A Vashon Minute

Monday Noon

Vashon Island Film Festival

Along with all the other fantastic performing and visual arts on Vashon, we now have a budding film industry. Behind that industry is the Vashon Film Institute (VFI), producers of the Vashon Island Film Festival (VIFF) which is hosting its fourth year August 7 to 10 at the Vashon Theatre.

Tune in as host Susan McCabe talks with VFI Founder Mark Sayre and VFI Director of Strategy and Development Rich Hazzard about the upcoming film festival, its movies, the moviemakers who bring the films and all the fun audience members will have watching and judging the films in competition. And -- volunteers who help with the festival get free passes to the entire event. More information can be had at vashonfilminstitute.com

ALL REQUEST THANK YOU SHOW!

A solid hour of requests by Alt Vashon listeners who stepped up with a purchase of at least one $80 bonus pack of Voice of Vashon raffle tix. Grand prize is a shopping spree at Vashon Thriftway. No rules!

The ballers who put down their 80 bucks call the requests and Bill plays 'em. It ain't all alternative. Totally unlike your standard Alt Vashon weekly show. Enjoy!

Boogie Back to Texas

Wednesday, 6-7 PM

Good and Bad

Good in a song title doesn’t necessarily mean it is a happy tune; often it is a break-up song. Sometimes good means bad and bad means good, and other times those words are just as advertised. Tune in as Boogie Back host Geoff Fletcher tees up some examples and delves into good and bad, aurally and cosmically. We have some rock and roll from the Arc Angels and Steve Earle, and some advice from Roy Oribson, Guy Clark and Jeffrey Martin. Robert Earl Keen and Lightnin Hopkins are true to the words good and bad, and we rock out the door with Ray Wylie Hubbard, a Sheryl Crow/Joe Walsh duet and a bit of autobiography from Stephen Stills. It’s all good.

Sunday Silence

Sunday, 11 – midnight

On the Battlefield

From within our age of the militarized use of sound, of sonic warfare—which Steve Goodman defines as the use of force via acoustic machines to modulate bodies and populations—this episode is something very humble: a deep acknowledgement of the many ways in which underground and experimental Black Atlantic music culture offers us the opportunity to hear the world otherwise, to encounter something literally unheard of. This episode of SUNDAY SILENCE, then, does nothing more than look around the sonic battlefield, clutching this acknowledgement close to its chest—and listens. Featuring favorites old and new from Dedekind Cut, Kelman Duran, Qur'an Shaheed, Ashley Holmes, Niecy Blues, and fragments from Little Egypt Collective’s 2024 short film, On the Battlefield.
