Last week's Wild Kingdom playlist for the special feature "The Sounds of 
Machines Our Parents Used" is at 
http://www.kfjc.org/music/playlist.php?i=30174 . I obviously needed 
another hour or so, but made do with the time I had. Maybe I'll run a 
second part after all the Mayhem dust settles.

This week starts a 3-part special called "Acid Burns Los Altos Hills", a 
brief survey course on things acidic. At ten hours total, there's only 
time to give a taste... The first part runs tonight from 11P-3A PDST 
(GMT - 8 hours). As is entirely appropriate, I start in Chicago circa 
1985 and take a look at some of the early movers and shakers in the 
Chicago acid house scene, moving on to the UK acid house explosion of 
1988 - early 90's.

Next week's bit will deal briefly with the intersection of Lowlands New 
Beat and Acid House, and take a look at some  artists and trends in the 
Lowlands and Germany. If time permits, I may throw in some 
second-generation UK acid tracks. I'll talk more about that later next 
week as the segment shapes up


  "The Wild Kingdom" airs on KFJC-FM 89.7, Saturday night/Sunday 
Morning, 12A-3A (7A-10A GMT). The webcast is at www.kfjc.org (follow the 
links). Present and past Wild Kingdom playlists are also archived there. 
You can also check out archived playlists from my first KFJC show "Just 
Desserts" that aired on Fridays 10P-2A from 1992 through 1999. Archived 
playlists exist for that show starting from Fall 1995 to New Year's Eve 
1999/2000.

If you do tune in (especially via the web), please take a little time to 
let me know your locale. I'm also interested in promo music from all 
over and in promoting local (San Francisco Bay area) techno-type events. 
If you want to do some fairly serious promotion, contact the KFJC 
promotions department at xxxxx@xxxx.xxx to arrange ticket giveaways 
and/or to send information for inclusion in our concert outlook. Thanks 
to those who have sent promo music so far.
