The new exhibit at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts is an interactive Drawing Lab, which gives visitors the opportunity to experiment with different forms of mark making. Building from the idea that drawing is a fundamental human instinct of expression, the Lab considers the formal and informal ways we follow that instinct.

Farewell, Ray Manzarek

May 20, 2013 in KRCL Music Blog by KrclAdmin Ray+Manzarek+ray1

We’re sad to say that Ray Manzarek, keyboardist and founder of The Doors, passed away today in Germany. He was 74.

In addition to his time with The Doors, Manzarek played in many other bands, recorded a rock adaptation of Carmina Burana with Phillip Glass, and worked with Echo & the Bunnymen, X, Iggy Pop and more. He will be missed

Album of the Day: May 20th

May 20, 2013 in KRCL Music Blog by KrclAdmin AlbumOfDay_250x250

On this day in 1967 the BBC previewed a new album from The Beatles. Just a little something, you may have heard of it…

It’s been said that Brian Wilson from The Beach Boys broke down and cried when he heard this record, he was so devastated it wasn’t his own creation. (Although Paul McCartney has said, in turn, that the orchestral arrangements on Pet Sounds were an inspiration.)

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is KRCL’s featured album of the day.

Burrito Project SLC

May 17, 2013 in The Beehive by KrclAdmin Beehive_336x280
 

Jorge Fierro of Frida Bistro and Rico has taken up the cause of The Burrito Project. Based out of his kitchens, the SLC chapter of the national effort brings on volunteers a few days each week – one crew to make hundreds of rice & bean burritos, and another crew to distribute them to the homeless via bicycle. It’s a nutritious, delicious, and surprisingly easy way to do some real good in our community.

Farewell to World Cafe

May 13, 2013 in Home by KrclAdmin world cafe

Thank you to everyone that took our recent programming survey. We appreciate and value your feedback.

It has been a little more than a year since KRCL began broadcasting the nationally syndicated program, World Cafe. The show launched with mixed reviews and although many KRCL listeners love the program, most feel that we should use that time for more locally-curated music programming.

Effective Monday, May 13th, KRCL will no longer air the syndicated program, World Cafe. Fans of the show can still stream it online and can find a link to the show here.

Your feedback and continued support is vital to 90.9fm KRCL!
