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!

Listener Matt Fiveash spins the platters that matter

Friday, November 19th, 2004, 11pm - 2am
on Orphan program
No Things are an intriguingly dark and powerful new force in the New York music scene.

Ghost
Monday, November 15th, 2004, Midnight - 3am
on Janitor From Mars with R. Lim

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!

Listener Jim Allen assumes the musical command post this morning

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.

They will chat about archeology, hockey, and maybe even music, too, and feature a few tracks from their new album "In the Food Chain," hailed as going beyond Folktronica's usual acoustic guitar and laptop accoutrements, expertly marrying a plethora of electronic and oldfangled sounds.

The Tiger Lillies
Wednesday, November 3rd, 2004, Noon - 3pm

On Wednesday, November 3, gather your family around the radio hearth for a wholesome live performance by the Tiger Lillies. The festivities begin at 12:30 pm, on Irwin's program. The Tiger Lillies' new album is called "Punch and Judy," and it's either brilliant entertainment or yet another sign of impending societal collapse. They play, you decide.

on Irwin Chusid
Producer/Remixer/DJ Mark Vidler of Go Home Productions will present new mash-ups recorded especially for WFMU on Irwin's program at 2 PM.

on Pat Duncan's show
NYC's disturbingly cult-like, circus-related, Halloween-tent-revival orchestra The World/Inferno Friendship Society perform red-eyed soul show tunes for the swarming punk rock masses. But rest assured, they're not a simple rock band with a horn section; it's a fully-integrated orchestra of young men and women writing songs of the wine, freedoms, and foibles which make life more than waking up and going to work every day. Nine pieces -2 drummers, 4 horns, 2 guitars, way too many teeth, a piano, and yes, an accordion -- all offering you a standing invitation to Brooklyn's neverending Halloween.

Just when you thought it was over, Kenny G will top himself this week by playing 360 songs, all 30 seconds in length, in three hours. By comparision, last week's marathon 180 1-minute songs in 3 hours sounded like an Emerson, Lake and Palmer concert. And, like last week, he'll be keeping a live accuplaylist, making it as much of a workout for the fingers as it will be for the ears.

Oxbow
Tuesday, October 26th, 2004, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner
The music of San Francisco's Oxbow is a downright disturbing blend of eerie ambient drones, falling-down-the-stairs mathrock, and crushing, twisted blues all capped off with the churning, maniacal vocals of Eugene Robinson. Their live shows have been legend, full of bareboned catharsis, and even some harrowing physical moments with audience members (it should be noted that Eugene is a bonafide bodybuilder and contributor to Grappling Magazine). Through the years they've recorded with Lydia Lunch, Marianne Faithfull, and the Rova Saxophone Quartet, and are in town for a rare date at North Six in Brooklyn. We're excited to have Eugene and guitarist Niko Wenner stop by for a stripped-down electric set on the air this afternoon.

180 songs in 3 hours
Wednesday, October 20th, 2004, 3pm - 6pm
on Kenny G's Hour of Pain
Join Kenny G as he features three hours of tracks lasting exactly one minute each. That's right: Kenny will play exactly 180 tracks (give or take a few due to mic breaks, station IDs, and back announcing) over the course of the afternoon. He will be working hard for you, sweating it out trying to keep an accuplaylist live whilst throwing media around the main studio. Truly a show for the chronically impatient.

Les Georges Leningrad
Tuesday, October 19th, 2004, 11pm - 2am
on Choking On Cufflinks with Michael Goodstein
Quebecois anarchist postpunks Les Georges Leningrad may be the most interesting band currently practicing in that umbrella genre known as "postpunk."

Led by singer/ songwriter/ multi-instrumentalist MC Taylor, with lead guitarist Scott Hirsch, The Court and Spark's roots are in the punkier, Ex-Ignota. Meeting up with drummer James Kim after that band's demise they began playing quieter music.

Thursday, October 14th, 2004, 11pm - 2am

Since 1997, The Riverboat Gamblers have made a name for themselves with their rowdy and unique live shows. The California punk label Gearhead Records quickly took notice, and subsequently released the band's "Something To Crow About" LP. The intensity of the Gamblers live show has caused broken teeth, lacerated body parts, and thousands of dollars in medical bills, but all in the name of fun, and part of what's given the them such a fanatical following. Tune in for a live set from some of America's more unusual media darlings of late.

Don't be afraid just because Monica Lewinsky is a fan. Palomar return to WFMU in support of their great new album "The Revenge of Palomar." Two years ago, the New York Times said of the band: "Whimsy and sinew coexist nicely in the lean, peppy pop rock of Palomar, a three-woman, one-man band whose songs jump from blithe choruses to wiry guitar patterns to hefty distortion, all at the service of the lyrics' articulate ambivalence."

Who knows what that means.

on Choking On Cufflinks with Michael Goodstein
Form a band, play shows for your friends, make some new friends, record a single on your friend's label, give it to your friends and the bands you play with, discover that your records are going for obscene sums of cash on eBay, get invited to play festivals throughout England, fly across the ocean, play New York, sell out shows: A year in the life of Bloc Party. Iis it a new British invasion? Bloc Party are four charming boys from south London who seem to effortlessly create Post Punk anthems and deliver them brimming with the rare combination of the awkward charm of youthful enthusiasm and musical proficiency and understanding needed to create atmospheric pop. Iinfectious Pop songs for fans of Interpol, Brian Eno's poppier work, the Rapture, etc.

Steve Mackay and the Radon Ensemble
Tuesday, October 5th, 2004, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner
Saxophonist Steve Mackay has been publicly worshipped by James Chance, and with good reason: this is the guy who played on the Stooges' 1970 Funhouse record, and is again back on the road destroying concert audiences with Iggy and company. Steve's activities number greatly though: he's performed with the late great Snakefinger, backed the Violent Femmes, and as of the last few years has hooked up with various cosmic travellers of the illustrious Radon experimental label with fiery free-rock improvisations. Steve is hitting town for a bill with Hawkwind's Nik Turner at Tonic on October 1st, and visits the WFMU studios for an afternoon of free-jazz psychedelic blowout, joined by a crew that includes Ed and Vinny from Temple of Bon Matin.
