Favoriting Brian Turner: Playlist from March 1, 2011 Favoriting

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.

  3:10pm

Man, these are the tracks to play if you want me to send money. YES. The Boredoms cover of this song is one of the best pieces of music ever.
  3:10pm
Mary Wing:

OMG, I love that T-shirt!!

(Brian, Diane forgot to do a station ID, please take care of that.)
  3:11pm
herb:

  3:14pm
Matt from Springfield:

Welcome back Xavi!

I've never gotten a WFMU t-shirt before, and this year I'm getting 3! -- Brian's, the 2011 WFMU shirt, and I believe Tom is also giving a shirt this year.
  3:16pm
Xavi:

@Matt: great to be here!

Bruxelles loves you:

Seven van Der Graaf Generators cd's! It's like swallow a family of 14 elephants!
Long life to "Undercover man" song!
  3:25pm
Carmichael:

Actually, I'm not a music whore, but rather a music John. I search out the sexy, the flashy, the erotic and the occasionally filthy music, depending on my mood.
And I'm willing to pay good money for the release it gives me.
  3:26pm
Xavi:

good point Carmichael. You are a role model
  3:27pm
yair Yona:

God bless the fmu iPhone app
  3:27pm
Martha:

  3:30pm
Adam:

Waaaaoooooof, this Zior track hits on the highest gear!! Great show!
  3:32pm
Matt from Springfield:

I should play some Zior to teens first getting into Zeppelin--this rocks more, and probably wasn't ripped off of someone else!
  3:33pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

hey dudes, you got Eddie Money?
  3:33pm
paul:

god bless longmont potion castle
  3:35pm
Carmichael:

Dead Corporate Eyes:

  3:37pm
Xavi:

Carmichael:

Bottle opener key chain! Impress the cops.
  3:37pm
Lenz:

Is that Martha Stewart with Brian?
  3:44pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

even small pledges help. I'm doing several small pledges this week to my favorite peeeeeeples.
  3:45pm
skittles:

Bah, I hate it when I have to take a phone call when they announce who won the prizes. Does anyone remember the names announced?
  3:46pm
northguineahills:

Can't listen now, b/c I'm busy at work, but, I believe Brian's show is a good time to pledge.
  3:46pm
Matt from Springfield:

Xavier from Houston, then?
Thanks for supporting what you love!

Matt from Springfield, currently a permanent resident of WFMU-Land.
  3:48pm
Xavi:

yep that's me....Xavi as in "Haavi" or "Havi Metal" is a stretch :)
  3:48pm
BT:

Man, you peops are killing!!! Great pledges so far!
Please keep em coming. Spread the word on yr webs!!!!
  3:52pm
skittles:

Xavi, did you win the Van Der Graaf cds?
  3:52pm
Xavi:

i have no idea skittles
  3:53pm
Carmichael:

This sounds like Amanda's brother.
  3:54pm
Xavi:

i have a sticker though!
  3:55pm
northguineahills:

Ok, I feel better after pledging. Now, I need to figure out what swag to snag. Thanks Brian!
  3:55pm
blake:

that Dwarr = fantastic. I feel sad that I didn't hear of it earlier, but hey, dispersing such goods = FMU in a nutshell... hell's yeah!
  3:57pm
SF Spike:

Whoa. I'd forgotten about this Roxy/Sabbath mashup by Six Eye Columbia. Good call!
  3:58pm
Matt from Springfield:

@NGH: There's always so many great premiums, I have trouble choosing every year. But I kind of like sorting through everything anyway! Which items are you thinking of now?
  4:01pm
northguineahills:

If I'm still doing this freelance gig on the 15th, I'll throw in another mouse pledge (aaron, bk)
  4:04pm
northguineahills:

@Matt from Springfield: I"ve been working 12 hour days every day for a month, so, I have yet to look at the dj premiums. When work slows down, and I regain my sanity, I'll look at the dj premiums. But yes, so much quality to choose from.
  4:08pm
Matt from Springfield:

YOKO! Unrest, Richard Pinhas, Michael Reuther, I remember all those fondly! Thanks for organizing those shows Brian!
  4:10pm
Matt from Springfield:

@NGH: WFMU helps me keep my sanity during work! And after, and before...here's to "snagging your swag"!
  4:12pm
Borg:

I kind of tune out during these pledge shows...
  4:12pm
andy/s:

the Monochrome Set are back! They are playing Primavera this year so you may even get to see em!
  4:12pm
northguineahills:

grazie gracia, Matt from Springfield!
  4:14pm
northguineahills:

Actually, I have a hard time focusing at work w/ all the talking, but I still listen every now and then during the marathon.

(keep on talking!)
  4:14pm
LordGrenville:

mono-chrome hits the spot
  4:15pm
Nate K:

If you pledged at the beginning of the show are you in the running for everything?
  4:16pm
pierre:

No way i love the monochrome set !
primavera this year for real ?
  4:16pm
Skirkie:

How much to pledge to be in the running for this?
  4:16pm
wigwambam:

Excellent question Nate
  4:17pm
BT:

15 clammers
  4:18pm
Spoilt Victorian Child:

Woof! Moo!
  4:21pm
Danne D:

Hey Skirkie :) saw you adopted the head honcho. Very impressive!
  4:22pm
Skirkie:

All part of my evil plan.
  4:22pm
Yair Yona:

yea! LPD!
Kaspell is the king of bubbles.
  4:23pm
Danne D:

usually, nate, each regular drawing starts with a new set of pledge cards, but if you've pledged a total of $75 over the course of the show you should be eligible for the grand prize (though if you get there on multiple cards during the show you should let 'em know you are upping the pledge so you get your just chance)
  4:27pm
wigwambam:

ooooooooo one of my favorite Wire songs!
  4:28pm
Yair Yona:

What a killer tune! is it available on FMA?
  4:31pm
Yair Yona:

and don't' forget Colin's side project Githead with his wife Malka Spiegel from Minimal Compact
  4:33pm
Nate K:

I'm cool. One shot pledge, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for the grand prize.
  4:36pm
Danne D:

good luck Nate!
  4:40pm
LordGrenville:

Githead is great!
  4:41pm
Barb:

Off to do the morning's suburban taxi service. Hail to the King of Kirby Park!
  4:41pm
herb:

ooh - WIRE on wfmu. why not have BARE WIRES open? (oh thank you wfmu, that's how i learned of bare wires.)
  4:42pm
antiguo Automata Mexicano:

Hello from mexico Brian hope you remember me...I love the app! See our last videos vimeo. com/automata/videos
  4:43pm
Matt from Springfield:

I myself started "actively commenting" on the AccuPlaylists last year, been listening for nearly 2 years now, And the Archives! All this wonderful stuff they've broadcast in the last decade, all at your fingertips! Even if you have NO money, scrap together 10 bucks even (15 to get in the running for prizes!) if you listen to the station and/or archives often.
  4:45pm
LordGrenville:

need me that Roth
  4:47pm
herb:

oh, i JUST e-pledged. but forgot to say that I DO NOT WANT that david lee roth thing. but since i'm being told by brian that i want it, then, I WANT IT.
  4:49pm
minnesota jeff:

Not liking DLR makes you monster. I can't recomend his solo album "Eat em and Smile" enough
  4:50pm
Xavi:

@matt: i gotta listen to the archives to catch up for sure
  4:51pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

wondering how a drive like this is sustainable over a two week period...diminishing returns and all that...
  4:52pm
Matt from Springfield:

My personal appeal: remember all those great live sets Brian had last year? That took effort to organize and get on the air. And don't forget, Brian is also our very capable Music Director, listening to the new stuff coming in to the station to find great new discoveries that will be passed along to you (as he demonstrated to Andy Breckman recently...)

But despite all his enthusiasm, this great stuff won't be heard unless WFMU is up and running. Support his dream, and your dream at the same time.
  4:54pm
Adam:

BT and WFMU have tiger's blood and Adonis DNA. Duh, winning! If you haven't already, pledge now to keep this great party going.
  4:55pm
Richard from Venezuela:

Just checking in from house. Greetings to Brian and Martha.
  4:55pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Xavi: I usually catch up to parts I miss on the Archives, and a few shows I follow religiously, whether I caught it live or not (BT--you are one of them!)
@herb: Brian frees your mind from following its own desires. Embrace the Brian.
  4:56pm
Gerry from Brantford:

Carl tweeted looking for WFMU's address. Reply @ACNewman so he can find you guys :)
  4:56pm
pierre:

Black Bug, Death, and the Normals
WE ARE SPOILED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4:56pm
Matt from Springfield:

Greetings once again Richard! Do you listen to Martha live, as well as Brian? As someone pointed out you seem to check in to every show at least once every week!
  4:58pm
Squinchy:

TFUL playing ATP in the UK this year...
  4:59pm
Yair Yona:

I pledged about a week before the marathon, but I gotta say it as well - Brian, you and the station had been a great influence on me as a musician and definitely shaped my music taste and opened my ears to MANY new music. so thanks again.
  4:59pm
blake:

huzzah for the Job's Daughters mention!
  5:01pm
minnesota jeff:

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, I wanted that DLR prize so bad.
  5:03pm
pierre:

Brian T, do you remember the name of that club ?
  5:04pm
pierre:

or does anybody on the comment board ?
  5:06pm
Richard from Venezuela:

hahahahaha, good point matt. Monica and Martha show are one of my favorites.
  5:07pm
Adam:

Congratulations, Herb, on your No Holds BBQ prize win. Let us know about the DVD on the comment board in the future, would ya? WFMU is the best!
  5:08pm
Cecile:

This shit is crazy. Love it.
  5:10pm
Marmalade kitty:

Sic Alps cool!..Ice T in Jack D, are the clash Baby! bit harsh! lol
  5:11pm
Adam:

Well said @Cecile. I listen to WFMU FOR the brilliant/crazy that it offers.
  5:11pm
minnesota jeff:

Is it just me or does it seem like the prizes accross the board are like leaps and bounds beyond last years? Half the shows have had multiple prizes that seemed like they would have been $75 grandprizes for shows last year. So awesome!
  5:11pm
fred:

I was there in Instants Chavires in Montreuil when Group Doueh played, and it was a serious blast. I missed Omar Souleyman though, but I had seen him a few days before.
@pierre: if you're in Paris, you may want to show up there tomorrow. France is playing, they use an amplified hurdy-gurdy for a kind of trance-like music that's pretty unique. They're from Clermont-Ferrand, but they don't play all that often around here
  5:13pm
DJ Keili:

WOOHOO Brian Turnerrrrr
Holla from PM School.
Math is hard.
  5:14pm
pierre:

thanks fred !
wait, fred from Vanves ?
  5:16pm
fred:

Hey Keili! You'll only need simple arithmetic on Sunday to keep track of our pledges, but hopefully we'll reach a challenging total
  5:18pm
DJ Keili:

Hey Fred!
True dat!
But I'm having some trouble with the basic math Qs on the playlist chat as always. Haha!
  5:18pm
herb:

haha, dj KEILI says "math is hard". well i work in a math dept. and since i like to add, i'll e-pledge some more (as part of my pre-mara pledge). oh, i caught TOY SUGAR on her show recently, having woken up morbidly early.
  5:19pm
DJ Keili:

Woooo keep on adding, guyz!
  5:19pm
Ike:

Yeah, moviegoing in NYC can be bizarre and/or horrifying. The first time I went to the Angelika, I saw "Affliction." The seats were tiny back then, and the audience freaked me out by laughing uproariously at all the scary bloody tooth-extraction parts that weren't remotely funny. The Landmark Sunshine is nice though.
  5:20pm
Richard from Venezuela:

Hello Keili. Hope you have a good marathon on sunday.
  5:20pm
fred:

@pierre: nope, I never even set foot there. If you go to that gig tomorrow, come over and say hi! I'll be wearing some WFMU gear (bag and button, probably a T-shirt), but just say the station's name and the people there should point me out. They've already put WFMU next to my name when mailing their schedule, so I'm pretty much tagged that way.
  5:20pm
Danne D:

Jeff, if I'm not mistaken you can thank the hard work of Brian for that since I think he's the prize wrangler if I'm not mistaken.

Hey Fred :) Hey Keili :) Hey Ike :) Actually Keili's gotta do the math for her co-hosting gig with Marty next week too!

<wonders if EFD loaning Keili his Math The Band promos will help at all>
  5:20pm
MuttonChops:

Sometimes you go to the movies and sometimes the movies go to you
  5:22pm
dr. woodbe:

brainbombs? w/that kind of hyperbole i thought you were talking about doden
  5:22pm
Danne D:

lol love that fred is the "WFMU" guy there. Less embarrassing that the place I go to watch football labeling me as "Bengals" (and yes I really am a Bengals fan).
  5:23pm
Danne D:

Excited for my first volunteer shift tomorrow on Evan's show :)
  5:23pm
fred:

@pierre (again): and of course get ready for Sonic Protest! They're back with a vengeance this year, the festival runs from April 2-10: http://www.sonicprotest.com/
  5:24pm
hamburger:

hoho Danne D. good one!
  5:24pm
Danne D:

Hamburger :) s'up?
  5:25pm
hamburger:

Just back from Chelsea rob Man Utd :) (very bitter)
  5:26pm
BT:

Doden is a pretty high water mark!
  5:26pm
zax:

Sonic Protest Rules!
  5:27pm
pierre:

yep i'm already waiting for Club Moral !!!
  5:27pm
Danne D:

Great relegation battle brewing there hamburger :) (of course not involving those two teams)

Wish I could see that music festival in Paris :(
  5:27pm
Matt from Springfield:

Thanks for volunteering Danne! If I was closer to NYC I would love to volunteer in person!

(Are you gonna try to get a glimpse of Ken and Andy at the studio beforehand?)
  5:27pm
fred:

Hmm... Danne, is that why you said you looked like a big cat in PJs during Julie's show? If so, you may be taking your team loyalty a tad too far.
  5:29pm
Danne D:

LOL fred!!!
no I think it was more that my eyes weren't open more than a crack. I was very tired.

I also hold no warranty for coherence (or lack thereof) prior to 10am - you already know that :)
  5:31pm
herb:

go to matadorrecords.com & hit 'blog' - you can read GERARD COSLOY's funny thingy about tonight's WFMU 9pm-midnight show.
  5:32pm
fred:

I'm pretty psyched about this festival. As I'm lucky enough to have Cesar & Momo (aka Radikal Satan) playing there on my 40th birthday. I'll definitely be there, but I can't vouch for coherence
  5:32pm
Danne D:

I'll probably still be in transit to the station Matt (with a stop at the Pretzel Factory down by my work to bring some pretzels up to the station), so I'll probably see Ken but likely not Andy. Though I've met them plenty of times before (when FMU moved into the station and we had the human chain moving records to the basement I actually was positioned next to Andy). I also remember being there volunteering (in East Orange) when they left during their show to race to the then-new digs in Jersey City :)
  5:33pm
Danne D:

Wow someone on here (almost) as old as me :) Sounds like a fun birthday fred! I was in Vega$ playing poker and seeing Penn and Teller on my 40th (and yes representing FMU at the World Series of Poker)
  5:34pm
pierre:

ok cool, i'll probably wear a wfmu t shirt at the gig to then, we will look cool/ridicule
Is it ok if you teach me how you became a wfmu ambassador in France, as i'd love to be an apprentice
  5:35pm
Danne D:

Brian Turner = killer performer for Hoof N Mouth btw
  5:35pm
pierre:

or ridicool
  5:36pm
Carmichael:

You're way young, Danne D. Bunch of old bags on the FMU comment boards (including me). And that's a good thing!
  5:36pm
fred:

Well, showing up often enough with station gear will do that for you. And when there are only a handful of people there (which happens, but won't tomorrow), it's easy to stand out
  5:37pm
Cecile:

I am old and decrepit.
  5:38pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Danne: Sounds like fun times! At this point that would prob. make you an officer of the 7SD fan club! So is that how they "switched" studios then? Running there in the middle of a 7SD? I wonder if that Archive is available :)
  5:39pm
Carmichael:

Now now, 'Cile. Bask in your worldly experience!
  5:40pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Cecile: I'm a "kid" but with very esoteric tastes--WFMU is a great place to hang out amid the "experts" such as yourselves! Also my job is white-collar technical so I usually am available to comment.
  5:41pm
pierre:

well, allright, that works.
but first i need to Increase my fmu items collection then, but first of all…
I need to find a job > thus may not be able to go see France tomorrow, but hopefully it'll be allright for Sonic Protest.
  5:42pm
Danne D:

LOL yeah I'm old enough in FMU terms that I won $25 when Ken and Andy did a game of 20 questions (I got the correct answer) and they announced how to get the money out of Western Union to the Entire Audience. I very dramatically got the money and called in at the end of the show - a rare SSD success :) Never heard it reaired though :(
  5:44pm
BW:

Brian Turner is an international treasure! Let's all pledge a bit more so he can hit 10,000 (I just did)
  5:47pm
wigwambam:

For a sec there I almost thought BT posted BW's comment haha
  5:47pm
Richard from Venezuela:

hahahha, me too.
  5:48pm
wigwambam:

would have been an awesome "i am a golden god" moment oh well
  5:49pm
Danne D:

I don't see that show on the archive (but it's possible I just don't recall the title). I know that Ken and Andy defnitely raced to the studio during the show and I think they called in with updates or something a classic.

The one I won $25 on would the be the "Twenty Questions" episode but I don't see it.

Favorite archive title:
"The Perfect Murder. No Archive Available. "

Big push for the end of Brian's Show guys!!!!
  5:50pm
fred:

@pierre: I'll be there for Club Moral too, I got my ticket for that show last week. BTW, tickets are available at a reduced price @bimbo tower this week
  5:53pm
pierre:

ok this is perfect, fred = my personal savior of the day !
  5:53pm
Danne D:

you learn more listening to WFMU than on any narrowcast satellite station
  5:53pm
Matt from Springfield:

WFMU--"inclusive attitude" and "serious irreverence"--couldn't have said it better!

Yes Brian, TRUE free-form lives on thanks to you guys.
  5:56pm
zax:

Fred, if you come on the 9th for our Lietterschpich concert I'd dedicate a frequency for your birthday
  5:56pm
Matt from Springfield:

Ha ha! Great title Danne. Though, "The Perfect Murder" is available on the Oct 14 2009 date when it was rebrodcast--they just don't duplicate archive files. Still, that's a funny archive title!
  5:56pm
Jose:

I'm new here but I concur, great PL!
  5:57pm
fred:

@zax: I have a ticket for that one too!
  5:58pm
wigwambam:

Crossing my fingers for the film set...wanna host a movie night
  5:58pm
Danne D:

Hi Jose :) welcome aboard. Make sure you check out the grand finale to the marathon (sunday night about 7pm to 12 midnight in the US eastern time zone) - it'll totally be worth it :)
  5:59pm
zax:

I'm so excited - it's my first visit to France. what a killer festival!
  5:59pm
Danne D:

oops - that's 2 sundays from now (the 13th)
  5:59pm
Matt from Springfield:

Thanks Brian and Martha! And volunteers! And pledgers!
You all rock!
