"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot."

A virtual supermarket sweep of recorded history, with an emphasis on processed cheese.

I play rhinoceros and psychedelic fork.

Music to laze around with, just like slipping into a warm, comfortable bath; bubbling with many stringed instruments and occasional live performances.

Guests from the world of the arts, sciences, the media, and other areas. Every couple of weeks the Speakeasy presents "Duck Hunting With Dick", our political hour with co-host Ken Smith.

A mixture of pop and avant-garde side by side, sometimes on top of one another.

Freeform radio with a predilection for planet shattering beats, rumbling guitars, bit mappy electronics, hash hazy strumming, and other related sonics for cultured and urbane criminal types. Please direct all complaints to the attention of our North Bergen office.

Three hours of the latest hip-hop and beat-oriented music go round and round on the turntable with your host, Noah Zark.

A musical journey through the lands of rock, pop, jazz and soul on the spaceship of time.

(A complete playlist will be added after the show is posted to the archives; please check back in a few days.)

It's in the mix, without reservations.

Fist-pumping, air-drumming freeform mayhem. Caffeinated rock, experimental pop, oddball beats, and novelties.

The Citizen Kane of adult entertainment.

Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly-played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

Anti-fascist researcher Dave Emory (spelled E-M-O-R-Y) goes into all the hidden truths and details about evil men and their trade practices.

100+ year old lo-fi recordings contextually presented.

Funny. Rocking. Intriguing. Engaging. Modest. The best talk. The best music. Simply put: The Best.

Some pop, fumbling musicians, bedroom recordings, vocal harmonies with orchestras, elongated notes, tape hiss, one-chord wonders, analog synths + clicking drum machines, loners, breezy country, and brief cacophonous interruptions.

A stereophonic stethoscope into the murmurs, rubs & gallops of the musical malformations we call freeform radio.

WFMU's web only morning timeslot features live, freeform programming from Trent (Mondays), Frank O'Toole (Tuesdays), Jason Elbogen (Wednesdays), and Dan Bodah (Fridays). A rotating cast of DJs take the helm on Thursday mornings while JM in the AM is heard on our FM stations.

Music That Melts in Your Ears.

Genre-surfing tokenism.

I apologize in advance. It's only an hour.

The program formerly known as Dinner at Andy's, The Fuzzy Glove Hour, Whores, and The Happiness Hut. Ken and Andy, also known as The Enema Boys, further lower WFMU's already abysmal standards on a weekly basis. Stunt radio which subjects the radio audience to concepts and topics which mature adults should not have to endure. Find the fatal flaw.

Professor Dum Dum, scientist of music, performs experiments in music and human behaviour. Living, breathing volunteers subject themselves to his verbal vivisection, helping all to understand what laymen call "absurdity."

Way-left-of-center music and chatter. Guaranteed less than 2% rock and roll.

This bell have of a clear sound. It is a noise which to cleave the head.
Belly famished has no ears. Sit down here by me. Do you like the soup?

Four hours of late night sounds for the unemployed and unemployable. Lit windows required!

A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Music to slaughter livestock to; 5,000 factory farmers can't all be wrong.

Stark and surreal floating dramas that could only work on radio. Quite a few episodes from the vaults this season that haven't aired yet on WFMU.

Scratchy vanity 45s, pilfered field recordings, muddy off-the-radio sounds, homemade congregational tapes and vintage commercial gospel throw-downs; a little preachin', a little salvation, a little audio tomfoolery.

A chimpified, sonic soiree of overmodulated, toe-stubbing rock and roll.

Loud Live Acts
He's been playing punk rock since before you were born. Live bands in the studio every week.

100-plus years of audio media with an emphasis on the ecstatic, the sorrowful, and hypothetical cosmologies.

The WFMU-O-Tron 6000 takes over in a HAL-like way to program your entertainment when humans aren't available.

The finest in Micronesian doo-wop, Appalachian mambo, Turkish mariachi, pygmy yodeling of 
Baltimore, Portuguese juju, Cajun gamelan, tuba choirs from Mozambique, Inuit marching bands, 
Filipino free jazz, Egyptian kabuki theater, and throat singers of the Lower East Side.

I am but a vessel.

" I can't tell when you're telling me the truth."
- I'm not.
"How do I know anything you've told me is..."
- You don't.

Once again, an hour of radio ghosts recaptured: once in a lifetime occurances and remembrances (some from WFMU's own archives). This is no mere nostalgia trip; Aircheck seeks out some of the more unusual and unpredictable moments and personalities in radio that probably wouldn't get attention anywhere else.

One hour; 23 or 24 soul 45s.

Riff rock for riff raff, pop fizzle for the frazzled, chord changes of life for the menopausal teenagers, a safari in the jingle-jangle jungle.

I never miscue a record. I am punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter. Outgoing and helpful, I'm always appropriately dressed. I do not behave erratically and have excellent penmanship. My CD's never skip, and I am in good health. I like all the notes, in any order.

Noise, black metal, drone, psych, neofolk, and Lindsay Lohan fun for everyone.

Folk; old-timey; blues; psych, avant and acid folk old and new; ambient and electronic; lots of guitar; detours elsewhere.

Visiting WFMU listeners take an hour.

A showcase for the widest-possible definition of pop music, plus interviews with the world's finest music makers.

The unsung heroes of rock 'n' roll, presented at 45 RPM: 50s/60s bop, slop, & schlock.

Punk/new wave, psych, glam, garage, mod, freakbeat, funk, krautrock, noise, hardcore, indie, DIY, power pop, soul -- any and all good moving music! Live bands frequently, tix @ 4:06 -- why stop? Live life -- it's hectic but short, yo!

Hip-hop and rap, that's where my heart's at. But I'll play anything so long as it ain't crap!

Tropical jams and phased hits.

A yurt for the transgenred.

Music for your inner 17-year old.

You see a blanket on the ground. It's your favorite color, smooth and soft. You can sit on it, or lie on it. It's a flying blanket, and you are the pilot. You are in control. You can fly anywhere you wish, just by thinking about it. You are the pilot.

Reggae music is for everyone--you love it, say Irie!

Inoculated DJ plays songs and talks a lot.

R-R-Real Rock & Roll. Bad music that bad people want to hear, badly.
