"Ho Ho Ho Ho" on the Audio Kitchen
Wednesday, August 27th, 2003, 7pm - 8pm
on The Audio Kitchen with The Professor
The Professor presents holiday season spectacular full of all the mirth, over-anticipation, and greed that relentlessly comes around every single year. Expect a sweaty Santa suit of yuletide cacophony, with plenty of unwrapped toys, poultry bones and more foul versions of Jingle Bells than any one person should witness in a lifetime.

"A Little Bit of Everything" - 1928 experimental radio program
Tuesday, August 26th, 2003, 7pm - 8pm
on Centennial Songs / The Antique Phonograph Music Program with MAC
In 1928, most music on the radio came to listeners live -- performed in the studio. Broadcast programming was new, and threatened the aged industry of phonographs and records. In an attempt to find a niche in radio, the Edison company engineered a series of pre-recorded music programs using an experimental long-play, 30-rpm, 30-minutes-per-side record. Hear one of these rare programs in its entirety on Thomas Edison's Attic, Tuesday, August 26th at 7 PM.

Tuesday, August 26th, 2003, 3pm - 6pm

Tune in as Brian Turner chats on the horn with Steve Mackay, sax-blower from the Stooges' Fun House. He's got great tales to tell from his whole musical past: he just played with reunited Smegma, and is back on tour with Iggy and company as we speak playing Roseland in NYC Wednesday night.

Jim Campilongo
Monday, August 25th, 2003, 3pm - 6pm
on Trash, Twang and Thunder with Meredith Ochs
Meredith was so taken with the sounds of guitarist Jim Campilongo's string bending that she adopted it as her regular talkover music.�Guitar Player magazine liked it so much that they wrote:�"Nobody weaves together jazz, blues and country with the silky finesse of Jim Campilongo...bends emanate from his weathered Deluxe Reverb like ghostly wails from a haunted castle. There are spirits in those licks."

Andrew Bird
Sunday, August 24th, 2003, 10pm - Midnight
on A440 / Stochastic Hit Parade with Bethany Ryker
After saying goodbye to the Windy City last year, Andrew Bird took his violin and a stash of ideas to an Illinois farm where he set up camp in a barn-turned-recording studio to create his latest album, Weather Systems. With this move, Bird left his post as Bowl of Fire front man and ventured into solo territory. Here at WFMU, he again takes matters into his own hands, showing remarkable dexterity by delivering his sinister-charmed lyrics atop lush layers of virtuosic counterpoint and playful accompaniment all with the ease of whistling a tune. This session isn't to be missed; listen in as Bird premieres new material from his latest machinations in the barn.

Rah Bras
Saturday, August 23rd, 2003, 5pm - 7pm
on The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T
Occasionally, Boo Rah, Jean Rah and Isabellarah Rubella emerge from their geodesic dome in Virginia to produce some of the most wacked-out messed-up pop you've ever heard! We're thrilled that they graced the Cherry Blossom Clinic on one of these occasions! (Originally aired Fall of 2002.)

Don Bolles and Professor Canteloupe
Friday, August 22nd, 2003, 5pm - 6pm
on Re:Mixology with DJ Jesuspants
In the land on 10,000 donut shops (Los Angeles, California), there lurks two twisted fellows who produce seriously warped phono-montage hours on KXLU radio every Wednesday night, using nothing but turntables and tapedecks for their psychedelic immersions. Professor Canteloupe and his partner Don Bolles (the latter being a former member of such luminous outfits as the Germs, Psychic TV, 45 Grave, the Centimeters and more) have never so much as touched an MP3 or laptop for their soundmaking purposes. Their show is called Glossolalia, and consists of the duo as human Twister game with records and tapes over one mixing console for an hour tonight. Weird exotica, cults speaking in tongues, drones and Mystics of Bali movie audio clips will abound.

Pal Joey
Friday, August 22nd, 2003, 3pm - 5pm
on Nickel And Dime Radio with $mall ¢hange
NYC house/hip hop producer/legend Pal Joey steps up to the Nickel and Dime airwaves.� Responsible for one of the greatest dance rekkids of all time, 'Hot Music', homeboy could've retired on that schlitz, but instead made many, many, many other sick joints over the past decade under various names, including classics Earth People's 'Dance', stuff on his own label Loop d' Loop, and production for the KRS-One masterpieces 'Love's Gonna Getcha' and 'Black Cop'.� He's a great selecter to boot.� Edutainment f'real...

Huey Meaux
Thursday, August 21st, 2003, 6pm - 7pm
on Aircheck
Though best known as a record producer, Huey Meaux "The Crazy Cajun" lit-up late night radio like no other. Broadcasting out of KPFT in Houston back in the 70s, Meaux mixed in raunchy rock and roll with drunken call-ins and prison dedications. Now a convict himself, the pill-fueled frenzy Meaux maintained on the air has made him a legend among lowbrows.

Thanks to Nick Hill, host of WFMU's Live Music Faucet (which went off the schedule in the mid 1990's), listeners will get a chance to hear a legendary hour of radio often asked about here.

The DFA
Friday, August 8th, 2003, 5pm - 6pm
on Re:Mixology with DJ Jesuspants
The DFA, a label and production house run by Tim Goldsworthy, James Murphy, and Jonathan Galkin, has injected a raw, post-punk bite into NYC's dance scene and adding a badly-needed new sheen to both the rock and electronic camps. Having scored huge underground hits with the Rapture's "House of Jealous Lovers" 12" as well as Murphy's solo-DJ guise the LCD Soundsystem (whose "Losing My Edge" 12" was a hilarious shopping list spoof of hipster-influence-one-upsmanship), the DFA crew has been beseiged with industry-heads waving big clients at them, including one Janet Jackson. In between sessions recording the new Black Dice record, the DFA took an hour out to produce an exclusive show for WFMU's Re:Mixology, promising an crazy mash of psych, kraut, soul, and "other weirdness", not to mention two exclusive DFA tracks unheard by the masses. Turn it up!

on Aircheck
Carl Nordsee, a British DJ manning a pirate station off the coast of England, is merrily minding his business in 1970 playing his Kinks and Spencer Davis records when two boats approach his ship and try to take him off the air. Despite his cool Brit demeanor, Nordsee can't hide the fact he is freaking out, warning the intruders (who are pointing torches at the bow) that they are likely to get electrocuted, and desperately pleading for help from the mainland. The whole time the hits keep a-flowing.

Wednesday, August 6th, 2003, 2am - 6am
on Orphan program
Just before skipping back over the pond after their summer tour, these three Parisian lads stop by WFMU with Brooklyn anti-folk local Rachel Lipson to perform�the wonderful songwriting they're known for with pieces�so new, they're not even on their forthcoming Shrimper Records album "Mash Concrete Metal Mushroom."

"Dictator Pt. 3"
Thursday, July 31st, 2003, 7pm - 8pm
on Joe Frank's show

The Reverend Lester Knox of Tifton, Georgia
Thursday, July 31st, 2003, 6pm - 7pm
on Aircheck
Insanely over-the-top gospel radio from the heart of south Georgia circa 1980-92. Rev. Knox purchased tons of time on WDIT-radio to spread the word, and it's up there with the greatest stuff by the likes of Rev. Louis Overstreet, Elder Beck, and Claude Ely. You'll hear: buzzing, short-circuited organ behind manic preaching, one-chord guitar bashing in what can only be described as the style of Hasil Adkins, and other sounds to literally scare the Hell out of you. This program is a sneak peak at a forthcoming collection on the new Smack Shire label, boiled down from 80 hours of tapes. Don't miss this.

Steve Wynn
Thursday, July 31st, 2003, 3pm - 6pm

Duran Duran Duran + Moblin
Wednesday, July 30th, 2003, 11pm - 2am
on Advanced D & D with Donna Summer
Holy mother of Jesus! Hell hath spawned two new demons, one insane, vile, quite funny, and maybe a tad lovable, and the other friendly and fiendishly clever. Moblin is poised on the brink of superstardom for his complex and amazingly subtle glitchy vaguely hip hop compositions, and Duran Duran Duran has probably won the world over already not only for having the greatest band name in history, but for his searing breakcore mishmash of noise, silliness, and gay-porn lifestyle. They'll be rocking in the studio for the whole show so expect some live sets, some DJing, and plenty of chatter.

Jumpin' For Jesus
Wednesday, July 30th, 2003, 7pm - 8pm
on The Audio Kitchen with The Professor
Much beloved all over the world, Jesus Christ is one of the most popular guys around. And although he hasn't walked the earth for a couple thousand years, he still seems to maintain a very personal relationship with a lot of folks. This episode of the Audio Kitchen looks at the lighter side of Jesus through some recordings of people fooling around in the name of, and with, the King of Kings.

Jenifer Jackson
Wednesday, July 30th, 2003, Noon - 3pm
on Irwin Chusid
Jenifer's third released album, "So High," has been a Gender Bias favorite since its release earlier this year. (Irwin admits to overplaying the song "The Power of Love," because it gives him goosebumps.) Among other projects, Jackson composed the score for the indie film "Daydream Believer," and cut an album of jazz duets with her dad. She's co-written songs with Austin's Troy Campbell and with Nashville's Swan Dive, and co-starred off-off-Broadway with Rosie Perez in the play "Brooklyn Bridge." Jackson has collaborated with Medeski, Martin, & Wood, toured the US dueting with Jules Shear, and been a perennial showstopper at the Loser's Lounge musical tribute series.

Darren Bergstein
Wednesday, July 30th, 2003, 2am - 6am
on Orphan program
Editor/head writer of E|I Magazine (formerly I|E), Darren has also been an archivist/historian/collector of electronic and experimental music for 30 years.

Also expect some choice tunes from his collection.

The Tallboys
Saturday, July 26th, 2003, 5pm - 7pm
on The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T
These 4 Brooklyn women bring slammin new rock 'n' roll that's comparable to Kleenex, early Raincoats and early Au Pairs. They have a modern postpunk sound that ain't no '80s rehash. Catch this session on the Cherry Blossom Clinic and you can say you heard them before they were huge. Then go see them live this same night, July 26 at Rare on W. 14th with Hominid.

Go Home Productions
Friday, July 25th, 2003, 5pm - 6pm
on Re:Mixology with DJ Jesuspants
Go Home Productions is one fellow from the city of Watford, England with a big ol' record collection and thankfully nefarious desire to do some wicked things to popular icons. Witness: the Madonna/Sex Pistols bastardization "Ray of Gob." The mere fact that he recognizes the true genius/remix potential of the Osmonds' "Crazy Horses" earns him a spot on the Re:Mixology schedule, where much unheard and new material is promised to be premiered.

Nikki Corvette
Thursday, July 24th, 2003, 8pm - 11pm
on Music To Spazz By with Dave the Spazz

The Professor presents more Bob Lassiter
Thursday, July 24th, 2003, 6pm - 7pm
on Aircheck
The Host of WFMU's Audio Kitchen, checks in with the second in his two-part overview of the career of radio veteran Bob "Mad Dog" Lassiter on Aircheck. As a talk host, Lassiter specialized in pissing off the elderly, Christians, and a variety of intellectually-challenged listeners, and turning them into irate, and ultimately entertaining, callers. Compared to the lock-step right wing bozos that dominate talk radio these days, Lassiter's mischievous and misanthropic style is practically high art. In these two episodes of Aircheck, The Professor will feature plenty of Lassiter: hostile phone calls, a couple monologues, and Bob himself talking about his strange career in radio.

Going Out and Getting It On
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2003, 7pm - 8pm
on The Audio Kitchen with The Professor
For better or worse, in our society courtship is a strategic gateway to pleasure, companionship, human reproduction, and perhaps all three. It's never easy, and often there's a lot of talkin' that goes on during the dating process. Now and then such discussions are actually caught on tape, and every once in a while these recordings will fall into the hands of The Professor. Let's eavesdrop...

The Fugs
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2003, 3pm - 6pm
on Kenny G's Hour of Pain
Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg founded the legendary Fugs in NYC's Lower East Side 39 years ago, challenging the war pigs, rules of personal freedom and even the definition of music itself, on and off ever since.

Ted Leo & the Pharmacists
Saturday, July 19th, 2003, 5pm - 7pm
on The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T
Ted Leo has been creating some of the best underground rock for over a decade in bands like Chisel. These days he plays melodic, poignant, evocative rock with "modern" lo-fi & distortions. His music calls to mind Nick Lowe, Thin Lizzy, The Kinks, Stephin Merrit, Alex Chilton, and The Jam, and his live sets are so intense that he's like the punk-rock Bruce Springsteen! Hear for yourself when he plays live on the Cherry Blossom Clinic. He'll also be at the Siren Fest at Coney Island on Saturday July 19.

Big City Orchestra present "Chimpy"
Friday, July 18th, 2003, 5pm - 6pm
on Re:Mixology with DJ Jesuspants
The Big City Orchestra have been around since 1979, throwing proverbial audio grenades into the corporate and mass media trenches with samples, found soundbytes, reworked pop nostalgia, dark soundscapes, and more. Today, they present an open mic snapshot of our Commander In Chief, who digs his own trench. You'll laugh, but then, you'll cry. Download a ready-made CD cover for this show here.

In these two episodes of Aircheck, The Professor will feature plenty of Lassiter: hostile phone calls, a couple monologues, and Bob himself talking about his strange career in radio. (Part 1 of 2)

And best of all, we'll hear another kitty love song!

Comets on Fire
Tuesday, July 15th, 2003, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner
Total guitar rock meltdown. Comets On Fire have members of bands like California's Six Organs of Admittance and the Low Down, and their first East Coast shows are gonna clean up this town of False Rock for good. Think Chrome's warped sci-fi attack, Blue Cheer with one guy solely playing an echoplex pedal, Japan's High Rise with more Detroit in them. Their latest disc is called Field Recordings From the Sun, and Alternative Tentacles just reissued their totally brain-frying first record. Ethan, Utrillo, Noel, Ben and Ben hit town to play with the Major Stars in Brooklyn, but on the way, they stopped by Jersey City to completely destroy the studios. Do not miss this!

Wayne Butane
Friday, July 11th, 2003, 5pm - 6pm
on Re:Mixology with DJ Jesuspants
Thankfully, people like Wayne Butane exist and have a lot of time to take millions of audio snippets and assemble them into brain-altering rivers of sound gush, that often will leave you chuckling in a most Beavis-and-Butthead-like manner before it all ends. Pure genius for the short-attention span potty-humor loving gnomes in the audience.

on Inner Ear Detour with David
Stumbling into town from New Orleans, the Morning 40 Federation serves up an intoxicating brew of sloppy, fun-drenched, raunch 'n roll on the theme of drinking, being drunk, being hungover, and drinking some more. Musically, they fall somewhere between King Oliver, the Insect Trust, and the John Spencer Blues Explosion. Fun is at a premium at all times. Feel free to drink along at home.

Getting Into The Music Biz
Wednesday, July 9th, 2003, 7pm - 8pm
on The Audio Kitchen with The Professor
It takes a lotta work to become famous, especially in the music business. And aspiring to music stardom often creates a nice wake of discarded recordings along the way.
