One of the more scattered random shows I've done recently. Proof that having more time to scan and preview new music doesn't always make it any easier to pull together a show. Sometimes it just provides me with more difficult decisions to make! :-]

And now for next week... ... If anybody who listens to the show reads this you should send me an email, or respond here with song or theme ideas. Otherwise I may end up playing ugly static and machine noises for 2 hours. Or the sound of demented dogs fighting over a dead chicken! Or Michael Bolton and Barry Manilow playing the StarSpangledBanner?...for two hours....../////..Well maybe not that(I
'd hate to find myself buried in my own vomit,) but something equally horrific ,,,,so please just give me some feedback folks! :)

So much to choose from that I'm going to be here all night!

Dipping into mostly new releases here at the radio station.

I will have been up for 24 hours by the time I get home tonight so I'd like to hear from you. Keep me awake!
If you're tuning in on line drop me an email!

Winter Soldier

KAOS is airing the Pacifica coverage of the "Winter Soldier" testimony forum, live from outside of Washington DC this weekend. It's Very important stuff to hear/ bear witness to. Stories from Iraq war vets and other victims of this travesty which we are still in the midst of.

And to process that which we've heard, on Dancing in Circles this Tuesday night my theme will be Casualties of War, featuring some poetry/prose and songs that deal with this dark dilemma we find ourselves in again. I want your ideas, your thoughts and words could also be presented on the air by sending them to me.

Please send your songs, ideas, thoughts and words, mp3's , wave files etc to:

kaosinwonderland@yahoo.com

Let's make ourselves heard and turn this around, one life at a time.

Truth be known !

what's to become of kaos?




So, we have struggled thru another kaos membership drive and it's been a rough one.
Again!

Maybe 35 years is all we get. Should we give up and let Clear Channel take over?

Ok, no we're not going away but with the changing media landscape we must look forward.
What do you think? How can we keep independent radio alive? Do enough people care?

Certainly some devoted citizens do but it seems we may be too few at this point to carry on as we have, so what is the next phase of funding for local community radio?

Unlike parking services, who charge you upfront for the privilege of using their space and services, and who, if you don’t pay, will write you a ticket and make you pay more, we ask you to voluntarily recognize that we provide you with valuable information and entertainment and hope that you will volunteer to help keep that coming your way, for you and the rest of the community by making a pledge of monetary support toward the radio station.

I know some people hate to hear us seemingly begging and pleading for your involvement in this process, but we really need to be able to show we have listeners and there's no other way for us to show that in radio without your direct support. We can't monitor your radios and know who's listening. (unlike the web!)

If you have thoughts on this please respond, I really want to know where you think we should go next. How should KAOS proceed as a community station?
