"... side by side with the human race runs another race of beings, the inhuman ones, the race of artists who guided by unknown impulses, take the lifeless mass of humanity and by the fever and ferment with which they imbue it turn this soggy dough into bread and the bread into wine and the wine into song..."

September 11th on WKCR

Tomorrow is September 11th, nine years after the infamous attacks on New York and Washington D.C. Serendipitously, I will be DJ'ing my American Blues show "Something Inside Of Me" on WKCR 89.9FM New York. I take it as an honor to DJ in this city, on a day when nine years ago so many people turned to radio for comfort.

In typical Kory fashion, I am putting my own spin on the show. Bob Dylan has an album called "Love & Theft" that was released on the morning of September 11th, 2001. Essentially, the album is exactly what it's title says it is: songs from the American tradition that he loves, and steals. A lot of the songs are rooted in the Blues. What I plan to do tomorrow is to play the songs form the album in their original format, and then immediately follow it up with the Dylan version that was released on September 11th, 2001.

If anyone holds interest in this, and would like to listen to the show, you can tune in at 89.9FM for those of you in New York. Others can listen by clicking here. Alternatively, you can listen through iTunes Radio by clicking on the "Radio" tab -- "College/University" -- "WKCR."

Hope you tune in.
