On October 4th-6th at the Austin Film Society, KUTX presents Faders Up: The John Aielli Experience. The late and much lamented longtime KUT/KUTX DJ and personality John Aielli is profiled here in this new film that shines a light on his early life and scholarly personality. The filmmakers lovingly depict the man and his unique style of music curation and storytelling. Faders Up is portrait of a wonderful person and the community that loved, and still loves, him.
This week on My KUTX, filmmakers Sam Wainwright Douglas and David Hartstein are the guest DJs. They channel their inner Aielli by playing an hour of music that reminds them of John, including Ween, some of John’s classical favorites, and of course, whale songs. Hear My KUTX on Saturday, September 28 at 6 p.m. or listen anytime right here.
