Fairfield poet Tony Ellis, author of "There is Wisdom in Walnuts," will discuss his

work in process resulting from a weeks-long retreat at Soul Mountain writers' retreat.  Soul Mountain was founded by poet Marilyn Nelson in rural Connecticut and is sponsored by the University of Connecticut.  It offers residencies for up to four writers at a time.  “When my book of poems about the scientist-saint George Washington Carver started to bear surprising fruit, I suddenly had enough money for a down-payment on a childhood dream. ...[Now,] poems not my own are being written under my roof. My guest book is filled with gratitude. So am I."

It's The Filmosophers Movie Talk Show, with Chris Busch & Bruce Miller. The Wachowski Brother's created one of our all-time fave films: THE MATRIX. So we've been anticipating their latest creation: SPEED RACER for many months. Currently only 37% of the reviews available on Rottentomatoes.com are positive. The consensus: "Overloaded with headache-inducing effects and without a coherent script." Ouch! Looks like SPEED RACER is no IRON MAN, which is held-over at the Co-Ed Theatre in Fairfield. There are now 178 reviews of IRON MAN on Rottentomatoes, 165 are positive. That's a whopping 93% approval rating for a comic book movie. Filmosopher's co-host Chris Busch will add his review Friday. He'll also tell us about the other film showing at the Co-Ed: the critically O.K.ed (84%) FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL, a romantic and raunchy disaster
comedy produced by Judd Apatow, the same team that made such hits as THE 40-YEAR-OLD
VIRGIN and KNOCKED UP.  read more »

It's just the lone Hipster on today's H&H, but don't let that get'cha down! I've got some blazin' tracks by electro-house kingpin David Guetta, the classy trance of DJ Tiesto, the Bodyrockin' beats of Moby, the French-core movement pioneers, a.k.a Daft Punk, and of course, the blog-worthy hype of the new Pavement-esque Tape's N' Tapes.

It'll be an unimaginable journey, and it all starts at 5 P.M. tonight; don't be afraid to request!

hope to see you there.

New music live and in the studio today. Let's celebrate spring and Mother's Day and blooming plants and sunshine and trees and small children laughing and puffy clouds and, and , and , well, everything!

Can't be beat.

Hey y'all. In honor of mothers everywhere, and especially mine, this week on Crooked Sisters Radio Hour I'm featuring Mom's Top Picks.

My dear mother faithfully listens to the show online every week and every week she calls me and gives me her favorite songs of the show. Awhile back I decided to start compiling a list and do a show in her honor. It's by no means a conclusive list (it's only a two hour show, folks!) but she's got some choice taste in music, that's for sure. It's been a lot of fun for me introducing my mother to new music, as well as bringing back some old memories for her. Join me, your host Lauryn Shapter, this Thursday from 10 to noon for some great roots and Americana music, at least according to Mom. And Happy Mother's Day to all you mamas out there.

Join host Ken Malloy as he talks with Colombian-born Sonia Luz Vera about her occupation as translator, her role as mother to two teenagers and wife to her husband, as well as host of her own KRUU Spanish-speaking program La Hora Latina.

Another great chance to Get to Know Your Neighbor.

Thursdays at 1pm CST

[Rebroadcast Tuesdays at 8am]

Dear Listeners:   This week once again, though briefly, we examine this hocus pocus doctrine of a pre-tribulation rapture.  The Scriptures have it not in them, Revelation 7 "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes,[cleansed] and palms in their hands;[prayers of thanksgiving].  And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.....These are they which came out of [the] great tribulation, and have washed their robes,[coverings] and made them white[clean hearts] in the blood of the Lamb.....And when he had opened the seventh seal,[the last one] there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God;  and to them were given seven trumpets. And another angel came and stood at the alter, having a golden censer;  and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer [it] with the prayers of all saints upon the golden alter which was before the throne.  read more »
