The final show of the redneck livin’, country-punk playin’, and the generally offensive (and satirical) Behemoth Experience. Thursday, June 14th at Muddy Waters Cafe in downtown Santa Barbara (508 East Haley Street), starting at 7pm.
This event will be broadcast live on KCSB from 10pm to 12am on “5…4…3…2…fun!” with Hoshwa! (Also on the card, but not on the air: the psychedelic space rock of The C-Legs, and the rock steady love revolution of The Escalades.) Tune in for this historic live event! 10pm, Thursday!
Congratulations to KCSB “Bluesland” host Leo Schumaker for being one of the featured Blues DJs in the “Blues Radio III” issue of Big City Rhythm & Blues Magazine (Feb.-March 2007). “Bluesland” can be heard weekly from 6-8am on Wednesdays.

Olympus America Inc. recently announced the 2007 winners in its “Innovation Award Program”: recipients included KCSB’s own William Grant, who works here at the University of California, Santa Barbara. “The program recognizes individuals who have fostered and demonstrated innovative thinking in higher education,” says the Olympus website. 
Bill Grant is the program manager of the Technology Management Program at UCSB’s College of Engineering. He “received the Olympus Emerging Leader Award for his work at UCSB creating and managing extracurricular activities that enable students to network and share knowledge and experience with successful scientists, entrepreneurs, innovators and other business experts.” Bill was especially acknowledged for his KCSB radio program, “On the Edge” (Wednesdays this spring quarter from 10-11am): “Created and hosted by Grant and UCSB students, the weekly show features successful entrepreneurs and innovators and discusses how ideas become inventions. In recognition for his work, Grant…receive[d] $1,000.”
Congratulations are in order to Bill Grant and to the entire crew of “On the Edge” for this accomplishment.
Since Latin American Journal host Corey Dubin, a leading AIDS activist, speaks soon at a rally for affordable health care for all (De La Guerra Plaza, starting at 5pm), Dick Flacks’ show, “Culture of Protest,” will be on from 6-8pm. Tonight, Professor Dick Flacks will be featuring several new albums that are major musical contributions to the culture of protest. Flacks says, “One is Ry Cooder’s amazing ‘Buddy the Cat’; and there’s the great Abbey Lincoln’s brand new collection of her songs, and other things as well.”
