You'll hear every kind of blues imaginable from the birth of recorded blues in the 1920's to contemporary artists and everything in between. Blues music reflects everyday life and the full range of emotions that entails. Blues is not just about being down and out, but celebrating life as well. So if you like to have fun and boogie, then tune in every Friday from 7-9pm! Boogie on!

It's a trip back in time to those days in your daddy's pickup truck, with the George Jones, and Waylon Jennings 8-tracks playing; or to the times in your grandmother's kitchen, drinking an RC, eating too many Smarties, Mary Janes, or Tootsie Rolls, with Eddy Arnold or Kitty Wells in the background. Perhaps it's the Hank Jr. or Alabama song that's part of the soundtrack for that special vacation, first baseball game, first car, or first love. Whether the year was 1993, 1973, or 1953; the memories return with Ultimate Twang. The reminiscent sounds of days past from the voices and pickers you loved, along with a few you might have forgotten about. Simply sit back and enjoy, as the gentle breezes of yesterday carry those long-lost sounds and events back to the forefront of your memories.

Sir Bo Turbo Aka Robert Price sets forth what can only be described as an astringent decadent mind melt cocktail-haphazardly meshing Psychedelia, Euro Prog, Noise, obscure children's records, Kraut, Post punk, music of unknown ethnic origin,LPs , (@#$?), art rock, musique concrète, metal, country, bubblegum and minimalistic bouts of experimentation into a cyclonic colonic blitzkrieg.

The show prominently features a segment called Singles going unsteady (7' vinyl)

>digging thru classic platters as well as the dregs irresponsibly but with extreme anally explosive fortitude

"Beyond the realm of comprehension" promises to make any chill lounge transform into an all out sex party…..minus the sex..or the chill

'bene pendentes' cracks open skulls through deep-focus listening. Genre isn’t a concern; exploration is paramount.

Si vivimos para ser 100 tenemos 36.500 días para disfrutarlo.

A free form discussion about a wide variety of science topics.

The glorious analog sounds of jazz on LP. Even when squished to MP3 format for your convenience, some of that extra goodness still makes it through. With a focus on lesser known artists or smaller label releases when possible. Hit those thrift stores, yard sales, and used record stores and rescue those musical gems!

Backdoor Disturbances loathe cliché and convenience as well as the confinement of categorical terminology required by blurbs of all sorts. Radio is about sound, however, and so that's the foundational and freeform denominator here. Expect to hear jazz every week, as well as overlapping racket and ruin, traditional and cultural variety, field recordings, spoken word with dashes of disrespect for classic anything, unless that seems demanded by the moment or, perhaps simply, whim. Otherwise, BDs are not a baby and do not need to be rocked, though they do like to hear wtf rock when it's okay to be loud, and that means dissimulative ambiguity and afternoon to me unless I feel otherwise, eh?

And the Address, a program of strange, yet compelling music in a free-form setting. Entertaining and informative chatter, occasional guests and lots of surprises.

garage rock. post-punk. noise. blues. psych-everything. and anything saturday night-ish.

Chad and Dr. Filth throw a freeform (P)Replacement party…

Sister Anne and Papa Wheelie host this shot of delinquent rawk! Their slew is a dangerous dose of riotous revolution, desperate rock and roll, mojo driven blues, R & B stomp, hillbilly nihilism, psychedelic freakout, and garage punk nuggets. Tunes are sidled by found sounds of film and television from double entendre-laced noir dialogue, 70s and 80s made-for-t.v. movies & b-movie camp you didn’t know you couldn’t live without. Like, square your connection and let’s crash the ether, baby!

Doing Being is the oscillatory yet magically coherent infant
brainchild of Shantron Distrakto and William Silverfox. Upon tuning
in you will find yourself immersed within a sound collage of dreamy
pop, folk, (post) punk, psychedelic rock, indie, electronic, twee,
goth, metal, accordion punk music, etc. Includes special guests,
theory talk, awkward silences and other human noises coming from the
oral region headed straight for your ear through the bubbly wrinkles
of your brain ending with a furrow of your brow, a wide eyed
enlightened feeling, a booming laugh, a spark, and a twist in your
overall perceptions of "The World."

80's to present non-commercial hip hop.

w/ Miss Reverence and DJ Oso 8-9 pm
Recording the sounds of Galactic Appalachia in the End, where it really just all begins again- as your rhythms bounce off the face of inner-planetary stations, affecting the Infinite Matrix of Space. Interviewing your heart speak/local electronic artistry/ beat/ poetry/ the absurd bio- acoustic cadence of words/ verbal acrobatics/ show us yours.

If you would like to be on the record, contact Miss Reverence and DJ Oso at endtimerecords@me.com.

The Western North Carolina news and information program of AshevilleFM.org.  Bringing a fresh, grassroots perspective on local news, events and developments.

Four year old co-host Stella provides her unique perspective selecting records based on cover design while Eli plays what he wants. Dad and the offspring play a desperate collection, a musical train wreck. You can’t look away! We will tame the elephants in the room with you as our witness.

Join Cyrus Atkins every week as he plumbs the depths of greatness and minutia to bring out the connections in this unfathomable wasteland we call music!

No genre is out of bounds and there is no limit to the territory explored. Think of it as the aural equivalent of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.

Did you know that Waylon Jennings played bass for Buddy Holly? Or that Richard Hell did an album with Thurston Moore and Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth? Or that Steve Shelley produced Townes Van Zandt's final recordings? It's a small world fo' sho'!

Always entertaining and ever informative, The Connection promises to be radio with heart, soul, and plenty of nerd appeal!

The Connection is brought to you by the Desoto Lounge. Located at 504 Haywood Road in West Asheville the Desoto Lounge is open everyday from 3 pm to 2 am.

Each week, Holistic Harmony features informative interview segments with a local holistic health practitioner, combined with a mix of jazz and other stuff shuffled in for funsies.

For too many years, the jazz lifestyle was associated with substance abuse and hard living. But to me, jazz and alternative health concepts are linked by the improvisational aspect. Jazz is defined by the ongoing musical dialog between musicians, improvisation and experimentation, while still having respect for the idiom. And those that are interested in and utilize holistic health concepts are improvising too, learning about new modalities, and trying to maintain wellness using things that work with and respect the systems of the body. And my guests and I will provide the dialog that we hope helps to empower you to take charge of your health. Learn about subjects like energy medicine, acupuncture, herbs and nutritional supplements, and much more.

The show format usually runs like this:
- the vinyl sides hour from 4:00 to 5:00 pm where I play complete sides of vintage and more obscure albums from my personal collection
- ten minute interviews with the guest at 5:30, 6:00, and 6:30, with music before and in between interviews, and for the last 20 minutes or so

Stayed tuned in, stay healthy, and dig that minor 9th arpeggio!

Note: for comments, questions, or kudos (yay!), contact me at seandennis@ashevillefm.org.

When you listen to the show, I want you to be surprised, This is a show to be listened to, not just background noise...at least that is my intention for the show.

Show Contents: Music of all styles and genres. This show is constantly evolving/devolving. Occasional theme shows and guests. ; Join me on Facebook.

Every Monday for two hours Matt brings you an ecletic mix of Asheville locals, rocking regionals, and whatever he damn well feels like. Thats two hours of power for the same price as one!

A really close-minded look at boring rock n' roll during the stupid 70's and the tasteless 80's. You won't have any fun at all listening to self-styled "underground music", badly recorded racket, and/or forgotton-for-a-reason one-hit-wonders. Let's party.

Two hours of different genres or themes powered by witty (we think) banter, in studio performances, live interviews, and community built songlists. Each week features a new cohost that brings extra moxie to this riot. We're Diet Riot, just one calorie, not enough for a full riot! Just a misdemeanor and maybe some community service...

"The best in rap and hip hop from all over the 7 continents. From old school to new school- prepare to be schooled!"

For the better part of a year, ISG has been presenting some of the finest in under-appreciated tunes.

With presumably casual disregard for the listeners' comfort -- Matthew has offered up tracks from a variety of genres, such as blues, country, soul, jazz, hip-hop, unpretentious metal, dear-Jesus-anything-but-hardcore punk, innovative reggae, various and sundry flavors of rock, a few highly-specific species of techno, avant-garde weirdness, and the not-nearly-occasional-enough musical train wreck.

Tune in each week to follow your host's glacial-yet-entertaining descent towards random, directionless banter and sobbing!

See if you can detect the very moment his spirit breaks from the accumulated weight of playlist development -- fantastic prizes may be available to the 9th caller to shriek out that timestamp to the hapless station's secretary!!!

Here's the facts: we are on a beautiful ball of dirt that is hurtling thru space while some force totally beyond our ability to comprehend creates us, keeps us breathing, and will remove us. If we live to be 100 we have 36,500 days to enjoy it. Common Ground explores this reality and how to make the most of it with heart to heart excerpts from Prem Rawat's addresses to audiences all over the world, interviews, discussions and music - all coming from a desire to simply enjoy being alive.

Electronic house, dub, neo soul, balearic, ambient, techno, disco and rock. We dig deep in our crates to bring you a diverse selection of dance oriented music.

DJs Trevor, Nigel one, Harris, and Josh. www.nighttimeswerve.com

A radio program that will explore the many interesting and colorful stories from here in Western North Carolina, where the show originates, and as far away as curiosity will take us. In a magazine format, the show has a segment called “Between the Covers”, where we will review books, and ask many questions from the authors. And finally a few minutes in French, for those wishing to hear more of the French Canadian news and music, not to forget any other French music as well.

Conscious and dissident music and talk themes brought to you weekly by a bias jerk.
"It is just as important to be aware of what you listen to as it is to be aware of what you eat."~M.B.

The Invisible Worm flies through the night through the howling storm each week to resurrect for two hours the dear ghosts of rhizomatic power-pop and vernacular music from allover time and space. Every Monday night Shaina brings you startlingly fresh field recordings, home recordings, gut-wrenching gospel, birds and insects alike. Spooky, spoon-bendingly twee, a little radical revisionist music history, the occasional expert witness or live performance.

A “punk" radio show is only a moderately accurate description for CFR. Think of it more as punk radio for those too cynical and jaded with punk rock to want to listen to it all the time. Current and classic tunes from various forms of rock, soul, blues, rap, country, cheesy pop, etc. are always possible, sometimes in the form of a ridiculous curve ball. Interested in checking out past playlists? You can do so here!

A Jazz Menu: Serving up our favorites from classic American Fare to National / International Cutting Edge Gourmet . Weekly specials, featuring music from the forefront of the creative world of jazz that may be some what hard to come by. The musical meal is presented from the point of view of two professional jazz artists with diversity in taste as well as experience. Not to be overlooked will be music from Asheville's own burgeoning jazz scene.
Exposing any community to the highest quality jazz is the musical equivalent to the Hippocratic Oath. You will hear music that is timeless in it's essence because of the "in the moment" freshness of it's improvisational nature. We're motivated only by our love of the music and the desire to share jazz with others.

Curmudgeon music and opinion from Pappy who plays what he likes - which is old science records, alternative, swing, and most things dusty and boppy. This show is Saturday morning cartoons for the AARP crowd. Call in, and if his hearing aid is working, he'll give advice, take requests, give advice or just give unsolicited advice.

Broadcasting from the moon, music you either haven't heard yet, or tunes that have gotten buried, with a focus on local acts from across the states, concentrated in New England and spilling down the East coast – included: lesser-known numbers from established musicians and some jazz when there's jazzy weather.

Streaming dark melodies through your computer ranging from psychedelic, stoner metal, krautrock, noise rock, experimental electronic, soundscape, and archaic stylized hymns. Tune in and hop on the mystery train.

Bringing you the best in freeform Escalator Music.
**Elevator music with a better or more pronounced beat.**

Remember that first song you really loved? Remember that concert that felt like it changed you? Remember when we robbed that liquor store singing that Bel Biv Devoe song? Feels Like the First Time is all about music that has/does/will matter to me to you to that guy to somebody. Playing tunes and talking about them tunes.

"The blues is a man and woman - all the rest is monkey junk." - Son House.
The Replacement Party: specializing in monkey junk.

Freeform, with a deep concern for the sublime and a predilection for art punk, African grooves, krautrock, japrock, honky-tonk, garage rock, avant-garde jazz, bluegrass, early music, and anything “vernacular.” In search of the perfect segue. Get on the roller coaster–it’s Friday afternoon 2-5pm!

Join Dirk Flytrap and The Doctor every Tuesday evening from 6-8 pm on AshevilleFM. Listen as they explore the ins and outs of their musical existential crises.

Kick back and get "in the drift" on Sunday afternoons from 3-5pm. We'll float along to a wide variety of drone, ambient, and experimental records and tapes; tune in and discover something new!

Featuring the newest up-and-coming acts of independent electro/punk/rock/psychedelic/lo-fi/etc. music, with glimpses into the past to showcase what inspired them.

Mongo Sondo should not be confused with Mondo Songo or even Monso Gonzo. For an hour we talk about abstract music, surreal music and soundstuff that usually itself is a bit abstract and frequently makes no sense at all. Is it, it is? It’s whatever you want it to be. And there’s a host of people who come and go to help Zen figure out what to play and what it all means. It can be chaos, but that sometimes helps define the surreal and abstract. We play anything from Zappa to birdsongs and encourage you to send in your abstract/surreal or Exquisite Corps sound files and we’ll play ‘em (shortened if need be) on the air.

A metamorphic show featuring little bits of goodness (poems, interviews, miscellaneous, etc.) all wrapped together with varied genres. Spontaneity should be expected. A truly Daffodillic show!

Congo Square, Storyville, Dixieland, rock n'roll, jazz, R&B, boogie, brass, funk, Mardi Gras and even funerals all add spice to Mama Roux's New Orleans Gumbo as she takes us on a musical journey through one of the world's most beloved cities.

This capricious collage is a candid cackle and contentious cache characterized by camaraderie and collaboration to create change, cheat calamity, check certitude, challenge capacity, certify curiosity, and caringly charm city-folk and country-folk from the cage and caravan of the current, common civilization.

Experimental, genre defying music for all ages and from all ages. Pretty much anything is fair game here but there is an emphasis on minimal electronics of the non-dance persuasion as well as post-classical, between-the-cracks rock and some good ol’ time Musique Concrete when I can find it. We’ll also give emphasis to new releases when they come in. Non serious music for the academic listener.

Mental Notes seeks Utopian idea of freedom to play a free-form mix of trash, obscure-but-familiar, new or recent discovery, attempts to deliver lyrically engaging music interspersed with warm and friendly bs, non sequiturs and perhaps some illuminating musical history. Every Saturday night Steven sounds the Death Knell of commercial tedium, it's worth missing church for.

In case you miss it, here's the archive link: http://stream.ashevillefm.org/mentalnotesstream.m3u

Here's the Android App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.legind.ashevillefm&fea...

The Daffodilla is mighty.

For people just waking up from comas.

Music from around the world with an emphasis on music of the Mediterranean

Come join me while I play a few songs I like and tell funny and sometimes slightly disturbing stories about things that have happened to me and about things that have not happened to me. Imagine we're having a beer in your living room, except you're not saying anything. Maybe we'll occasionally be joined by a Very Special Guest.

Host Justin F. Farrar kicks up an electric dust cloud of deep-focus groove research, psychedelic wonder, dance mayhem, droning hypnotism and industrial noise. It’s wide open, folks. In the words of “Macho Man” Randy Savage, “Unbelievable time distortions. Space is the place, Mean Gene Okerlund. Going down that lonesome highway, yeah. But don’t be hypnotized, no. Reincarnation doesn’t have to be. You can concentrate — mental telepathy, yeah. But the beat goes on…”

Meet at the edges, where blues fuse. A mixture of traditional blues and blues fusion: blues/rock, blues/rap, blues/country, blues/whatever. All brought to you by the blues mistress, Big Mama Maggie.

The host huffs bath salts, wears Santa Fe Cologne, has pit stains in the ass of his sweatpants and he's ready to take you on a country music hell ride every Tuesday at 6:00pm.

With lots of help from his callers, Jon Reid takes the listener on a two hour whirlwind trip through the hilarious and the tragic.
Come for the music and the laughs, stay for the subversive youth ministers, conspiracy minded musicians and disgruntled pizza delivery drivers.

Themed shows feature cool kid-friendly tunes, storytelling, interviews on movies and books, and cool stuff happening in the Asheville, NC community. Comedy and call-ins are a must for this off-beat two-hour show.

A weekly freeform excursion that may or may not include sublime instrumentals, plucky interludes, double-tracked a cappella mumbling, prepared and unprepared pianos, and indigenous sounds from all eras and all areas.

Rummaging through dusted tumbleweeds and the "burnt American musical detritus," surfaces relics of the forlorn and forbidden. An intimate array of pre-war gospel, sludge to drudge, ethereal kaleidoscopes, world music from the other-worldly and then some. Tune in on those Sunday afternoons while you're tooling in your machine shop, burning down one, watching a silent film.

Have you ever had a minute long conversation with an interesting person and you really took something away from it? Now imagine and it's an hour and you don't even know the people talking! Get ready to meet intellectuals, luminaries and your own mom, every Wednesday night!

To listen to each edition, select the link in each blog post.

We also schedule various theme shows, especially specific to a genre or artist. You can drop us a line at erikmattox at ashevillefm dot org.

Sports news of the day, week, or year will be discussed to within an inch of its laugh. Correspondents from across the region and around the world will join us to talk about their favorite teams, special sports events, and personal histories. Mostly, we will find guidance from the words of that great sports philosopher Rasheed Wallace: "Both teams played hard."

Its Sunday morning, whether you've just dragged your corpse out of bed to put the coffee on and start breakfast, or you're lacing up your shoes to head out for a good run, you'll have some good fun starting your day with an hour of indie-rock, pop, and punk to get things going.

Wordplay every week features poets and writers of creative prose in
performance, and in conversation about their craft and ideas. Our
guests have included Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winners
and high school students; writers who are household names (in
households that read, at least), and writers who have only begun the
process of interaction and publication that leads to recognition;
formalists and performance poets - all working to keep language alive
and real.

Talk, music and comedy show featuring the dubious opinions and highly suspect social commentary of master debaters Foul Mouth Jerk & TopR Holiday. It features in-depth interviews with both local and nationally disreputable artists and musicians of every sordid manner, as well as advice from a suspected felon. Hip-hop, funk and classics provided by Adam Strange & Smidi. The inmates are now running the asylum!

Are you looking for great music and hilarious comedy? Good! You’ve come to the right place. Are you looking for someone to hold your hand and whisper sweet nothings in your ear? Too bad, you have taken a wrong turn. Unfortunately, this is now Your Only Option (with Ben).

If you are under the age of 18, chronologically or emotionally, this may not be the show for you...
