Dave Foster & Mark Humble
Monday, May 21st, Noon - 3pm
on
Irene Trudel's show
As a founding member of the pop purveyors Bubble, Dave Foster moved on to making music with the Losers Lounge. Dave then started hosting "Bubble Do the Beatles" for adults and their children. He's also released a couple of solo albums of power-pop wonderfulness. Mark Humble is a longtime friend and fellow musician, first heard on WFMU's airwaves at the Simon & Garfunkel-inspired duo "Perry Humble." Mark Humble just released CD, One Centre Street, featuring many melodic, moody and often quite funny tunes. Humble has also contributed songs and soundtracks to Scrubs, A&E’s Biography and The Smithsonian Institute. They both drop by to pay a few solo tunes in WFMU's Love Room.
The Long Gones Tuesday, May 22nd, Noon - 3pm
on
Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock
The Long Gones take their name from the song "Long Gone" by Cinicinatti legends the Customs, and continue that band's fine Queen City tradition of high energy rock and roll!
+DOG+ Tuesday, May 22nd, 3pm - 6pm
on
Brian Turner's show
Formed in Osaka in 1990 but residing in Southern California since 1997, +DOG+ has been a central project of Steve Davis' excellent Love Earth Music label and scene, with a group output of 36 albums to date. Direct, adrenalin-jolt ugliness abounds in a sound that has been called the noise equivalent to an amalgamation of Ildjarn, Poison Idea, and Black Flag's Damaged. Oppression, destruction, power electronic chaos today!
Artist Jordan Sullivan deals with themes of Americana and remembrance via photography, prose, artifacts, and sculpture. The exhibition "Natural History" explores his grandparents’ relationship through the lens of WWII Germany, where they first met. Using such touchstones, Sullivan widens the scope in which memory is conceived, sliding between individual and collective registers.
Tift Merritt
Saturday, May 26th, 6am - 9am
on
Shrunken Planet with Jeffrey Davison
Country/folk singer-songwriter Tift Merritt, with four studio albums and two live albums over the course of a decade (and another record on the way), graced the WFMU studios on a recent sunny Saturday afternoon and recorded an electrifying set of six songs, accompanying herself on guitar and piano. Possessing an extraordinarily beautiful voice, and in complete command of her powers, this is not a set you will want to miss. Tift also produces a show on KRTS out of Marfa, Texas, called "The Spark", which "explores the real lives and processes of the people behind great works of art." As if that isn't enough, her muses entice her now and again into picking up a camera as well.
Ceremony
Saturday, May 26th, 3pm - 6pm
on
The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T
The Cherry Blossom Clinic is stoked to welcome Ceremony to the WFMU airwaves on May 26 Sat 3-6pm. The Rohnert Park, CA band has been pummeling audiences with their brand of hardcore for nearly a decade. With their latest excellent album "Zoo" - their first for Matador - they're refining their attack, adding the precision of Mission of Burma and Wire into the mix. Their live shows are already legendary for their intensity, so tune in Sat May 26 between 3-6pm to the Cherry Blossom Clinic to hear Ceremony bring it hard and live!
