This weekend on "Rent Party," our hero, Dinosauria, wards off the terrors of the rock wilderness with the ancient power of his mighty music. But will he survive to reach the end of his epic journey? Tune in to hear him play live in our studio and find out, 3 p.m. on Saturday.

DJ Rhinestonee and David Swider will only laugh at you if you DON'T come out to hear them spin at the very first WYXR DJ Night at Bar DKDC, Wednesday, September 13. Otherwise, you're all good. Swipe to see what it looks like when they team up for a giggle. You've been warned...

15 years ago, on this day, we lost an icon of soul music, style, entertainment, and culture, Isaac Hayes. His birthday is also around the corner. What's your favorite Isaac Hayes song, memory, or moment?

For Dolby, the audio company that developed Atmos, and Apple Music — which has invested heavily in it — the technology could lead to the most dramatic shift in audio in 65 years. nyti.ms/3pigkly

True believers in the immersive audio format say it could restore a musical appreciation lost to a generation that has come up during the streaming era.

A new year means a new slate of albums from the lesser-known corners of Memphis' musical past will have their night in the spotlight for WYXR's Stereo Sessions presented by MEMPHO. This year's lineup features everything from lo-fi rap to folk-infused soul. Mark your calenders!

Last semester's @uofmemphis interns, Jake and Kara, left some big shoes to fill in the studio. And all that means is we need some new students to step up and slide into the space they left open. What do you say, Tigers? Contact us at [email protected] with your resume.
