Tom Brosseau Friday, October 13th, 2006, 9am - Noon
on
Give The Drummer Some with Doug Schulkind
The old-timey music of the '20s and '30s was actually a revival of the music of an era half a century before. Tom Brosseau, a 27-year-old North Dakota native, sings songs of lost love that shimmer like aural tintypes, harkening back to that earlier time. His guitar is lovely, a harmonica adds color, the pump organ is a masterful touch. But the ingredient in this mix that will flat out give you chills is Brosseau's voice, which sounds eerily like a high-lonesome reincarnation of Jeff Buckley--with faint echoes of Karen Dalton.

Aircheck
It's hard to imagine a time when hip-hop didn't rule the pop charts or the radio airwaves. But actually it's not that long ago that hip-hop and rap were still considered "just a fad" and when the music on the radio was relegated to specialty shows on weekends and late nights on those stations (college and commercial) that even included it in their schedules. On this
week's Aircheck on WFMU (Sept. 22nd 6PM) Billy Jam will present a mix of snippets from a wide variety of New York radio stations, spanning from the early 80's to the early 90's, that gave love to the "fad" that refused to go away.

Later in the program, Sweden's Jakob Olausson with Susanne Skov Gronlund, will craft beautiful tunes that touch on lazy cosmic excursions. Jacob's been described this way, "If Skip Spence were somehow, instead of finding his white-frocked self stuck in the rat-infested hole that was Bellevue, transplanted to the pine forests north of Malmo, Sweden, in a sonic nest of gimbri, bells, shakers, and clothed in Tibetan silk, one would come slightly
closer to the reality of Jakob Olausson's migratory musical whims.."

Brian Turner
Green Bay, Wisconsin is the smallest locale in the USA to own a major
league football team, has some hellish winters, and also is the home base
of a guy named Kevin who has sent forth one of the stranger 7" singles to pass
through WFMU in recent memory. Capturing the stumbling blues of early Royal Trux,
the creeping synth and echoed percussion of the Legendary Pink Dots, and
the android alienation of Gary Numan (if he was recording some 70's DIY
demo with a cheap organ in a dank basement), there's about four other
unpeggable things floating around in each one of these songs that you just have to
shrug your
shoulders and stop trying to be so analytical all the damn time. Check out what's
sure to be an interesting live session today.
