A pennant-winning battery of songland. Ongoing feature: Single File, a half-hour of randomly selected small records with big holes.

The Citizen Kane of adult entertainment.

Plenty of Tull. Some other bands too if they rock.

" 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.

Conversations with creators and thinkers who are charting the way forward in a tech-saturated society. Tech, community, video games, and whatever else is next.

Music with vocals weird & wonderful -- beatboxing, yodels, auction chants, Tuvan throatsinging, & eerie polyphonies.

Artists, DJs and more characters from the music industry join former host of Hello Children, Faye for cutting-edge performances and sets curated with signature incisive charm and pop sensibility.

Grand pianos in the surf, singing frogs, hyphenated psych, outtakes, live collaging, twangy drone, old folk, and ephemeral pop.

A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and the queer threw up at the sight of that.

Beats mismatched. New mystic moods. The International Style. Pressed and dressed. Queasy listening. New ways to fail. More is more. Backroom room tones.

Official Crumb Cake Capital Of The World.

Nothing less than feelings.

It's time to fall out the window with me.

An exploration into the musical output of religious cults, new religious movements, and individuals of a spiritually inspired and divine nature.

Soundtrack music from the first silent forward. If it was written for the moving image, we'll play it. Library music included; popcorn optional.

All the blues all the time. An antidote to the moribund, corny and/or humorless blues programming generally found on the radio.

Music for the revolution in my head: choogling punks; power pop, both skinny-tied and long-haired; soul shouters and girl groups; bubblegum and acid rock; global fuzz; weirdos and outsiders, and the Weirdos and the Outsiders; Archie Shepp and J. Geils. Plus, live bands.

A sonic collage both unpredictable and fluid. Think cosmic synth, heavy acid rock psych, international pop, and the latest in experimental bedroom projects.

Memories of music. I'll take you back in time into the present sounds of today and yesteryear.

Come for the peace and tranquility; stay for the guttural screaming.

Everything I do is gonna be funky.

Genre-surfing tokenism.

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.

Far out stories from fantastic authors
read to you
by a busy brain
in a little box.

Twangs of all stripes and stuff that ends in -billy.

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

New and vintage beats and pieces, with more than the occasional wrong turn at Albuquerque.

The forgotten flypaper strip entangling the flotsam and detritus of pop culture.

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.

"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 show that focuses on sound and music from India, Africa and elsewhere across the Indian Ocean.

Southern inspirational dada.

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.

A genre-less playlist of music old and new, plus selections from the WFMU vinyl new bin and the Free Music Archive.

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.)

Intimate electronics, bad poetry, tender murk, and tired humans making the best of it. Features live sound collaging, too.

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.

Female-fronted pop from the past, present, and future; from all over the globe. And the occasional man.

This isn't the kind of show you take home to your family. Get your polka shoes on and get ready to rumble.

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

One hour; 23 or 24 soul 45s.

The run-around drill sergeant of love meets the freeform radio nurse in an international popularity crisis. Twang, dub, noise, rockers, aliens, drum machines, foreigners, imported goods, songs, rumbles, hollers, blips and squiggles, along with an occasional musical number.

A yurt for the transgenred.

Fake punk, rap for listeners, and the sound of a car rolling gracefully into a tree.

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

Music for kids like you!

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.

This isn't a radio show, it's a party. And everyone's invited!

Popular and Unpopular Music From Around the World

Dishin' out the hits!

DIY music for the spirit; bummer jams for happy people; terrestrial music for space travelers; punchy, post-punk jitters, synth drones for the mindful; fuzz-drenched, basement rock to sooth the soul...

Futile expeditions to the edges of good taste, bad morals, and ugly intententions. Late night drives somewhere between Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle and The White Castle of Fear.
Second Hand Pop, MIDI grunge soundalikes, and uncanny Japanese karaoke.

An odyssey of the ears powered by the moon, the stars, & a pixie dusting of ecstatic electricity...

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.

Tangents, parenthetical asides, and digressions.

A small-c catholic preaching to the unevensong choir.

High and low energy music.

The earth's halo is grounded in nowhere places.

The best of classic, contemporary and new emerging artists across the electronic scene worldwide.
