Deerhoof
Tuesday, April 29th, 2003, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner
San Francisco's current crop of "out rock" is a bountiful one indeed, but Deerhoof may continue to reign as the supreme purveyors of strange sounds.

Saturday, April 19th, 2003, 9am - 10am
on The Listener Hour
An hour of special programming for WFMU, presented by the man who helped bring the world Cabaret Voltaire, DAF, Fad Gadget, Depeche Mode, Add (N) to X and many more influential figures. And, without a doubt, he's the guy who sang the classic "Warm Leatherette" by the Normal in 1978! He's also a UK friend of WFMU's, and of course a music fan, presenting some of his recent (non-Mute Records) faves this morn. Tune in.

Radio Polyphony

on World of Echo with Dave Mandl
WFMU will be collaborating with WKCR-FM on "Radio Polyphony," a live, multi-channel broadcast for multiple radio stations and internet streams. The broadcast will take place between 9 and 10 p.m.

The Afflictions
Friday, April 18th, 2003, 3pm - 6pm
on The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T
This 5-piece from Chicago features sax and keyboards, but no bass. They've been described as "the Contortions if they'd been obsessed with ? & the Mysterians instead of James Brown." What does that mean?? Hear for yourself when they check in to the Cherry Blossom Clinic for a live set before their show that night at Hank's Tavern in Brooklyn.

Freeform fill-in for JM in the AM

Avant German Pop 1980-1982 mixed by MRKS
Friday, April 18th, 2003, 2am - 6am
on Advanced D & D with Donna Summer
This very special mix from Donna Summer's German pal MRKS highlights the extra great Teutonic absurdities of German pop from a time when they were just hearing about Miami Vice! Expect saxophones, drum machines, and horribly stylish German singing!

All times listed are Jersey City time, EDT.
