top 77 of 1997 It's all age groups. We have Chapel Hill High School and the junior high school kids listening to us.

Hamid Drake-Michael Zerang Duo — Ask the Sun (OKKADISK) - or even “Stairway to Heaven”, despite the fact that I can think of at How well does any of this work, if it works at least twenty better (and probably shorter) Led Zeppelin songs that I’d all? WXYC’s greatest strength is what some sooner listen to. perceive to be its greatest flaw: that there’s too much of the unfamiliar and strange and not enough No, I chuckled and smirked inside because it seemed like the great of the stuff you already know and love. We respect radio god in the sky couldn’t have written a more ironic opening script and understand this position and we always value for WXYC than to have the station play “Stairway to Heaven” as its your input as a listener. But by the same token, we first song. Think about it...on the one hand you have “Stairway to hope you understand that as an educational and Heaven”, a song that has to be the most blatantly over-requested and entertaining freeform radio station, WXYC must painfully overplayed song in the history of the narrowly casted radio keep exploring and mixing it up, embracing the format known as “classic rock.” On the other hand, you have WXYC, previously unknown with the same fervor that most a radio station that has spent the last couple of decades trying to reach of us reserve for listening to our old favorites. It’s beyond not only the limits imposed by advertisers and mainstream this constant shifting of focus and the resulting definitions of quality and accessibility (restrictions that most college unpredictability that often makes WXYC truly stations eschew to some degree or another), but also the often-false magical. Because without any limits or genre notion of “genre” and the artificial musical boundaries that any sort of restrictions, you never know...that next song you block programming inevitably creates. hear could truly be ANYTHING. Maybe even “Stairway to Heaven.” During my years at WXYC, our stated format has been “music of the 20th century”. Obviously, the station’s going to have to come up Tim Ross, station manager with a different catch-phrase in a few years, but that’s not relevant to the matter at hand. Right now, “music of the 20th century” seems like a fairly accurate, if vague, description of what WXYC sounds like. It’s also the description of an ambitious and idealistic format that’s often difficult to implement in reality. In fact, it bears noting that by no means has WXYC always sounded as diverse as it does right now. The road from that initial playing of “Stairway to Heaven” to WXYC’s current attempted blend of almost every imaginable type of music has been long and arduous, one filled with all sorts of incremental modifications to the playlist and station soul-searching about how to better integrate all types of music into one appealing whole. So now, in 1997, a 20-year-old WXYC finds itself with the incredibly exciting yet monumentally imposing task of mixing together almost every type of music, from all of the world’s forms of centuries-old DJs’ Picks from ‘96 traditional music to a whole host of modern musical genres that didn’t even exist when this station went on the air. We’re talking blues, African, 1 TORTOISE “Millions Now Living Will Never Die” electronic, cajun, reggae, gospel, punk, ska, Celtic, hip-hop, noise, pop, 2 SUN CITY GIRLS “330,003 Crossdressers Latin, jazz, folk, dub, classical, Asian, techno, and more...not to mention From Beyond the Big Veda” all of the numerous hybrids and subsplinters of these categories that only go to show how limiting the listed category definitions can be in 3 DOCTOR OCTAGON “Ecologyst” the first place. 4 STEREOLAB “Emperor Tomato Ketchup” WXYC’s top 77 of ’97 continued 5 TRANS AM “Trans Am” 6 THE ROOTS “Illadelph Halflife” 62.

  • Mccorkle PLACE
    CHAPTER EIGHT: McCORKLE PLACE McCorkle Place is said to be the most densely memorialized piece of real estate in North Carolina.501 On the University’s symbolic front lawn, there are almost a dozen monuments and memorials fundamental to the University’s lore and traditions, but only two monuments within the space have determined the role of McCorkle Place as a space for racial justice movements.502 The Unsung Founders Memorial and the University’s Confederate Monument were erected on the oldest quad of the campus almost a century apart for dramatically different memorial purposes. The former honors the enslaved and freed Black persons who “helped build” the University, while the latter commemorated, until its toppling in August 2018, “the sons of the University who entered the war of 1861-65.”503 Separated by only a few dozen yards, the physical distinctions between the two monuments were, before the Confederate Monument was toppled, quite striking.

  • Full Results of Survey of Songs
    Existential Songs Full results Supplementary material for Mick Cooper’s Existential psychotherapy and counselling: Contributions to a pluralistic practice (Sage, 2015), Appendix. One of the great strengths of existential philosophy is that it stretches far beyond psychotherapy and counselling; into art, literature and many other forms of popular culture. This means that there are many – including films, novels and songs that convey the key messages of existentialism. These may be useful for trainees of existential therapy, and also as recommendations for clients to deepen an understanding of this way of seeing the world. In order to identify the most helpful resources, an online survey was conducted in the summer of 2014 to identify the key existential films, books and novels. Invites were sent out via email to existential training institutes and societies, and through social media. Participants were invited to nominate up to three of each art media that ‘most strongly communicate the core messages of existentialism’. In total, 119 people took part in the survey (i.e., gave one or more response). Approximately half were female (n = 57) and half were male (n = 56), with one of other gender. The average age was 47 years old (range 26–89). The participants were primarily distributed across the UK (n = 37), continental Europe (n = 34), North America (n = 24), Australia (n = 15) and Asia (n = 6). Around 90% of the respondents were either qualified therapists (n = 78) or in training (n = 26). Of these, around two-thirds (n = 69) considered themselves existential therapists, and one third (n = 32) did not. There were 235 nominations for the key existential song, with enormous variation across the different respondents.

The last time this publication came out in 2002, WXYC was CB 5210 Carolina Union Icelebrating its 25th year of existence as the student-run radio station at the University of Chapel Hill, NC 27599 North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This year we celebrate another big event – our tenth anni- USA versary as the first radio station in the world to simulcast our signal over the Internet. As we celebrate this exciting event and reflect on the ingenuity of a few gifted people who took (919) 962-7768 local radio to the next level and beyond Chapel Hill, we can wonder request line: (919) 962-8989 if the future of radio is no longer in the stereo of our living rooms but on the World Wide Web. http://www.wxyc.org As always, new technology brings change that is both exciting [email protected] and scary. Local radio stations and the dedicated DJs and staffs who operate them are an integral part of vibrant local music communities, like the one we are lucky to have here in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Staff NICOLE BOGAS area. With the proliferation of music services like XM satellite radio Editor-in-Chief and Live-365 Internet radio servers, it sometimes seems like the future EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: Nicole Bogas of local radio is doomed.

    Department of Music Stony Brook University The Revolution guitarist Wendy Melvoin Department of Music Stony Brook University Rock, pop music, and society MUS 109 (86275) Fall 2018 This course is a (mostly) chronological survey of the musicians, producers, albums, concerts, genres, instruments, publications, substances, sounds, arguments, and ideas crucial to the past seven decades of rock and pop music. We will examine a musical form vital to twentieth-century artistic innovation, grappling with questions of race, gender, sexuality, and political change along the way. In addition to readings, you will listen carefully to important pieces of music, exploring them formally and historically. Each week, you’ll read a mixture of autobiography, music journalism, interviews, social criticism, and more. You will listen to music, and sometimes view a documentary or video. Several short response essays throughout the semester will allow you to flex your critical and argumentative muscles. By the end of the semester, you will possess an expanded musical vocabulary and a deep knowledge of an important branch of musical history.

Once the effects of the new wave were fully absorbed, it became apparent that the world of singer-songwriters would never be the same again. A conceptual mood had taken over the scene, and that mood's predecessors were precisely the Bob Dylans, the Neil Youngs, the Leonard Cohens, the Tim Buckleys, the Joni Mitchells, who had not been the most popular stars of the 1970s. Instead, they became the reference point for a new generation of "auteurs". Women, in particular, regained the status of philosophical beings (and not only disco-divas or cute front singers) that they had enjoyed with the works of Carole King and Joni Mitchell. Suzy Gottlieb, better known as Phranc (1), was the (Los Angeles-based) songwriter who started the whole acoustic folk revival with her aptly-titled Folksinger (? 1984/? 1985 - nov 1985), whose protest themes and openly homosexual confessions earned her the nickname of "all-american jewish-lesbian folksinger". She embodied the historic meaning of that movement because she was a punkette (notably in Nervous Gender) before she became a folksinger, and because she continued to identify, more than anyone else, with her post- feminist and AIDS-stricken generation in elegies such as Take Off Your Swastika (1989) and Outta Here (1991).
