The Silverman from Legendary Pink Dots on WTC 11/22/08!
 

A VERY, very special What's This Called? for Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 finds your host Ricardo Wang joined in the KPSU studio by none other than Phil Knight AKA The Silverman, keyboardist and electronics programmer for The Legendary Pink Dots!

Tune in for a special two hour program from Noon to 2 PM Pacific Time (that's 9-10 PM back at Phil's home in Amsterdam!) for a live in studio with this musical experimenter of mythic proportions. Playing live, interviewing, and sharing rare tracks off of his personal ipod! Chris McBeth of The Silverman's record label Beta-lactam Ring Records will also be in attendance, so the 2 hours will likely evaporate quickly.

As always we'll be STREAMING LIVE RIGHT HERE!

or on the radio in the Portland vicinity via:

1450 AM for the Portland OR/Vancouver WA metro area
98.1 FM on the Portland State University campus

Be sure not to miss what will be perhaps the biggest live in studio performance ever in the 13+ year history of What's This Called?

What's CZ?

Ah, no. I've actually only managed to see them live once and don't have nearly as much of their material as I'd like to (though I have more side project stuff than I even do of the official band through BLR and it's all pretty amazing). They are definitely one of my top 5 favorite groups but it's a much more recent occurrence than Sonic Youth or Sun Ra who I've been into for ages. I've really only been getting heavy into the Dots since 2002, and there is so much catching up to do!
