Upcoming events:

Sun. Jan 26th, 8pm - 10pm: Tribute to Neil Innes, with Ira Kaplan (More info...)

Gaylord Fields will be joined by Yo La Tengo member (and WFMU fill-in DJ) Ira Kaplan to talk a little about and play a lot of the music of the late Neil Innes. (Yo La Tengo has backed Innes live, cultivating a friendship in the process.) From the Bonzos to the Rutles to Innes' solo work and beyond, this program will merely scratch the surface in its attempt to honor the life and career of the master singer/songwriter/parodist and "seventh Python."
