Pork and Beats--Now Downloadable
The most recent installment in WXYC's Live Backyard BBQ series occurred Friday, May 5 at the Local 506. If you missed the show, which featured Transportation, Nathan Asher and the Infantry, The Physics of Meaning, and Eyes to Space, you can now download MP3s of the show from the Backyard BBQ Home Page.

Only A Year Late
After much waiting and anticipation, we finally give you a web-only version of our newsletter. The new In/Audible/Online is now posted for your reading pleasure. Many thanks to all who contributed. Click here to begin reading.

New New Science Experience Page!
The New Science Experience, WXYC's beats-oriented program, has a new web page at http://www.wxyc.org/nse that provides news about the show AND downloadable archives of past shows. Check out the new page, and be sure to listen to the New Science Experience every Sunday from 10pm-midnight Eastern time.

Spring 2006 Schedule
Looking for your favorite show or DJ? The WXYC Spring 2006 Schedule is now online here for your perusal. Many DJs have moved around the grid, and there will be two new programs on the air this semester.

The first new show is Global Music, which will occur the last Friday of each month from 5pm to 6pm and will feature music from one region of the world with commentary from a UNC professor who is an expert on that region.

The second new program will be broadcast every other Sunday from 5pm to 6pm. The show is called the Sunday Surprise, and although even we don't know exactly what to expect, there will almost certainly be a healthy dose of Rebellious Jukebox, in which two DJs put their iPods on shuffle and battle head-to-head. You, the listener, decide who leaves the ring victorious in the face-off.

MP3ville!
MP3s of performances by Ahleuchatistas, Jett Rink, Strange, and Dr Powerful are available for download on the Backyard BBQ web page! These recordings were made on October 2nd at the Local 506 during our most recent on-location Backyard BBQ. Click here to go to the Backyard BBQ page and download the MP3s.

Many thanks to the bands for granting their permission to post these files!

WXYC Dominates the Triangle
WXYC, UNC, and the Triangle music scene received recognition in the recent Rolling Stone article "Schools that Rock." You can read the section about North Carolina here. The article's intro page is here.

There was also an article in the News & Observer on August 28th about Triangle radio stations that heaped further praise upon us. You can read that article here.
