Next Up

We're getting revved for our next show featuring Ralph Alessi and This Against That.

Monday, November 9, 2009 at the Kate Buchanan Room on the campus of Humboldt State University.

So Long, Wayne

RJA folks and members of the Humboldt State University mourn the untimely passing of our friend Wayne Knight. He died last week of complications from the flu.

In the immortal words of Todd Rundgren: a wizard, a true star. Wayne designed our logo and we love him for that.

He was a great guy and we will miss him terribly.

Top Ten Lists

Brother Michael urges us to turn our thoughts to the annual list-a-thon. As it's also getting on nigh the end of the decade, we might also be thinking of the top ten of the last ten years, too.

James Hale jumps the gun.

Moi, I have a weird hunch that once I hear the rest of Ben Sidran's Dylan Different (I heard one cut on Mike Stratton's Sunday night radio show on WLNZ), I'm going to want that CD in my top ten.

Same goes for Ben Allison's new release, Think Free.

For now, all I know for sure is that Ron Horton's it's a gadget world is somewhere between numbers 1 and 5.
