KZSU DEPROGRAMMING

VARIOUS KZSU DJ'S AND SOME OTHER UNKOWN FOLKS.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS...

While the grid layout in the center of this guide may be the easiest way to present our entire summer schedule in one place, it certainly doesn't do justice in describing our musical shows. This portion of the guide gives our DJs a little more freedom in telling YOU about their shows...

BLUES

"The first century of Stanford and the blues both! I will present an outsiders glimpse into the world the blues came from, and the one it lives in now. I will almost completely ignore Stanford's first hundred though, huh? Any excuse for a party." - Shiney Mic, Thursdays at Noon

"Classic rhythm and blues from the 40s to the 90s featuring live interviews, blues concert calendar, new releases, old classics and chestnuts, blues news from around the world, and weekly blues frivolity with the Byrd of Paradise." - The Byrd of Paradise, Saturdays at 9AM

Also be sure to check out the Blue Velvet Show Friday mornings at 6AM.

"If you like toe tapping music and parties then this is the show for you - the best of southwest Louisiana." - Leonard, Saturdays at 6AM

"24 words describing funk would do you about as much good as memorizing the alphabet backwards. Tune in, get in the groove, and funk out." - Alex, Mondays at 6AM

GARAGE

"Wicked bizarre instrumentals brought from the tiki gods to a skull mug brimming with potent delicious rum drinks." - Dr. Sauce (PhD), Thursdays at 3PM

HEAVY SHIT

"Death Warmed Over revels in the diseased and festering sounds of death metal with heapings of brutal grind; slow, torturous doom; and manic noise." - Christine Death, Tuesdays at 9PM

"Metal the way it used to be - metal for old-school folks." - Dad, Tuesday nights at midnight

"I'm going to play hardcore, both new and old. Underground grind, crust, noise, local punk, maybe a little older punk, free jazz, and classic funk." - Zodiac Iller, Wednesdays at 6AM

"A thrash and death oriented metal show, drawing somewhat from industrial, hardcore, and traditional heavy metal." - NMV, Friday mornings at 3AM

"The Dopestyle Memorial Peyote Turquoise and Ambrosia Provisional in short is the Dopestyle show, 2010.

"Listener: I am quite flattered that you tune into my show. I will play you the best of what I've found in my music shops across the nation, around this magnificent globe, the music that rocks my world: along with some random junk and non-music for those of us with short attention spans." - Red West, Tuesdays at 6AM

"Join Scotty M as he takes you on a journey though indie pop havens down new wave highways, over punk streets and all around the musical spectrum." - Scotty M, Thursdays at 6AM

MIXING

"Guest dj's weave together updated primal music in the form of house + techno trax." - DJ Unknown, Tuesdays at Noon

...AND SHOWS THAT DEFY CLASSIFICATION

"Your connection to Ken Cheetham's Bay Area Progressive Calendar. The music will be lots of new stuff, with a focus on erratic contrasts of musical styles. There will surely be a handful of grindcore tunes and there may be an appearance of skronky jazzy stuff. Hardcore and emo will be peppered throughout. Every once in a while you might find a gospel blues singer sandwiched in. And of course no show could be complete without some occasional industrial clanking and drum machines." - Stefan, Tuesdays at 3PM
