On the Musicology show next week, I will feature the collected works of Latin-American jazz fusion guitar player: Al Di Meola. We’re going to start at the beginning of his career as member of Chick Corea’s band Return to Forever, and move to his solo works. Expect to hear sounds from Return to Forever’s album: Romantic Warrior, as well as Di Meola’s Elegant Gypsy, This is Jazz, Friday Night in San Francisco (Featuring Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia), and The Infinite Desire.

Matt Pond PA – The Dark Leaves
If you weren’t able to make it to Harris Field last Friday, then you missed out. In retrospect, the phrase “weather permitting” would have been grossly inappropriate. (Well, the main reason for this is that had the weather been iffy, the show would have moved to the Wolves’ Den, but what I mean to say is that the weather was as close to perfect as it gets.)
Chapel Hill trio Aminal took the stage first, a little after 6:30. Just as expected, they proved true to form and lit the place up, and gained a couple hundred fans in the process. Raleigh quintet Bright Young Things (who, by way of interest, features three NC State grads) finished the night off in grand fashion to an appreciative crowd and a pretty sweet sunset.
This show was the fourth installment of what will hopefully be a long line of many free on-campus concerts presented by the NC State Union Activities Board, the Inter Residence Council, and WKNC.

EOT 4/11: preview
Tune in to Eye on the Triangle today a 7 p.m. for your weekly news and sports roundup, inevitably controversial editorial topic, an in-depth segment on food stamps and a, off-the-runway discussion of Wednesday’s Art to Wear event with two designers.
You might now have heard of the Food and Nutrition Service, but you probably recognize the concept behind food stamps. Dating back to 1939, FNS has helped low- or no-income citizens obtain nutritious foods. This federal agency has the largest budget – and fewest staff members – within the Department of Agriculture. But who is actually eligible for food stamps? How are they appropriated, and what can you buy with them? This week’s VIP delves into the idea behind and use of food stamps. We talk to people close to the issue, including an NCSU graduate who survives on food stamps.
Art to Wear, a collaborative event started in 2002 by the colleges of Textiles and Design, grew too big for its student-made britches last April, when it moved from the Court of Carolinas to Reynolds Coliseum, which seats more than 1,000 people. We’ll get the inside scoop from two designers whose work will be featured on the runway Wednesday night. The show starts at 7:30 p.m.
Inflowential stopped into the WKNC studio last Friday to talk about their upcoming show at Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival, their first LP (on the way…), an imminent move, and to thank everyone they’ve ever met.
DJ Kligz and I had a grand time chatting it up with them and spinning some of their music, so have a listen below.
In our inaugural episode of SoundOff, Michael, Sarah, and Kirsten talk about Isaac Brock writing new material for a Cartoon Network show. They discussed The Libertines reunion and the impact of Pete Doherty’s criminal record. The three discussed what The White Stripes would have been without Seven Nation Army as their lead single. This week they reviewed the latest release by Matt Pond PA, titled The Dark Leaves.
Last night on “Saturday Night Soul and R&B”, I had the pleasure of speaking with Chilli of the Grammy award winning, legendary and iconic R&B trio, TLC.
In the revealing interview, we discussed her new reality show, “What Chilli Wants,” her relationship with ex-flame R&B singer Usher, her love for Michael Jackson and so much more.
