Groove Time is a world service offered weekly over the non-commercial
airwaves of radio KXLU at 88.9Mz FM in Los Angeles, California and via
the internet at KXLU.com. By world service it is meant that Groove Time
is broadcast using frequency modulation waves which replicate
themselves for quite a ways out into space and that in
recognition of the probability that these waves will be somewhere
received and deciphered by someone, the program is designed to reflect
favorably on the inhabitants of this planet.
As of this writing the oldest emanations of Groove Time are twenty
light years out from Earth. During this twenty year history of
broadcasting, nary a discouraging word has been spoken and, while there
have been bad musical notes, there have been no musical compositions
less than exemplary of their genre and edifying to the species.
Groove Time, the radio program, is about rhythm, which, along with the
ability to apprehend beauty for its own sake, are the only
characteristics which differentiate us from other life on this planet,
according to the evidentiary record.
Groove Time, the web page, is about Groove Time the radio program and
more generally about favoring the former in a race joined at this
juncture in evolutionary history between ecstasy and entropy.
