The way the weather has been lately, you must forgive us thinking it's time for spring cleaning. In an effort to shift our mess around, we discovered quite a cache of unnecessary CDs. Before they go in the dumpster, we're offering you a crack at the pile. Stop by on Saturday and fill up a bag!

A Rummage Event at WKSU this Saturday

Every week, folk and classical CDs come streaming into WKSU from around the world. Some go into the music library. Many do not. These CDs are rejected because they don't fit with WKSU's programming, or their sound is not right - or the library already has the same songs by different artists. This Saturday (2/11) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., come to the WKSU Broadcast Center in Kent and take home some of these misfit CDs. All CDs are free, but there will be a suggested $5 donation to attend the event. The WKSU nerve center is located at the corner of Summit and Loop on the Kent State campus. Doors will open at exactly 10 a.m. See you then!

James Taylor Presale

Sweet baby James returns to Northeast Ohio as he brings his band to Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica on Monday, July 9. Tickets go on-sale Friday (2/10), but, thanks to Live Nation, you can buy them today until 10 p.m. by clicking this link and entering the code WKSU. One of the greatest singer/songwriters of his generation, Taylor's timeless music has become part of the American musical lexicon.

Joe Pusateri at Akron Roundtable

Join WKSU on Thursday, Feb. 16 at 7 p.m. for an Akron Roundtable address from Quaker Station at Quaker Square Inn in Akron. This month's featured speaker is the Joe Pusateri, President of Elite Homes, presented in conjunction with Leadership Akron. His topic will be "Extreme Makeover: Leadership Edition." WKSU's broadcast of the Akron Roundtable is made possible through support of North Akron Savings Bank.

Elite Homes is one of the largest locally-owned home-building companies in Kentucky, and currently developing eight communities in the Louisville metro area. Pusateri is currently campaign chair of the Louisville Fund for the Arts. In 2007 and 2010, his company was featured as the builder for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Go to AkronRoundtable.org.

Live Tweeting the Grammys

This Sunday (2/12), beginning at 4 p.m., Folk Alley will be live Tweeting the results of the 54th Grammy Awards ceremonies in Los Angeles. Follow @FolkAlley and be the first to know who picks up folk and Americana prizes during the pre-telecast event, as well as the results of contests with artists - such as Bon Iver and The Civil Wars - that should make it into the main event later that evening.

A Stream for Those in Love - And One for Everyone Else

Each year, Folk Alley marks Valentine's Day with two streams. Love features the best in romantic music from your favorite folk artists. Alt-Love is the exact opposite - music for relationships gone wrong, the moment after love fades and a couple is now two people left alone. Find both streams for a limited time at FolkAlley.com. Happy holiday!


	The Splendid Table Saturdays at 1 p.m. Feb. 11: It's a look at the mysterious eel with James Prosek, author of Eels, An Exploration, From New Zealand To The Saragasso, of the World's Most Mysterious Fish. Explore the food life of Thailand with David Thompson, author of Thai Street Food and Gilt Taste's Francis Lam makes Ginger Milk Pudding.



	This American Life Saturdays at 4 p.m. Feb. 11: What I Did For Love. Love makes us do crazy things. But not this crazy. This week for Valentine's Day, stories of people going to extremes as they fall in love, chase love down, and try to make sense of it -- including a teenager who falls for an undercover cop, and epic tales of snooping.



	A Prairie Home Companion Saturdays at 6 p.m. Feb. 11: (repeated Feb. 12 at 10 a.m.) A live broadcast from The Fitzgerald Theater in downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota, with special guests, dazzling Minnesota-based folksinger Ann Reed, otherworldly chamber-pop chanteuse My Brightest Diamond, and vocalist Heather Masse.


	Krista Tippett on Being Sundays at 7 a.m. Feb. 12: Nicholas Kristof on Journalism and Compassion. New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof says that journalism can make us care -- or it can numb us to human suffering. He draws on neuroscience to reveal the limits of human empathy -- why it shuts down and how to open it up again. And the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist shows how he uses this new science to inform his reporting on atrocities and possibilities by wrapping hard news inside human stories.



	The Thistle & Shamrock Sundays at 7 p.m. Feb. 12: Claudine Langille. Join Fiona Ritchie at The Swannanoa Gathering in the mountains of North Carolina for a conversational, musical encounter with vocalist and leading banjo and mandolin player, Claudine Langille, known for her work in the 1980s with Touchstone and her current band, Gypsy Reel. Hear why songs and tunes from the Canadian Maritimes, Ireland, and Appalachia flow through her music.



	The Regina Brett Show Wednesdays at 7 p.m. Feb. 15: Making the Perfect Man. For the day after Valentine's Day, ponder the question, "Where have all the good men gone?" Some experts believe it's getting harder than ever for men to grow up. Regina discusses how the rise of women and the impact of growing up with video games have prevented boys from turning into grown men. Email regina@wksu.org to answer this week's question: What qualities do you look for when judging a man's character?
