In/Audible
In/Audible is a sporadically published WXYC newsletter/zine, and the first issue in two years finally hit the streets this past weekend. As a contributor to this particular In/Audible, I might be a bit biased...but I've really been enjoying reading other people's articles over the last few days and I highly recommend picking up an issue. It's action-packed! Funk archaeologist Jason Perlmutter wrote a fascinating article about little-known NC soul/funk/R&B acts from the 1960s and 1970s, and Todd Ito put together a great and eye-opening list of "15 Slept-On Hip-Hop Albums", respectfully raising the ante on a similar "slept-on" list that the Ego Trip folks published many years back. Jessica Kem reviews an interesting-sounding book that critically reexamines the prevailing Robert-Johnson-centric ideas about blues history while also finding enough space to tip us off to the online audio exhibit Southern Mosaic: The John and Ruby Lomax 1939 Southern States Recording Trip. And I could go on and on....there's also a whole bunch of record reviews and thought-provoking essays about various music-related topics.
My article is a detailed and quote-centric account of how WXYC became the first radio station in the world to simulcast its radio signal over the internet. The 10-year anniversary of that groundbreaking event is coming up in just a week-and-a-half, and within a few days I will be putting my article online and hyping the anniversary celebration as much as I can. Until then, you can read about the 1994 WXYC webcast in this swank-looking issue of In/Audible, which is probably available in local independent record stores (Schoolkids, CD Alley), local rock clubs, and hopefully a few other places. Out-of-towners (especially you WXYC alums) who are interested in a copy can just email me a street address or PO Box....and I will do my best to grab one and send it your way.

Hey Tim!
Save one for me if you could- I'll get it when I see you at Christmas.
Nice Geto Boys reference above.
