DJ Tracy - host & Evening Eclectic Music Director
Monday nights - 9:00 PM till midnight
|
Tracy Stuntz joined the Evening Eclectic program in May 2007. She became Evening Eclectic music director in July 2009. A native of San Jose, Calif., she loved going to see live music while growing up, from hole-in-the-wall local shows to blockbuster festivals all over the Bay Area. The popular pop-punk bands of her youth (Saves The Day, The Ataris) have now been mixed with her more recent favorites (Elliott Smith, Cat Power) in her CD collection. Tracy’s two favorite albums of all time are Beck's "Midnight Vultures," which carried her through many long road trips back in the day, and The Kinks' greatest hits, a compilation that her hip mom bought for her off eBay. When she's not planning her Evening Eclectic show, which airs Mondays from 9 p.m. to midnight, you might find Tracy in the classroom. She's a graduate student in the MA program in Communication and she teaches speech classes at Fresno City College. Tracy also runs her own sewing and crafts business, bagsbytracy, on Etsy.com.

| CD Review - The Polyphonic Spree - "The Fragile Army" |
From a demo release in early 2000, to TV show appearances and movie soundtracks, The Polyphonic Spree is definitely more than just a novelty band. Their latest release, The Fragile Army combines their usual quirky sounds and ‘all will be okay if we stick together’ lyrics with darker attitudes (and new outfits!), exploring what it means to them to be a fragile army. Section 22 (Running Away), the single, encompasses these new changes completely along with the high energy (read: relentlessly upbeat) usually reserved for live Spree experiences, while Section 29 (Light to Follow) proves to be one of the album’s defiantly interesting tracks, combining strong female vocals and various lyrics about when love is not as cherished as it should be (“it feels so alive/going backwards”). Section 27 (Mental Cabaret) is an electronic/pumped up remix of the same titled song from their underrated EP Wait, while explaining “this mental cabaret is dancing with my fate/these empty impressions left me engaged with a game.” These lyrics and the rest of the CD cover the ‘variety-show’ range of a cabaret, from light entertainment to serious political stances. - Tracy Stuntz |
