Playlists and Archives for Brian Turner

Tuesdays 3pm - 6pm on WFMU 91.1 fm 90.1 fm wfmu.org

Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

Upcoming events:

Tuesday, July 7th, 3pm - 6pm: Afterparty

Texas psychedelic punk meltdown with a full house of assorted past and present players of the Houston underground. Members of Rusted Shut, Pain Teens, Culturcide, Future Blondes and Truth Decay join Brian and get the room sticky with what sounds like a residue extracted from ZZ Top's Afterburner outtakes, with a good dose of Flipper and Revolting Cocks thrown in. Even some Butthole Surfers covers promised!

Tuesday, July 21st, 3pm - 6pm: Billy Bao

When not plopped on a stage at the No Fun Festival spewing barbs at confused audiences, Basque-via-Brooklyn transplant Mattin has helped the experimental and noise scenes chase its tail in circles via assorted musical, anti-musical and multimedia projects (a "collaboration" with Merzbow was pretty much him bringing a glass of water out to Masami Akita in mid-performance). The official bio places Billy Bao as a Nigerian punk rock vocalist fronting a band he fell in with in Bilbao; this rescheduled WFMU airing includes Mattin, Barry Weisblat, Margarida Garcia, Tim Barnes and Taku Unami. It happened while Brian was downstairs paying Ibby's Falafel deliveryman for the band's dinner so he can't quite recount what went on. We still can't quite figure it out either but hope you will enjoy it.

Tuesday, July 28th, 3pm - 6pm: Kurt Vile and the Violators

Chubby Checker, Schoolly D, Hall & Oates, Robert Hazard, Left-Eye Lisa; some of them may have monuments to themselves in their hometown City of Brotherly Love, or at least a signed glossy at Pat's Steaks. Kurt Vile is a Philly talent whose largeness cannot be denied; while his album debut Constant Hitmaker hinted at a future of hazy bedroom-pop Tom Pettyisms, his last few releases on Mexican Summer and Richie Records have painted up expansive Spacemen 3-worthy soundscapes with no lesser songwriting greatness. His next album Chilidsh Prodigy releases on Matador this fall, and Kurt returns to WFMU once again, this time for Brian's show, with his full band the Violators in tow.
