Neighborhood Public radio is a low power analog FM broadcast 
originating from an art gallery in SanFrancisco, California.  This 
temporary station is designed to be a critique of and alternative to 
the current notion of "public" broadcasting in the U.S.

Not all of the MP3's that we have posted sound great, but we will be 
working on making the quality of the conversions a little more 
consistent and pleasing to the ear.  There have been enough requests 
for the content that it seems about time to just put it out there and 
revise the quality as we go.

Head on over to http://www.conceptualart.org/npr and click on the 
archive link at the top of the page.  The shows are listed by name and 
date (descriptions should be coming soon).

For those of you in Northern California .....  hopefully, once you get 
a sample of the shows through the filter of MP3 compression you will be 
compelled to come on down to 401 Alabama Street in SanFrancisco from 
4-8pm W-F or 1-5 on Saturday.  Or you can just tune in to 88.9 FM while 
you're in the Mission or South Of Market.  Broadcasting continues 
through October 23rd.

This week we will have A Conspiracy of Beards ( a 15-member, all male 
chorus, which sings only the songs of Leonard Cohen ) on Friday evening 
for Friday's with Kitchen Sink and "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" will 
feature an interview with Horea that will be broadcast to be heard at 
the opening of the show "hand picked: the orange collection: part one" 
at Gallery 16.

Other highlights include Joshua G Churchill processing field recordings 
on Thursday and Norman Long improvising with a police scanner on Friday 
as part of the Catch and Release program.

complete schedule.
