The KFJC Psychotronix Film Festival will present an evening of short movies, all on 16mm film - the vinyl of visuals. 

Old commercials, forgotten cartoons, previews from ancient movies, weird holiday short subjects. Strange and unusual bits from our cinematic past.
You will want to see the Psychotronix- for the history, for the hysteria, for the histrionics. You'll laugh and wonder how it was that this corner of culture could ever have escaped your attention. 
See the shocking, eye-staggering truth, the follies and foibles, the catchy tunes, and the tidal waves of terror that are all part of the KFJC Psychotronix Film Festival.

interesting game, they will each buy their own vinyl and disguise the record
information and play to win points.  Since Max was caught cheating last year, an
impartial judge, Hemroid the Leader, will join. What's the prize? Pasta? A bowl of
crispy cereal? Tune in and find out.

DJ Albion Moonlight looks at the careers of two stalwart tenor players,
Lucky Thompson and Fred Anderson.   
Thompson started in the swing era but then worked with Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, 
Charles Mingus and other pioneers of bebop.
Anderson started playing in the bop idiom but quickly moved to free jazz after hearing Ornette Coleman.
In 2001, author John Litweiler called Anderson "the finest tenor saxophonist in free jazz/underground jazz/outside jazz today."
