Accordion.

From Lawrence Welk, Klezmer and Balkan tunes to electronic music and noise, and
oh-so-much more, join us in some celebratory accordion adoration and perhaps a live performance or two.

That’s Monday night, September 10th at 9pm, on the next Mental Notes.

No accordions will be harmed in the making of this presentation.

September 5, 2007 by onair

What are mash ups? They are two or more songs mixed together to create a special new song. Each week, Easy Mark hosts lots of custom mash ups for your listening pleasure. Click here to listen to Afternoon Slacken on your computer now.

Also in this episode, hear an interview with Debi Athos, founder of Pure Food Partners Organicfest. On Saturday, September 8th come celebrate and go green with great food, organic beer, live music, gift baskets, and free events from 10AM-6PM in downtown Asheville. Learn how we can support organic farmers who practice the means to a sustainable food supply in the face of impending crises such as honeybee hive collapse, pesticide/herbicide saturation, and plant extinction caused by genetically modified “food.”

“Won’t somebody please think of the children.”
- Maude Flanders

Sunday September 9th, All day long. You KNOW the Lexington Avenue Arts and Fun Festival is the best festival in town. WPVM will be there and will be sharing a booth with a new audio documenting project: Storyville. Storyville is a community journalism project striving to build better community through dialogue, story development, and creative news coverage.

Storyville will provide a quiet space and a facilitator to record your personal story or interview. Spacing out on what to ask? No problem! Storyville will also provide you with questions and prompts. When you are done, ask about how you can get a copy of your interview. From personal and family stories, folk tales, local history, characters, and issues, to contemporary stories about the local environment and traditional stories from cultural groups…Everyone’s got a story, so come share yours with Storyville at the Lexington Avenue Arts Festival.
