Opus Day
Opus Day with Rip Robbins is a sound collage, a compendium of recordings, mostly music, but also word pieces, found sounds, and bits of popular culture. The playlist is derived from my lifetime of listening: finding compatibility, having fun with juxtaposition, and exploring the feeling of synthesis within unexpected connections. And so often, the experience becomes extra dimensional when wearing headphones, which I strongly suggest...every hour is different, I hope you will enjoy the many forms ... (08:00 PM - 09:00 PM PT)

Dirty Laundry

But one thing is for sure, something is bound to move you. From KXCR, 90.7 FM in Florence, Oregon. (11:00 PM - 12:00 AM PT)
