(In exchange for some free CDs and mentoring the college DJs rebroadcast their shows on the high school station’s signal during various evening and weekend time slots. “We were really big fans of KYDS before this even happened” says KSSU station manager Robert Young. )The radio diariesJoey Reynolds loves hardcore metal; Alex Sanchez digs classic and Latin rock. So when KYDS’ 17-year-old public service announcement director and 16-year-old music director face off during their shared daily time slot sonic sparks fly right?Nah Reynolds says. Instead the pair has devised a pact trading off days with Friday reserved as a musical free-for-all. “We used to battle a lot but now it really works out” Reynolds says as he adds a Deftones song to the computer playlist drops in an oh-so-sensitive Bright Eyes track and then slips in some Killswitch Engage metalcore. The real wars Ferri says are actually fought on technical ground: malfunctioning CD decks; stuttering computer programs; overheated overloaded systems; and the constant threat of losing their aging radio tower… )Additional funding also will allow the station which dips into a computer- generated playlist when school’s not in session to build a bigger library. “Right now we have a lot of limitations” Sanchez says. “A new system means we can store five times as much music. “Turn on tune inIt’s kind of funny Ferri says. Because the students work at the station during school hours they’re not really playing to an audience of their peers. “We’re not allowed to have radios or MP3 players at school so our friends don’t have the chance to listen while we’re on the air” Ferri says. As it turns out the listeners are as eclectic as the music: college students and parents office workers and retirees 20-somethings hungry for some good tunes.

The Mariah we usually see and hear is a glossy one. Psychologists might say her affect is “off” — meaning her gestures and facial expressions don’t match her mood. There’s a reason for that as she explains on “Side Effects” which is the emotional abuse she says she suffered during her marriage to music mogul Tommy Mottola. Mariah who is usually quite guarded has alluded to the subject in songs like “Petals” but never has she gone into such detail as she does on “Side Effects” in which she refers to the marriage as a “private hell that we built. ” Even though it’s been 11 years since they split up she sings in a lower register that she’s still “wakin’ up scared some nights… Mariah reminisces about the too-little time she shared with her mostly absent father and regrets how as a child she didn’t understand why he failed to show up sometimes to see her after he and her mother divorced when she was 3. ” This confessional moment doesn’t last long since she extends this song about death to be for anybody “who just lost somebody. So on the club-thumping “Migrate” she hops from “my car into the club.

Founding the organization in 1995 Novak ushered in a Prague scene whose mottos include “industrial autonomy” and “this world is not our home. ” To some it may be telling that Ars Morta’s ongoing series at Bunkr Paruká?ka has recently hosted musical projects with names like Brutophilia and Napalmed. All of which is part of an agenda that Novak describes this way: “To promote and present the electronic industrial scene in the vast and colorful variety of its styles and sub-genres … ranging from heavy power electronics via dark-ambient death-industrial and orchestral-industrial turntablism and integrated music to subtle electronic microscapes. ”Since its inception in the shadowy corners of what Novak calls “the wolf-den underground” industrial has been one of rock music’s most prolific research and development facilities. In hindsight industrial’s impulse can be heard in synth-pop heavy metal post-punk ambient and techno. Yet industrial’s initial impact was not without serious misgivings.
