John Wilkes Booze
Thursday, November 13th, 2003, 9am - Noon
on Inner Ear Detour with David
The sweaty, sleazy, searing soul-punk of John Wilkes Booze evokes fantasies of the Dirtbombs merging with the Gizmos, fronted by Marc Bolan. The band's points of reference are wide (Yoko Ono, Melvin Van Peebles, Albert Ayler), but when their amps get cranked up to 11, be prepared for a marvelous electrical shock of goopy sleaze.

Irwin Chusid
Wednesday, November 12th, 2003, Noon - 3pm
Danish chanteuse Marie Frank will perform live on Irwin's "Gender Bias" segment from 2-3 pm on Wednesday, November 12. Marie will perform new songs composed by New Yorker Neill Furio, who will provide electric bass accompaniment to Marie's voice and guitar.

Tuesday, November 11th, 2003, 8pm - 11pm
on Dan Mackta's show
Baby Dayliner is a one-man show of epic proportion. He's established himself as a preeminent force on the NYC club circuit and released his debut album on the Brassland label. We'll talk, play some music off the CD, and maybe hear some unreleased stuff.

Kelley Stoltz and Spiral Stairs
Tuesday, November 11th, 2003, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner
Bay Area singer/songwriter Kelley Stoltz has put out one of the best eccentric pop records of the year, Antique Glow, a shining example of what's still up the sleeve of Velvets-n-psychedelia-lovin' fellows all by their lonesome with an 8-track recording machine. Kelley's joined today by Spiral Stairs (ex-Pavement, currently of the Preston School of Industry), both playing their own tunes as well as live renditions of songs from Echo and the Bunnymen's 1980 debut LP Crocodiles (which Kelley has covered solo in its entirety on a release in 2002). We'll also be spinning some Bunnymen odddities and rarities, so get the raincoats out and smoke machines going!

on Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock

Aspera
Sunday, November 9th, 2003, 5pm - 8pm
on Moonshine Heather with Eva

Bobbito, aka Cucumber Slice
Friday, November 7th, 2003, 3pm - 6pm
on Nickel And Dime Radio with $mall ¢hange
Nickel and Dime radio rolls out the red carpet for long time underground radio head Bobbito, a man who wears many hats these days. While coming to fame through the legendary Stretch and Bobbito show (arguably one of the best hip hop radio shows of all time) and founder of Fondle 'Em records, Bob keeps busy these days running current label Fruitmeat, part owner and music director of the Martinez Gallery in Crooklyn, just came out with the book 'Where Did You Get Those', a modern sneaker bible, and has a new mix CD "Earthtones" hitting stores soon. Needless to say, lots to talk about with one of the more positive folks out there in clubland. Respect...

Kudzu Wish & Cinemechanica
Thursday, November 6th, 2003, 11pm - 2am
on Pat Duncan's show
Get a taste of what the current Kudzumechanica tour has to offer! Both bands play hard-edged chaotic rock that comes from the southern indie rock tradition. Kudzu Wish are out in support of their latest LP from Ernest Jenning Record Co., "Reverse Hurricane", and Cinemechanica have recently released their own debut EP. With influences ranging from Superchunk to Iron Maiden to Refused, and with a revolving cast of band members filling in for missing persons this time around, it should be a stunning precursor to the local shows that round out the band's jaunt.

on Dave Emory's show
Part 430 in Dave Emory's "For the Record" series

Michael Yonkers Band
Tuesday, November 4th, 2003, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner
Minnesota-based Michael Yonkers had a brief flirtation with Sire records in the late 1960's, venturing out into a world of raw fuzz-trash, jerry-rigged electronics, homebuilt guitars, amps and noise effects that were lightyears ahead of anything happening in the day's garage rock scene (even to some extent the Stooges). His LP Microminiature Love was rediscovered by the DeStijl label a few years back, reissued on Sub Pop this year, and stands as a mindblowing, psychotic downer masterpiece that communicates with aliens on the same level of such later bands as Chrome and Pere Ubu. Now 57, Yonkers and his band drag out the machines to New York City and plug in on Brian's show this afternoon.

The Cuts
Tuesday, November 4th, 2003, Noon - 3pm
on Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock
Oakland, California's finest return to WFMU on the strength of one of the best albums of the year, "2 Over 10."

Geoff Muldaur
Monday, October 27th, 2003, 3pm - 6pm

Geoff's written new orchestrations to the piano pieces Beiderbecke wrote and put together the Futuristic Ensemble to play this music and other Bix-related numbers. Also on the project are special guests like Loudon Wainwright and daughter Martha. It's a remarkable album that refuses to leave Irene's CD player.

Optiganally Yours
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2003, Noon - 3pm
on Irwin Chusid
Optiganally Yours performs on Irwin's program, Weds. Oct. 22 from noon to 2 PM. This duo showcases the unique sounds of the Optigan, a long-obsolete parlor organ made by Mattel in the early 1970s.

Pea Hicks is the resident Optiganist, accompanying the vocal and guitar stylings of Rob Crow. Due to the size, weight, and unreliable nature of the Optigan, Hicks will be using a laptop-based simulation (or Laptoptigan) for this performance, but over the radio you can't tell the diff.

on Busy Doing Nothing with Charlie
"No one left for the restrooms when I got onstage/I can rock the mic to 'Silence' by John Cage." He's a wordy, hyperintellectual motormouth with more references than Google. He used to rap hilariously clever smut ("My dandy voice makes the most anti-choice granny's panties moist"); now he rhymes about even dirtier subjects -- like abuse of power on corporate and government levels, and ritual genital mutilation (you know, like, circumcision). Never circumscribed, the rapper who's educated, not adjudicated, will stop by to chat and show off some new rhymes, around 11 am.

Look out, it's "Gay Bar" Remix Mania
Friday, October 3rd, 2003, 5pm - 6pm
on Re:Mixology with DJ Jesuspants
Way back in May, we stumbled upon the solo vocal track for the runaway UK hit by the Electric 6 "Gay Bar", and a dream was born. The dream was called "The Great Gay Bar Magnum Dopus", and we envisioned DJs around the world (and WFMU) doing their own, specially commissioned, remix of just one song -- this song.

on Aircheck
(Since so many listeners missed this one due to the big Northeast blackout, we're going to reair this Aircheck from August 14th): 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. This particular program came from Nick's 2nd Anniversary Show in February of 1990, and featured Daniel Johnston via telephone from his home in West Virginia and a whole elaborate cast of characters played by Daniel himself. He's joined for three songs played along in the studio by Yo La Tengo, then the trio of Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley, and Dave Schramm.

The Ex
Tuesday, September 30th, 2003, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner
Since 1979, Holland's greatest musical export has been setting the bar higher and higher. Starting off as political punks active in their country's squat movement, the band has grown into an incredible example of living its message via passionate and prolific output both musical and print-related. Through the years, their world travels have allowed them to grow and absorb many genres of music into their sound, from European folk, to improvisational jazz and African pop; most recently they've been frequent visitors to Ethiopia and have championed largely-unheard and wonderful music from all over the African continent. Live, the current lineup of Terrie, Andy, G.W. Sok, RozeMarie, and Katherina are a veritable tornado of pounding rhythms and dissonant twin guitars, tearing up the stage more each time they return to New York. They've kindly invited Brian to broadcast their 75 minute Knitting Factory show from September 9th.

Matmos
Friday, September 26th, 2003, 5pm - 6pm
on Re:Mixology with DJ Jesuspants
The San Francisco-based duo of MC Schmidt and Drew Daniel have created some of contemporary electronic music's most innovative records. Drawing on classic ideas of music concrete, composition and sampling, as well as out-of-left-field concepts such as building rhythmic collages out of the sounds of plastic surgery, latex clothing, rat cages and more, Matmos produce sounds of the unexpected (even promising an accompanying tap dancer today!). They've just arrived back in the states fresh from a world tour as the backing ensemble for Bjork in time to release their own new disc on Matador, "The Civil War." Tune in for a rare sound experience.
