This special edition contains a variety of songs and artists that call themselves “dub,” and also some dub.

Set up your tuning forks, cover up your singing bowls, and dim the lights for today we are presenting Good Vibrations, featuring xylophones, marimbas, glockenspiels, and other bar-and-mallet-driven instruments of sonic production.

Get ready to pulse and thrum with tonight’s special presentation of Good Vibrations, a collection of music featuring xylophones, marimbas, glockenspiels, and other such timbral delights. It gets jazzy, and loungey, but there are also some curveballs in there and some very specific favorites.

To the listeners voicing strong opinions about the adorably shrill kids’ story that runs at the top of The Final Hour — your notes have been passed on to Management.

It's Member Drive time, and nothing says "support your community radio station" louder than three hours of Dub Night. Not a whole lot of funding was raised, but no matter! Three hours of heavy bass rhythms were played.

Time has not dulled the edge of this band. "Show Me The Sun" highlights their psychedelic side.
