    Star Wars Radio Talk with Captain Phil

    After reading yesterday’s panegyric and screed about the rise and fall of Skywalker, Phil Merkel invited me on to his radio show, Captain Phil’s Planet, to continue in that vein this afternoon, beginning around 3:40 EDT.

    There will be about a half-hour of jawboning about Jawas and tunes from Tatooine, as Cap and I travel back to our collective youth, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far way, to reminisce about what it was like to see “Star Wars” in the theater in 1977.

    See you there, dorks!

    Ukrainian Composers on WUSB Radio Today

    Phil Merkel of Captain Phil’s Planet has been very kind in inviting me onto his radio show this afternoon on WUSB – the radio station of Stony Brook University – to talk a bit about composers and musicians of Ukraine.

    So I’ll be dropping by around 3:30/3:40 EST. Maybe we’ll even get to enjoy some music by Valentin Silvestrov and Mikola Lysenko. This is free-form radio, mind you, so if you tune in a little early, you might get an earful of Ukrainian metal! (It’s primarily a prog rock show.)

    Then stick around! At 4:00, Roy Bjellquist will join us to help drum up interest in tomorrow night’s program of classic television themes on our Facebook livestream, Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner.

    Just putting it out there, in case you’re interested. You’ll get to hear us babble about music a bit. Maybe you’ll even have your interest piqued, so that you’ll want to check out some of the composers and performers who have contributed to making Ukraine such a rich cultural resource.

    Follow the link, and click on the little silver button at the upper left-hand side of the screen, beneath the station’s call letters:
