Here’s what’s coming up on SONGS FROM HERE AND THERE, THEN AND NOW on Friday, August 14.

This week’s show will begin, as usual, with the Mutant Pop Obituaries, our weekly nod to those celebrities and artists who have shuffled off this mortal coil during the past few weeks.  This week, we will pay tribute to (in no particular order):

• Les Paul, guitar god and recording pioneer
• Indian actor Murali
• Baatin, rapper with Detroit hip-hop act Slum Village
• Billy Lee Riley, rockabilly great
• Mike Seeger,banjoist and musical folklorist
• Indonesian overnight sensation Mbah Surip
• Andy Parle, drummer for alternative band Space
• British folk singer Stanley Robertson
• Oscar-winning screenwriter Budd Schulberg
• Bollywood composer Gulshan Bawra
• Willy DeVille, founder of late ’70s punk band Mink DeVille
• Renato Pagliari, who scored a 1980s hit as half of Renee and Renato
• Iconic film director/writer John Hughes
• Armenian singer Aram Tigran
  

Additionally, Craven will be playing new music by the like of Joe Pernice, Cheap Trick and Lightning Dust, as well as the usual ultra-super-mega-wide mix of pop music from many different eras and many different locales.

You can hear SONGS FROM HERE AND THERE, THEN AND NOW on kafmradio.org starting at 9 am (U.S. Mountain Time).
