A Scanner Darkly,” Fridays 2:30-3:30 p.m. Alex Dinwiddie aka "Kid A" says it’s an “eclectic mix of music spanning the generational gap. From the psychedelic sounds of an analogue drone to the digital spectrum of 'the heavy. If it sounds good, I'll play it!”

“Harold’s Chicken,” Fridays 10-11 a.m. Nicholas Glass and Michael Mulholland bring you “everything from Roy Ayers to Frank Zappa, jazz, rock, hip hop, Afrobeat, etc.”
