Music

Alan Ball brings you Blues from the Roadhouse Tuesdays at noon with some great capital B Blues music and featured artists.  These programs gnaw at the roots of American music as an integral part of our cultural history. Starting as impromptu work and rhythm chants on plantations, this genre soon spread to many more popular styles. Alan is a recent transplant to Placitas, moving from Santa Fe. He has lived in New Mexico for 35 years, was a Platte River youngster in the Midwest and escaped to the Rocky Mountains as soon as possible. Alan enjoyed four years as an active DJ for a low power college station in Lincoln NE. Since the 70's his career has taken him into banking, real estate and title insurance while squeezing in a little alpine skiing and travel.

We are working to carry on his work by reformatting as many discs as possible for airplay on KUPR every Wednesday night from 10 pm to midnight.

X Wave is a weekly show Saturdays 8-10 pm - dedicated to underground, new wave, and alternative music from the college radio era. X Wave DJ Freeze began his on-air career at the age of 10 as host of a dial-in music request show on public access cable in Rochester, NY. His radio career follow shortly after when, in 7th grade, he began pulling records for shows on his high school’s broadcast radio station, WIRQ. He worked his way up through the ranks of DJ, Music Director, and eventually program director of WIRQ, one of the Rochester area’s premier radio stations playing new wave, underground, and alternative music. Next was college, where he majored in broadcasting and brought his radio experience to WERG in Erie, Pennsylvania, holding various positions throughout the early to mid-nineties.
Freeze is a music lover of all genes, but there is a special place in his heart for the music of his youth - the sounds of the peak college radio era. Fun fact - his first live concert was New Order, Public Image Limited, and The Sugarcubes in 1989.

Ready for a music adventure?  Tune in for Johnny Lawndart at 8pm, Wednesdays, with Hindsight - a weekly theme of underplayed and overlooked music.
Back when Datsuns roamed the earth, Lawndart was a collector of all music that was under the radar and off the grid.  Shuffling and repackaging selections of his ever expanding collection into numerous mini-presentations, he labored over, what prehistoric man once called, "mix tapes". This passion for gathering only the overlooked gems for a themed presentation eventually led him straight to radio. His show "Hindsight" provides listeners with only the best of underplayed talent.  Johnny promises to treat you to completely unprofessional on-air presence and clumsy commentary, but backed by the absolute best music you might have missed, and shouldn't live without.

Picture

John McNerney (who is also an engineer for the station along with Larry Wilson and Jerry DiTata) shows up  Mondays at noon for two hours of Early Rock and Roll. John retired from state service in New England and moved back to his native New Mexico recently. While he was here as a young man, he was an "Announcer" on KUNM when both studio and transmitter were in the basement of the UNM Student Union and the antenna was on the roof. It broadcast on 90.1 FM. That was in the late 1960s and early 1970s. "Announcer" was euphemism for DJ; somehow DJ implied popular AM Radio in those days, an anathema to KUNM, which viewed itself as more avante guarde and played Rock and Roll, mainly tunes that you would not likely hear on AM Radio. He lives in Placitas with his wife of many years. She is a trained classical musician, but has come to appreciate some of the Rock and Roll of those days. He is also engaged in volunteering around Sandoval County, providing services similar to those he provided in his career.
