This Weekend on Coyote Radio

Howdy Coyotistas!

Weekend #3 for our experimental community radio station, KYXS - AM 1670 - This weekend on Coyote Radio you can hear: Saturday and Sunday (all times are approximate)

(7 am) DJ Leslie Stevens' Route 66 Rockit Radio Show - This Ash Fork, AZ resident makes a syndicated show of alt-pop from the '60's. The Big Boss Sound of Route 66!

(8 am) Democracy Now! - Amy Goodman and company return with another dose of news that doesn't originate at Spin Central. This weekend, Will Conservative Republicans Back McCain? Following Romney's Departure, John McCain Appears Set to Become GOP Nominee; also Examining Clinton & Obama's Stances on the Subprime Mortgage Crisis, Universal Healthcare, Privatizing Social Security and Nuclear Energy.

KYXS, Coyote Radio, is the only radio partner of Democracy Now! in Yavapai County.

(9 am) In For Questioning - from Studio A in The Raven Cafe building - Angie Johnson-Schmit interviews the riveting new hard-boiled crime fiction writer, Christa Faust. Her novelization of "Snakes on a Plane" surprised many critics by making that slight plotline sustain over more words than can be fit on a cocktail napkin.

Her upcoming novel, "Money Shot" is even better, a stunner set in the adult film industry. Tune in for the interview show that goes beyond "just the facts, m'am."

(9:30 am) Coyote Radio Theater - "SeaMonkeys" and "Kyla Jackson, Temp Spy - Episode #1"
Two audience favorites
- a twisted commercial from the Smoke and Mirrors Division at GlobeCo, makers and exploiters of nearly everything. Followed by one woman's attempt to make it in a world full of dopey superspys and amorous idiots in mask and tights.

(9:45 am) Baseball History - Our announcer, Bob Wright, leads us once again through the hallowed halls of the National Pastime.

(10:00 am) Out of the Past: Investigating Film Noir - Clute and Edwards are waiting for you in the darkness - this time with an exploration of Rian Johnson's excellent debut, "Brick" - setting a tightly wound mystery filled with Chandleresque language in the mouths of teens slouching through the mean streets of contemporary high school life.

(10:45 am) "Masharama" - from Studio A in The Raven Cafe building - This DJ show explores the new musical form of mash-ups, strange new songs created by ripping apart existing songs,mixing and matching the basslines, vocals, guitars, etc. until a surprising new song rises up from the mixing board. The Beatles singing over Slashes guitar? Abba and the Bunnymen? Check it out and be hipper than your friends.

(11:45 am) Prescott Arts Beat - from Studio A in The Raven Cafe building - Kitchen Manager and Alt-Rock Guitar Hero Ben Dickey talks about reinventing the hamburger on SuperBurger Wednesdays at The Raven Cafe. Includes Andrew's 5 Big Questions.

(12:45 pm) "Secret Agent Mon" from Studio A in The Raven Cafe building - This DJ show imagines a movie of international espionage featuring a rasta action hero, a latina demolitions expert and a Khmer singing femme fatale with a black belt in love. This would be the soundtrack of that movie.

(1:45 pm) Citrus Valley Playhouse - radio theatre from Mesa, AZ - "Elliott Power" has returned to Citrus Valley, Arizona. Sometimes he wonders why. Life was good in California where he wrote movies for silent screen cowboys. Set during the golden age of radio, The Life and Times of Elliot Power is a comedy-drama which focuses on the meaning of home, family, and the wonderful insanity of living in the Valley of the Sun. Writer/Director/Voice Actor

Brian Nissen is a wonderful new voice in American NTR. You may have seen him and his group during their month long stand at the Elks Opera House last year. Like what you hear? Check out their new tribute to Wallace and Ladmo.

(2:15 pm) Lord Peter Wimsey - "Cloud of Witness - episode #1" a radio theatre adaptation of Dorothy L. Sayers' second novel, involving our intrepid , if languid, upper crust sleuth and a murder that threatens to explode the quiet of an english country house.

(2:45 pm) DJ Leslie Stevens' Route 66 Rockit Radio Show - This Ash Fork, AZ resident makes a syndicated show of alt-pop from the '60's. The Big Boss Sound of Route 66!
