Within this edition and the many that have come before it can be found a history of alternative culture, in Lexington and beyond. It serves as a guide to the labyrinths of the past. Thousands of bands have passed through this town over the years—hundreds have played in WRFL’s studio, and in that studio, the history is palpable; there is something in the air which feels, frankly, old. It remembers. Now, however, it is time for the studio to be remembered. In this edition you will find many of the things you’d expect from a RiFLe: concert reviews, festival schedules, station updates, poetry and art. But you will also find tributes, from WRFL deejays past and present, to the old space, its unique traditions, and what they meant to all of us. As tough as it is to move, in many ways nothing is changing. You’ll still hear great tunes, twenty-four seven three-sixty-five at eighty-eight point one. You’ll still hear Elvis at five o’clock on Tuesdays. There will still be announcements every fifteen-ish minutes, and we’ll still mess up on the air—we are human, after all. As always, we are wholly committed to providing one-of-a- kind programming to Central Kentucky, and there is no doubt: for WRFL, the future is bright. ~ It has been an absolute blast working on the last three editions of this ‘zine, and I couldn’t have put them together alone. My thanks go out to the RiFLe Squad, to the Shale Undergraduate Literary and Arts Journal (submit stuff to them, undergrads!), to my edi- tors Kimber Gray and Kelsie Potter, and especially to the staff of WRFL. This magazine is made up of their work, inspired by their enthusiasm, and grounded in the third part of WRFL’s mission: to support arts and music in the Lexington community. Best, Nathan Hewitt Design Director / Incoming General Manager 5 This summer is packed with new programs and old favorites. Here’s what to expect when you tune into WRFL this summer: Morning radio: Same great sounds from The Blue Yodel #9 and the Pacobilly Hour are complemented nicely by the addition of Great Great Grandmusic as a Saturday morning program. Two new faces to morning radio, Ben Southworth and Hank Russell, are looking to entertain your work commute with their respective new programs, State Songs, a Friday morning cross-country road trip exploring the best music of the fifty states, and Chillwaves, a Wednesday morning cool down featuring the best in electronic and chillwave music. Cody is back with the usual quirky selection of far out tunes on Tuesday mornings, and, of course, Trivial Thursdays is your Thursday Lexed- ucation. Afternoons:Summer Expect nothing less than great programming from The Hot Burrito Show and The Honky Tonk Happy Hour in their usual time slots. A few tweaks were made to afternoon programming. Bits and Pieces, a program featuring the best in video game tunes, is now on Saturdays from 3-4PM. Also, The Humpday Bump has returned to its 12-2PM home on Wednesdays. Drive2015 Time: Only one change here. Pro Audrey Campbell, formerly- Mondays 2-4PM, is now on Wednesdays from 4-6PM. Expect the best in indie, electronic, and hip-hop. Asleep at the Wheel, an eclectic mix of rock, punk, country, and a selection of other genres, is back on Mondays from 4-6PM. Black and Blues, The Weekend Wave, and Originalgramming Content all remained in place for the summer. Evenings: Tek Talks, a weekly technology and computer engineering talk program, airs Mondays 6-8PM. The Way Out is now on Tuesdays from 8-10PM, following season two of Generations of Jazz. The long beloved Uncle Bill Show aired its swan song on May 1st. Writ of Cer- tiorariUpdate, a broad-spectrum music program, airs on Fridays 8-10PM. The Percy Trout Hour, Old School Hip-Hop, Soundpound, The Catacombs, WRFL-Live, Music of India, The Phantom Power Dou- ble Hour, El Tren Latino, The Musical Box, and The Psychedelica- tessen are all staying put. The Heist, WRFL’s contemporary hip-hop program, is now on Friday nights from 10PM-Midnight. Late Night: Charly Hyden is the new host of WRFL’s weekly late night metal program, Go Go Metal Rangers!, airing Tuesdays 12-3AM. Sexually Speaking and Stand Up and Scream both return to their Monday early morning/Sunday late night spots. As for regular late night WRFL…. Expect the weird stuff.
