@kalxradio gave me the keys to the city again.... gonna be tearing up the Sunday airwaves, bi-weekly style. With the expanse of three whole hours I'll be trying different formats - interviews, call-ins, a request line?? Who knows! And guess what, my first show was this past Sunday; LinkinBio for the archive, etc.

Don't miss Catherine DeNuvaring LIVE on KALX Sat 11/1 9pm.l! Full live set and interview. Tune in silly Americans!

Frontal Lobe (@oldmanbasel) will be hosting an in-studio performance and interview from avant-garde experimental ensemble Insect Life on Sunday, October 26th at 2pm.

Born from weekly collaborative sessions at clarinettist Ben Goldberg’s house, Insect Life is an Oakland-based experimental ensemble dedicated to pushing the boundaries of improvised music. The band emphasizes spontaneity, orchestral cohesion, and an adventurous sonic palette that fuses avant-garde and abstract elements. Insect Life is set to release their self-titled debut album via @577records on November 7th, 2025. Enhancing the record’s depth, @zacharyjameswatkins (Black Spirituals, Foreign/Domestic, and KALX Live! alum) contributes remixes as a guest member for this album, complementing the ensemble’s expansive sonic landscape.

This performance will feature Ben Goldberg (@ben_goldberg_bag) on clarinet, Raffi Garabedian (@raffigarabedianmusic) on tenor saxophone, Danny Lubin-Laden (@dannylubin) on trombone, Myra Melford (@myramelford) on keys, Ben Davis on cello, and Hamir Atwal (@atwalhamir) on the drums.

Tune in on Sunday, October 12th at 12:30pm for a conversation between Seattle-based Brudi Brothers (@thebrudibrothers) and KALX’s Frontal Lobe (@oldmanbasel). Hear the brothers delve into how busking keeps them limber and ready for tour, their musical influences, and how they’re parlaying flash-in-the-pan viral fame into a music industry stepping stone. The Brudi Brothers have carved out a unique space in the Pacific Northwest music scene with their blend of old school folk and rock-and-roll feel, and now they’re ready to take on the world.

Are you in NYC? Love experimental cinema? Head to the @rockawayfilmfest for a screening of two of Paul's films, Hypnosis Display (a commissioned collaboration with @grouperepuorg) and some rare footage (last shown 2017 at @zebulonla) with a live sound performance by sweet @jcantuledesma. Happening this Sunday night 8/24. Make sure to check out the rest of the festival, too.

It's been very special and emotional to support my mom Lena @she_swims_ in preparing these films. We're excited to keep working to keep his films in circulation!
