Sami says the music doesn't make him feel that way but rather it sends him in a direction of hope and kindness.

on Irene Trudel's show
Featuring Gary Lucas, arranged and conducted by Phillip Johnston - As Phillip Johnston says on his webpage "From the first concert of Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band that I heard (Ungano's Ritz Theater, in Staten Island) I was hooked, and I followed them somewhat fanatically for years... Now for the first time, after almost 30 years, having done re-arrangements and deconstructions of Raymond Scott, Billy Strayhorn, Thelonious Monk, Steve Lacy, Herbie Nichols, and others, with my groups The Microscopic Septet & Big Trouble, I've gotten together with my friend Gary Lucas, to do something with the music of Captain Beefheart." The ensemble's repertoire (which is still growing) is drawn from the entire range of Beefheartiana, from 'Safe As Milk' through 'Ice Cream For Crow', (and concentrating heavily on 'Troutmaskreplica'.) Fast 'n' Bulbous is about to release an album, and to celebrate it, they're playing a live set on WFMU at 4 PM/

The song still has legs; it was recently featured in Leonardo DiCaprio's film 'The Beach'.

He'll give us the story behind the songs and tell us why he pulled the plug.

Golem
Saturday, November 20th, 2004, 8pm - 11pm
on Transpacific Sound Paradise with Rob Weisberg
With klezmer roots and a rock and roll heart, New York based Golem radically reinterprets old Yiddish chestnuts. Or as the Washington Post put it, "Golem produces the sort of music you'd expect if the shtetl were filled with punks instead of peasants." The band drops by for a live set to celebrate the release of its new CD, "Homesick Songs."

X-Wife
Saturday, November 20th, 2004, 3pm - 6pm
on The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T
The Cherry Blossom Clinic is thrilled to welcome its second musical guest from Portugal! This 3-piece outfit has a raw post-punk sound driven by crunchy and distorted guitars, militant analog vintage drum-machines, and dirty synthesizers. Their sound calls to mind Gang of Four, Clinic and the Liars. Don't miss this session, and see them live the next night at Sin-e!

No Things

No Things are an intriguingly dark and powerful new force in the New York music scene.

Ghost
Monday, November 15th, 2004, Midnight - 3am

The Janitor From Mars is honored to broadcast the New York show from Ghost's recent tour in support of their ambitious new album, Hypnotic Underworld.

A peek into the future of world music
Saturday, November 13th, 2004, 8pm - 11pm
on Transpacific Sound Paradise with Rob Weisberg
In Europe there's actually a "world music industry" (for better or worse) and WOMEX, held in Europe every October, is the world music equivalent of CMJ (again, for better or worse.) Showcases, seminars, shmoozing, shilling, and whatever else goes on at these affairs. A lot of world musicky artists first showcase at WOMEX, then tour Europe, and THEN tour the U.S. a year or two later. So for us Americans WOMEX is a sneak peek into the future.

WFMU DJ Rob Weisberg attended this year's WOMEX in Germany as did journalists Anastasia Tsioulcas [*pronounced SOOL-KUS*] (Billboard Magazine) and Tom Pryor (Global Rhythm Magazine). They'll talk about the experience, and play new music discovered there.

TWO BANDS: Boyskout and Nagg
Saturday, November 13th, 2004, 3pm - 6pm
on The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T
This week the Cherry Blossom Clinic brings you not one, but two HOT bands coming straight outta San Francisco and both bands are led by tough-as-nails women! Boyskout play songs from their debut album 'School of Etiquette'. They have a subversive yet fun New Wave-influenced sound that calls to mind Martha & the Muffins and Siouxsie. Or The Cars, if they were tough and lesbians from San Francisco!

Nagg also play selections from their self-titled debut album. These guys play a wonderful raucous blend of punk & glam calling to mind bands like Suzi Quatro, the Runaways, and AC/DC!

Naïm Amor
Monday, November 8th, 2004, 3pm - 6pm
on Irene Trudel's show
Na�m Amor made a fateful decision in 1997 to relocate from his native Paris, France to Tucson, Arizona. There, he immediately found fertile ground there for his "avant-French pop" with his now defunkt Amor Belhom Duo, and found like minds for collaboration in Howe Gelb, Joey Burns and John Convertino of Calexico, all of whom Na�m has performed, composed, and recorded with. Amor's latest is "SOUNDTRACKS, Volume II", out on OWOM records blends jazz and cocktail kitsch with lonesome guitar licks. Na�m added vocals to the blend for this live set he recorded on a recent swing through NYC. 4 PM.
