Christchurch, New Zealand's legendary Axemen coming to Brian Turner's show Tuesday, November 24th from 3-6PM! Formed in 1981, their various live shows and releases displayed a loose but virulent amalgamation of avant-garage, Half Japanese style sax primitivism, confusion, and general air of maladjusted greatness. You can catch them in the NYC area with Times New Viking November 18th at Mercury Lounge, 19th at Union Pool, and 20th at Maxwells in Hoboken!

Wednesday, November 25th from 10:30 am to Noon, Ken welcomes Felix Kubin to play rare tracks and talk about his various projects.

He is in New York for his first US performances, on Sunday 11/22 at the Issue Project Room, and Tuesday, 11/24 at Santos Party House.

The day after Thanksgiving will be a hectic one on Billy Jam's Put The Needle on the Record from 3-6PM when guests stopping by will include DJ Spooky, Themselves, and MC Paul Barman. Barman returns after a break from music with the impressive new album "Thought Balloon Mushroom Cloud" featuring such guests as Michel Gondry, Questlove, Prince Paul, DOOM, and Masta Ace. Meantime DJ Spooky (That Subliminal Kid), fresh back from shows in Russia and right before a series of shows at the BAM Opera House for the Next Wave Festival, will discuss his new album "The Secret Song" which tackles the topic of global economics. And Oakland's Themselves' Jel and Doseone return to WFMU when the Anticon duo will talk about their new album "CrownsDown" and also spit some freestyles.

Now that the Cash for Clunkers program is but a distant memory, you can use your old car in the way it was intended - to benefit WFMU! WFMU is now accepting donations of used vehicles from any state in the U.S. and in any state of disrepair. It’s a great way to help your favorite freeform radio station, get a tax write-off for yourself, and most importantly, get that junker off your front lawn. Call 1-877-411-DONATE (1-877-411-3662) to arrange for vehicle pick-up (it’s free).
