look, i like getting lectured in between cuts by experts in their musical fields. thats why last night (not his regular time slot) i listened to phil schaap yang on in a single show history of jazz. one show but there was still time for an exhaustive discussion on king oliver, louis armstrong and new orleans. my terrestrial reception wasnt cutting it so i checked and wkcr columbia univ does have a website with online streaming. with further exploration i found phil schaaps selected archives with in depth focuses on louis armstrong, bix beiderbecke and ornette coleman. im going to guess and say the mlk show is a in depth general history of jazz. schaap is very very knowledgeable on his subject and the shows come off as scholarly lectures. even repetitive playing of the same song pointing out the different solos and band members proformances, dates, location, etc.

will the commercial interruptions be too frequent and will the programing be too repetitive? very good programing and cd quality stream could justify a vip subscription.
It's been more than twenty-five years since Tom Wolfe became America's most widely read architecture critic with his 1981 best-seller, From Bauhaus to Our House, perhaps the most ill-informed book ever written about architecture. Time has dimmed neither its splenetic malice nor joyful ignorance, but what about the 75-year-old Wolfe himself? To find out, I went up to Columbia University recently to hear him participate in a symposium on New York City architecture.the november '06 nyt opinion piece
To get along in life, everybody needs pretty much the same thing — but not exactly the same thing.
That's the problem given historical shape by "Modernism: Designing a New World, 1914-1939," the vast, thought-provoking show opening Saturday at the Corcoran. It touches on virtually every art form, from drawing and painting to cinema and dance. But because the show originated at the Victoria and Albert Museum, one of the world's great repositories of design and decorative arts, the more populist media — architecture, design, graphic art — resonate loudest.
