This week on “Pathways to the Sacred” I speak with three guests about the upcoming Reggae on the Mountain festival in Swannanoa. We discuss Rastafarianism, the spiritual basis of reggae music, and the royal bloodline of Emperor Haile Sallassie.
Listen Sunday 10/7/07 at 3:00pm and Monday 10/8/07 at 5:00pm to “Pathways to the Sacred.
Tune in the The Cut tonight at 10:00 pm right after Drop Beats Not Bombs with Molly and Michelle.
We’ll be showcasing DJ sets from local legends Big Ted, Sysex, Celestial Business, and Choenyi. The gang has a new weekly residency Tuesday nights down at the New French Bar. We’ll be hearing what went down on Tuesday October 2. The event was broadcast live on the Internet. If you missed your chance to get down it’s not too late.
The Cut is a showcase of electronic music, which strives to highlight underrepresented experimental electronic artists. While the program is coordinated locally, in Asheville, and has featured many live, in-studio performances from regional musicians; the show is hosted internationally on a rotation basis by about a group of DJs, who are spread out over a half-dozen countries, including Chile, The UK, The Netherlands, and Slovenia.
Playlists for all the WPVM shows are now displayed on our homepage and archived for reference in the show archives section.
The Listen Live section of the homepage now displays the show that is currently on-air live, the host of the program, and what is playing right now.

Join Brian for THE STRANGE BOUTIQUE Friday night beginning at 9pm for amazing music from the past and present. Expect lots of psychedelia from many different genres. We groove, we rock, we get downright weird at times, but most of all we entertain and expand for 4 solid hours!!!
Program Note: The “Cheese at 11″ segment will be on hiatus throughout the month of October, as I think we’ve all had so much cheese that we’re probably a bit “backed up”. That said, you can still expect a dose or two of cheesy sounds to appear at some point during the show as Brian wouldn’t have it any other way!
Additionally, a big THANKS goes out to Stephen Kirbach of Stunt-Cypher-Mayhem for guest hosting The Strange Boutique last week while Brian washed his hair.

Mash ups are two or more songs mixed together to create a special new song. Each week, Easy Mark hosts lots of audio mash ups for your listening pleasure.
The Crossover Segment is an Afternoon Slacken inclusive feature which highlights another WPVM show-host. This week, get to know Jeff Davis, of Word Play (a show on poetry and writers - Sundays at 4 PM, Tuesdays at 6 PM, and Wednesdays at 7AM).
And the last word, a musically remixed commentary from Mumia Abu Jamal – “Why War Begins.”
