Radio Free D’ni

Welcome to Radio Free D’ni!

Welcome to the homepage of Radio Free D’ni. You will find here both our current announcements and our past playlists. Our links to the music stream are at the top, just above this post. And there’s a stream player right here (mind you, it’ll only play anything when the stream is on).

Generally speaking, we present a new show every other week, at 1300 KI time, with remastered versions of our shows from five years ago in the intermediate weeks. We have pre-show music usually starting 30 minutes earlier (so getting on the stream at 12:30 KI time might be a good idea), and also a good bit of music after the show proper.

13:00 KI is 8 pm in the UK, 9 pm in CET. KI time is Mountain Time in the US, and it follows DST… I can only assume that when Victor Laxman got the KI’s working again he synch’d them to surface time in New Mexico…

What’s That Weird Sound?

This week’s offering showcases cases of interesting instruments—that is, instruments one would not normally associate with the genre of music they are being used in. Come for the oboe and cello, and stay on for the bass harmonica and the bagpipes…

278 Talking Heads

A refreshing change, a New Wave band of impeccble credentials and excellent musicianship.   David Byrne was the mover behind it, and with his individual performance style, became the face of the band, to their occasional chagrain.  We covered the whole of their recording history, and did not ignore all of their big hits.   A big success with our audience too

Television Pundits

OK, that’s the dictionary definition of this week’s theme: Talking Heads. Post-punk at a time when Punk was at its peak, later guitar pop and world music when those were long gone, New Wave through most of their career.

152R Astronomy

A stellar show,well,I thought so, and so did our audience who were effusive in their enthusiasm. Ranging from orchestral to rock, the music was all positive and very listenable, and just what was needed on a hot summer’s day.

Hey Look! Stars!

And moons, and planets, and nebulae… astronomy. That’s this week’s theme. So, if you see stars during our show, it’s not necessarily because you received a blow to your head.

277 Hawkwind : By The Book

A show concentrating on the multiple literary references drawn by Hawkwind throughout their career, of which there are more than enough to fill several hours.

I promised I’d link the lyrics of Steven Savitsky’s filk song “The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of” which contains the line about rockets landing on their tailfins.  So here it is.

151R Alice Cooper

The inventor of Shock Rock, traced from his early glam-rock sessions to today and his continuing career, slightly less gory now but still disreputable.   But it’s all an act, and he’s a really nice guy, these days anyway.

Alice. Alice! Who the…

No, not that Alice. We’re talking about that band from Phoenix. You know, Alice Cooper? Well, anyway, that band with Vincent Furnier as frontman. Who later legally adopted the name of the band, Alice Cooper. But we’ll get to that in the show.

276 Alan Hull

A show about the founder of Lindisfarne and one of the finest songwriters of rock with an English feel, Alan Hull.  Lindisfarne and Hull are favourites of mine, which made the show hard work, as i had to narrow it down from a very wide list and then do the songs justice.  Hopefully I’ve made him a little more widely known.
