Favoriting October 9, 2024: It's another Punk / Post-punk / Power Pop / New Wave Throwback Show! Part of our October HELLRAISER FUNDRAISER!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

It's one of my favorite shows of the year!

As the 1970s turned into the 1980s, as one of the most exciting environments for independent and underground music took hold across New York City, the flagship weekday music program on New York University's radio station, The Afternoon Show, was largely a moribund and unimaginative attempt to emulate the big commercial album rock stations of that time (*cough*WNEW-FM*cough*)

But early in 1980, newly-arrived student Sal LoCurto, who'd just transferred to NYU from Hoftstra University, found his way to the WNYU studios atop the Loeb Student Center with a vision: play all of the exciting new punk / underground / new wave music that was coming out in the US and UK, and present it in a style that was closer to a Top 40 station than a traditional rock station. And yes, there was a format: no more than two songs in a row without a mic break, and the breaks themselves would be short: announce the songs, maybe mention an upcoming concert, and get right back to playing more music. No more rambling mic breaks from a DJ who sounded like he just woke up. Plus, the bulk of the music played on the show had to be pulled from a special locker stocked with the latest US and import releases; bands like The Doors and Led Zeppelin were banned. Thus the New Afternoon Show was born.

Sal had support from Vin Montuori, the student General Manager and from a couple of forward-thinking DJs currently on the Afternoon Show, Gary Cee and Naomi Regelson. DJs who did not stick to the new format were taken off the air and replaced by newcomers eager to play and support all of the great music and bands coming out at the time. Those newcomers included Sal himself, Mike "Pablo" Dugan, and yours truly.

I'd spent a good part of my high-school years listening more to Boston-area Top 40 stations than album rock stations, and I was also into a lot of punk/power-pop/etc., thanks in large part to my high school friend Jimmy Mack. Playing all of that great music and presenting it in an exciting manner that matched the energy of the music itself quickly won a large listenership. You can read about this in more detail in this 2014 article by my fellow WNYU alum Tim Sommer.

I'm incredibly proud of the time I spent at WNYU — it was a magical era, and a magical time to be on the radio in New York City. I'm also extremely humbled every time I encounter someone who remembers the show fondly 40+ years later. Today's show is an attempt to re-create, to some extent, the sound of those early '80s shows on WNYU, and share that sound with listeners who weren't able to hear those shows back in the day.

And, yes, this is part of WFMU's October HELLRAISER fundraiser — my first show of this year's HELLRAISER, since I was away last week! I hope you'll show your support for my program and for WFMU by making a pledge! If you've already pledged, THANK YOU! Your support is greatly appreciated, especially if you're a SWAG FOR LIFE pledger.

I won a $50 Turtles gift coin. Turtles was the music store chain in the south and where there were SEATS outlets for concert tix -- sort of a regional Ticketmaster precursor.

96 Rock in Atlanta had a Perfect Album Side contest where you could submit a list of songs that were generally thematically tied together. You could submit them ON anything that you could mail to the station -- except car parts. They had to disallow car parts. I assume from bitter experience. I put mine in the pages of the driving license test manual.

Oh, sorry to hear that. I never had Covid. I do have a reaction to the vaccine because of my autoimmune disease probably. I get a low grade fever and fatigue that lasts about a day. I have to make sure that I have a day to recuperate after getting the vaccine. I never have a reaction to my annual seasonal flu vaccine. I even had no reaction to the two shingles shots. Knock on wood. (knocking on my head)

My imagination or was there a lot of music played on today's show-- not even finished and I count about 40 records played. Is that a greater than normal amount?

EFD, I'm sure I've mentioned before that this is one of my favorite, if not most favorite, annual shows of yours because I used to listen to your WNYW show, in which you were one of fave DJs there - as you are on WFMU also. Thanx for great vintage tunes & memories.

Yes, I worked at WFMU as a student. I got paid by Upsala College to work in the record library. I did a show after college 1985-1991. Came back to Sheena's Jungle Room in 2021, thirty years later.
