Farewell, Ray Manzarek

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

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.

Farewell to 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!

Record Store Day 2013 – April 20

Joshua Minson — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 06:38:03 +0000

KRCL is proud to partner with our friends at the University Graywhale for activities celebrating this year’s Record Store Day. 6 years ago, Record Store Day was conceived as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding independently owned record stores.

This is the one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists in the United States and in various countries across the globe make special appearances and performances. Festivities include performances, cook-outs, body painting, meet & greets with artists, parades, djs spinning records and on and on.

KRCL will be getting in on the fun starting at 8 am on April 20th. Stay tuned for more exciting details!

Thank you to all the donors, volunteers, board members, on-air hosts, meal suppliers, phone-answerers, and anyone and everyone who gave of themselves for the drive.
