Join your friends on August 14th at 7 PM at the Grail for: SQUARING THE CIRCLE (THE STORY OF HIPGNOSIS), with discussion by Asheville journalist and author, Bill Kopp! This new documentary tells the story of Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey “Po” Powell, the creative geniuses behind the iconic album art design studio, Hipgnosis, responsible for some of the most recognizable album covers of all time. During the Seventies, record companies didn’t dictate to acts like Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Paul McCartney what their LP covers should look like — Storm and Po did. They made money; they lost money. They did great things; they did silly things. They fell out bitterly; they made up. They never played a note, but they changed music. Sponsored by Asheville FM!!!

Update on Cousin TL
As you may know, long-time Asheville FM show host, board member, and mentor Cousin TL is fighting cancer. Our radio family was delighted to hear that while his prognosis is still serious, he’s not in hospice but continuing treatment to fight the cancer. He’s producing Stank Free Radio from home, so you can still tune in on Saturdays for music and talk sets that are guaranteed to funk you up. We’re still gathering donations to support TL & his partner with celebration-of-life expenses, whether those come in a month or (hopefully) years from now. Please donate to and/or share the Go Fund Me!
We continue to encourage listeners to call in to our Listener Line with messages of support & love for Cousin TL by calling 828-785-5202 or you can use the Talk 2 Us feature on our app to record a message. We’ll make sure TL hears from you and may use your message on air for our continuing celebration of the life and legacy of Stank Free Radio and Cousin TL.
