The Acoustic Storm with Jeff Parets Adds Two Radio Affiliates ROLLING ON THE RIVER IN WINE COUNTRY The Acoustic Storm welcomes its newest station, The River (KVRV) in Santa Rosa, California. The Storm will roll on The River every Sunday morning from 6-8. STORM DEBUTS IN SOUTH DAKOTA Starting this Sunday (9/11), The Acoustic Storm can be heard each week from 9 a.m.-12 noon on Q-92.3 (KQRQ) in Rapid City, South Dakota. Each week, a different artist is spotlighted in "The Eye of The Acoustic Storm." Hourly segments of "The Eye" feature the artist's music along with bio information and sound bites. Born Gordon Sumner, Sting fronted the Police and then made the seamless transition into a very successful solo career. Sting will be in the Eye of The Storm this Sunday (9/11), featuring both his solo music and unplugged Police tunes. Listen to the Acoustic Storm in your area or worldwide via two live streaming stations: http://www.acousticstorm.com/stations.php 4:36:12 PM

Light (Photo) Through Paper Light through paper. Light coming through shoji is like the sound of waves: it's always basically the same thing but it's never actually the same thing. [Posted to: Photographs] [Antipixel - Excerpts] 4:20:29 PM

New Orleans in Music and Culture The Show Must Go On. After the Storm Sometime this weekend, you may be able to hear one of the best expressions of New Orleans' role in music and culture available in any mass media. It's American Routes, a weekly show carried on many US public radio affiliates. Programmed and hosted by folklorist and UNO professor of folklore and culture Nick Spitzer, the show normally broadcasts from a studio in the heart of the French Quarter, but has found a temporary home on a Creole/Cajun French/English public radio station in Lafayette. Spitzer told the NYT that he began planning the music for this week's show as he was fleeing the flooding city in his car, playing Fats Domino's "Walking to New Orleans." This week's show highlights New Orleans' recovery from disasters past, emphasizing the city's role as the greatest single wellspring of American music. The Crescent City, after all, has either birthed or nurtured everything from jazz, R & B, cajun and the related black-influenced zydeco, soul, blues, gospel, and rock and roll.) With an encyclopedic knowledge of American vernacular music, an utterly democratic spirit, and an unmistakeable respect and love for American musical forms and the people who create them, Spitzer has stepped forward several times this week to serve as a compassionate and optimistic spokesman for the irrepressible creative spirit of a suffering city and a culture in diaspora.
