Flotation Device interview with Anna Thorvaldsdottir
Flotation Device interview with Anna Thorvaldsdottir
If Björk is Iceland’s best-known pop singer, then Anna Thorvaldsdottir is its best-known composer, noted for her visceral music that conveys—in its own distinctive way—the sounds of the sea and the mountains that surrounded her growing up in a small coastal town. She joined Flotation Device host Michael Schell to talk about her two new recordings, her early influences, her current projects, and the role of Björk on putting Icelandic music on the map.
DJ Chairman Moe Appreciation Post
DJ ChairmanMoe has been a part of the KBCS family since 2009, when his first show “Recycled Music” made its debut. At the time, the theme was Cover Tunes, and his show featured the music you loved, just not the way you remember hearing it. It was a good run but the show seemed to lose a little steam. In 2017, a format change was due and (at the encouragement of KBCS management) a new show format was launched under the title, Chairman Moe, with a focus on 80’s music, deep-diving into the world of post punk, early goth, power pop, garage/jangle and anything else that doesn’t typically appear on a AI-generated playlist from a corporate service.
