all-nyahbinghi radio program -- stream runs until Jan. 19 -- KDHX.org St. Louis, MO

Inviting you to check out the January 5, 2013 broadcast of "Positive Vibrations" (KDHX 88.1 FM St. Louis, MO). My first radio show of the year is annually an all-nyahbinghi program, a very grounding way to begin a new year. As you'll see from the playlist below, it's a blend of traditional binghi and roots reggae & dub heavy with nyahbinghi drums with tunes from 1961-2012.

Catch the stream of the program until January 19 @ KDHX.org/positivevibrations. "Positive Vibrations" is co-hosted by Professor Skank & Michael Kuelker, who alternate broadcasts, and it airs every Saturday night from 9-11 p.m. CST.

Totally awesome playlist. So sorry I could not make the show. I know I would have loved it.

I saved this to listen to at work today -
nice tunes but extremely chatty chatty....

"Nice"? No, man. That music is dread, but you have to have ears to hear (too bad for you). And yes, we on "Positive Vibrations" do a local reggae scene report lasting all of three minutes at a quarter after each hour. Without apologies. Info you can get from no other single source. That community radio, baby.

huh. nice is a compliment, maybe not the exact "irie" word you might use but a compliment nonetheless. Why feel the need to insult me "but you have to have ears to hear (too bad for you). "?? I listened to the whole show and enjoyed it.
Chatty Chatty - facts are facts regardless of the lame excuse you may throw out. And there is a break after every other song, either a station announcement or you prattling on. Just play the music, like the show that follows (the Greatful Dead stuff) where whole sets were played without blah blah blah.

wow, what a jerkish response....
and yes, given the opportunity, i could do a better job than the play 2 songs/blather format you use.

in my first post I was merely pointing out the show is chatty-chatty, which you confirmed. How is it trollish to comment on what you
yourself state...IDing songs and PSAs are, as you say, a part of public radio. Playing 2 songs at a time and then breaking in so you can hear your own voice should not be part of public radio.


I still like the tunes you played (except that Sizzla growler) and hearing a whole show livicated to Nyahbinghi is always a treat. Thank you for that.
