Radical Dads are a Brooklyn trio specializing in charming 90s-style guitar rock reminiscent of Electrelane, The 3Ds and the Merge Records catalog. Guitarists Lindsay Baker and Christopher Diken alternate chiming/blissed out/jangly guitar lines anchored by Robbie Guertin's floor-tom thump, while Lindsay and Robbie trade vocals. The Rad Dads have a new record called Mega Rama (Uninhabitable Mansions) and are touring the US at the end of June (and play their home turf often). Tune in for summertime rock fun!

Stevie Moore has never toured! Until now. Backed by fan support from his recent Kickstarter projects, a benevolent documentarian in need of a plot, the encouragement of disciples like Ariel Pink, and a band of young fans called Tropical Ooze, R. Stevie Moore is embarking on his first-ever tour all across the USA and Europe. He'll be playing the hits and boggling minds for the nth time on WFMU Thursday June 16th 9am-12noon -- tune in!

Martin Rushent, RIP
Wednesday, June 8th, 2011, 9pm - Midnight
on The Evan "Funk" Davies Show
Legendary producer Martin Rushent, who died this past weekend at the entirely too young age of 63, is one of a select few to whom the term "legendary" can be applied without fear of hyperbole.

A Radio Tribute To Martin Rushent
Tuesday, June 7th, 2011, Noon - 3pm

Rust Worship
Friday, May 27th, 2011, Midnight - 3am
on Wm. Berger presents My Castle of Quiet
Paul Haney is one of My Castle of Quiet's recurring characters, like Leo McKern's Number Two on the Prisoner, or Joel Murray's drunken client rep on Mad Men. Having appeared first as a guest DJ (archive), then again as part of the trio lineup of Towering Heroic Dudes (archive), these appearances still give only a glimpse of the wall of vibrating chaos that is Paul's solo project, Rust Worship. Using and abusing an array of sources, including cassettes, LPs, turntables, guitars and glass, Rust Worship is most often a polyrhythmic assault, where loops and delayed phrases collide and tumble over one another, sometimes clean and subtle, then rising to a distorted crescendo, like someone trying desperately to fight their way out of a bad dream. Cassettes on Obsolete Units and Cryptic Carousel tell only part of the Rust Worship tale, as part of the fun is the process, that of watching and hearing Paul make thoughtful choices and brave stabs in real time. Rust Worship's Castle visit is a long time in the making, and it's highly likely that Paul will pull a magnum opus (or two) out of his track bag, as so many live Castle guests have in the past.

The Booze
Thursday, May 26th, 2011, Noon - 3pm
on Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock

Joy Gregory, Writer of "The Shaggs: Philosophy of the World" Play
Wednesday, May 25th, 2011, Noon - 3pm
on Miniature Minotaurs with Kurt Gottschalk
Forty years ago, the Shaggs were notoriously the worst rock band ever. Their album, masterminded and funded by their father, was mocked for its strange and atonal naivety and championed by Frank Zappa and others. Now, the story is being told in an off-Broadway production. Playwright Joy Gregory comes to the Miniature Minotaur cave to discuss the band and making a musical about bad music.

Blue Sausage Infant and Violet
Monday, May 23rd, 2011, 3pm - 6pm
on Scott Williams's show
Blue Sausage Infant (BSI) and Violet are 2 long-reigning stars of the inexplicably obscure DC electro/experimental/noise scene. Violet produces subtle deep-listening cold and distant textures through the use of not much more than a zither and a bunch of toy robot bugs. BSI warms things up a bit with some beats, lapsteel loops and the odd human voice. Both represent the excellent DC label Zeromoon and are major architects behind the annual Sonic Circuits festival.

Redhooker
Monday, May 23rd, 2011, Noon - 3pm
on Irene Trudel's show
Named after a remembered year of sadness and isolation in an industrial quarter of Brooklyn, Redhooker once again brings their intertwining strings and sounds to the WFMU studios. The ensemble will preview some lovely new music they'll be performing at Merkin Hall on Thursday, May 26th as a part of the Tribeca New Music Festival. Redhooker's in-studio performance will feature the newest member of the group, Derek Muro on saxophone and will also highlight the group's violinist Maxim Moston doubling on the Rhodes piano through his marriage-straining gaggle of boutique analog effects pedals.

Mammal of Paradise
Sunday, May 22nd, 2011, 6am - 9am
on Beastin' The Airwaves! with Keili

Rapoon / Promute
Sunday, May 22nd, 2011, 3am - 6am
on Noise and Syrup with Jeff M
Robin Storey and Shaun Sandor stopped by to do two improvised sets for Noise and Syrup. Storey, who has long worked as Rapoon, and was a co-founder of legendary outfit Soviet France (zoviet-france), assembles a textured and trance-like collage of ethnic loops, radio samples and various sounds of unknown origins. Sandor performing as Promute performs a sparser combination of improvised metal and synth, with rhythms rising and disappearing again. He also runs the label Blondena Music.
