From Compost to seed to root to bloom to seed to compost...Hey, tonight on the Electric Compost Heap on KDRT 95.7FM, Dug Deep will be joined by his timeslotmate, Jess Goddèsse for a fundraiser-themed, combined version of their respective radio shows, sort of an Electric Divine Compost Intervention Heap, if you will.  Whatever it is, they will be doing it tonight so please join them and consider making a donation to community radio for Davis CA!

Lots of other musical compostables as well, and the official color of tonight's show is green!

Local filmmakers Glenda and Jesse Drew join Dug Deep in the KDRT studio to discuss their film Open Country, a documentary about the history and politics of country music. It features interviews with Billy Bragg, Hazel Dickens, Jon Langford and Pete Seeger, to name just a few. The movie will be screened at Odd Fellows Hall, 2nd and D streets in downtown Davis, on Sunday, March 10 at 6 p.m. This screening is a benefit for KDRT with tickets available here.

Tonight (Feb. 9) at 6 p.m. on the Electric Compost Heap, DJ Dug Deep remembers Wayne Kramer and Mojo Nixon, two iconoclastic artists who both left us recently.
