Radio stations - I-80, I-680, I-880

Driving from Sacramento to Santa Cruz offers a few regional radio stations which I enjoy listening to:

  • KVHS (90.5 FM, "The Edge") - broadcasting at 410 watts out of Clayton Valley Charter High School, Concord, California
    • Callsign meaning: (K)layton (V)alley (H)igh (S)chool
    • Coverage map
  • KPFA (94.1 FM) - broadcasting at 59,000 watts out of Berkeley, California
Listened to KVHS on previous trips but missed them last night. 

Listened to KPFA last night around 9:30 p.m. and heard a portion of the second hour of a program La Onda Bajita, called "Radio Cafe" (which may occur only one Friday per month), hosted by a DJ called Little Miguel. He interviewed an artist out of the Bay Area called The Genie, an "avant garde per­form­ing artist and gui­tar loop­ing innovator from San Francisco" who innovates with a technique called "Scratch Guitar." The Genie has a collaborative album in development with the working title "Time Being." The live drum & bass tracks around the 1:28:00 mark caught my ear - he did a nice mix of DJ Rino “Essential Beats” (?) & REM's "Losing My Religion," and a "Bassnectar “Yo”/Radiohead “Creep” gmix. The Genie works with J Wiliams as produced (Jaz Hoo). Deuce Eclipse may have assisted with the drum and bass song (?)

Later in the show featured the first cousin of Leonard Peletier, "DJ Free Leonard Peletier".
