June Panic on The Mixtape June Panic is a singer-songwriter from Grand Forks, ND. Panic first began performing and recording in 1990, and released his early material on cassette for the label 3 Out of 4 Records.
His first CD was the initial release for the label Secretly Canadian. He released several full-length albums with the label. In 2007, he released a triple album containing 48 songs he had originally recorded on a four track and released between 1991 and 1996.
Panic plays every instrument on his releases. His lyrics often contain intentionally twisted or idiosyncratic imagery, a trait noted by reviewers.
Listen to June Panic’s performance on “The Mixtape” with Jeremy Haug.
Carl Unbehaun on \”The Mixtape\”Carl Unbehaun says he writes the songs that no one else thinks of writing. Whether it’s a song about a guy whose woman spitefully gives away his favorite shirt (“Seersucker”), about a guy who goes to prison only to discover that his wife’s letters come less and less frequently (“Visitors’ Day), about the perils of cell phones (“Hard Cell”) or about getting away in a canoe to reflect on life (“You”), Carl’s audiences appreciate the mix of passionate, humorous, and tongue-in-cheek tunes.
Carl performed live in the studio on “The Mixtape” with Jeremy Haug.
Scott Fletcher on Northland UASOver the last two years, Thief River Falls has become an important player in the development of unmanned aircraft technology nationwide.
Last year, Northland Community and Technical College received nearly $5-million from the U.S. Department of Labor to establish the nation’s first unmanned aerial systems maintenance training Center. The first UAS maintenance training classes began in August.
In September of this year, Northland received another $4.7 million dollar Department of Labor grant that will be used to develop another program related to flying planes remotely, from the ground.
Joining us to talk about Northland’s planned certificate in Imagery Analysis is chief operating officer of Northland’s aviation programs, Scott Fletcher.
