DJ Simon Dine Friday, August 1st, 2003, 3pm - 5pm
on
Nickel and Dime Radio with $mall ¢hange
$mall ¢hange rolls out the red carpet for noted UK producer/DJ Simon Dine. He was the man behind the sampler in Adventures in Stereo and his current project Noonday Underground (with vocalist Daisy Martey) is the shiz-nit, a fine mix of 60's sesiblities balanced with modern production. Plus homeslice has ill records.
Duran Duran Duran + Moblin Wednesday, July 30th, 2003, 11pm - 2am
on
Advanced D & D with Donna Summer
Holy mother of Jesus! Hell hath spawned two new demons, one insane, vile, quite funny, and maybe a tad lovable, and the other friendly and fiendishly clever. Moblin is poised on the brink of superstardom for his complex and amazingly subtle glitchy vaguely hip hop compositions, and Duran Duran Duran has probably won the world over already not only for having the greatest band name in history, but for his searing breakcore mishmash of noise, silliness, and gay-porn lifestyle. They'll be rocking in the studio for the whole show so expect some live sets, some DJing, and plenty of chatter.
Jenifer Jackson Wednesday, July 30th, 2003, Noon - 3pm
on
Irwin's show
Jenifer's third released album, "So High," has been a Gender Bias favorite since its release earlier this year. (Irwin admits to overplaying the song "The Power of Love," because it gives him goosebumps.) Among other projects, Jackson composed the score for the indie film "Daydream Believer," and cut an album of jazz duets with her dad. She's co-written songs with Austin's Troy Campbell and with Nashville's Swan Dive, and co-starred off-off-Broadway with Rosie Perez in the play "Brooklyn Bridge." Jackson has
collaborated with Medeski, Martin, & Wood, toured the US dueting with Jules Shear, and been a perennial showstopper at the Loser's Lounge musical tribute series.
The Tallboys Saturday, July 26th, 2003, 5pm - 7pm
on
The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T
These 4 Brooklyn women bring slammin new rock 'n' roll
that's comparable to Kleenex, early Raincoats and early Au Pairs. They have a modern postpunk sound that ain't no '80s rehash. Catch this session on the Cherry Blossom Clinic and you can say you heard them before they were huge. Then go see them live this same night, July 26 at Rare on W. 14th with Hominid.
Go Home Productions Friday, July 25th, 2003, 5pm - 6pm
on
Re:Mixology with DJ Jesuspants
Go Home Productions is one fellow from the city of Watford, England with a big ol' record collection and thankfully nefarious desire to do some wicked things to popular icons. Witness: the Madonna/Sex Pistols bastardization "Ray of Gob." The mere fact that he recognizes the true genius/remix potential of the Osmonds' "Crazy Horses" earns him a spot on the Re:Mixology schedule, where much unheard and new material is promised to be premiered.
The Fugs Wednesday, July 23rd, 2003, 3pm - 6pm
on
Kenny G's show
Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg founded the legendary Fugs in NYC's Lower
East Side 39 years ago, challenging the war pigs, rules of personal
freedom and even the definition of music itself, on and off ever since. Their
latest reunion comes with a new studio record "The Fugs Final CD (Part
One) and they drop some more bombs in the WFMU studios today with Kenny G.
Tune in.
Ansurbana Sunday, July 20th, 2003, 3am - 6am
on
Airborne Event with Dan Bodah
This multimedia improvising rock troup from Atlanta stopped by the WFMU studio to record a set while they were in town to play at Office Ops.
Ted Leo & the Pharmacists Saturday, July 19th, 2003, 5pm - 7pm
on
The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T
Ted Leo has been creating some of the best underground rock for over a decade in bands like Chisel. These days he plays melodic, poignant, evocative rock with "modern" lo-fi &
distortions. His music calls to mind Nick Lowe, Thin Lizzy, The Kinks, Stephin Merrit, Alex Chilton, and The Jam, and his live sets are so intense that he's like the punk-rock Bruce Springsteen! Hear for yourself when he plays live on the Cherry Blossom Clinic. He'll also be at the Siren Fest at Coney Island on Saturday July 19.
Comets on Fire Tuesday, July 15th, 2003, 3pm - 6pm
on
Brian Turner's show
Total guitar rock meltdown. Comets On Fire have members of bands like California's Six Organs of Admittance and the Low Down, and their first East Coast shows are gonna clean up this town of False Rock for good. Think Chrome's warped sci-fi attack, Blue Cheer with one guy solely playing
an echoplex pedal, Japan's High Rise with more Detroit in them. Their latest disc is called Field Recordings From the Sun, and Alternative Tentacles just reissued their totally brain-frying first record. Ethan, Utrillo, Noel, Ben and Ben hit town to play with the Major Stars in Brooklyn, but on the way, they stopped by Jersey City to completely destroy the studios. Do not miss this!
Little Killers Saturday, July 12th, 2003, 5pm - 7pm
on
The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T
This powerhouse power trio walks on stage and dominates the joint with their buzz-saw perfect punkrock! Crypt Records' honcho Tim Warren loved them so much he signed the band; his first new signing in years! They'll be at Sin-E on Friday July 25 so mark your calendars accordingly. And watch out for their debut release on Crypt!
Deanna Varagona Saturday, July 12th, 2003, Noon - 3pm
on
The Radio Thrift Shop
You might have seen Deanna Varagona playing sax with Nashville's eclectic orchestra, Lambchop, or contributing to the sweet country swing of Paul Burch & the WPA Ballclub, and the music of Chris Mills. She has been seen sitting in on Baritone Sax or sweet harmonies with the likes of Yo La Tengo, John Wesley Harding, Neutral Milk Hotel, and the Silos. Radio Thrift Shop hosts her this Saturday for some songs from her new solo album "The Goodbyes Have All Been Taken, Hello."
Apparat Organ Quartet Monday, July 7th, 2003, 8pm - 11pm
on
Scott Williams's show
They describe their music as machine rock and roll.
Other people have described it as a mixture of Kraftwerk, Trans Am, Stereolab, Mum, Iron Maiden, and the Italian Horror Film Soundtracks of Goblin. Add N to (X) and we're getting somewhere. These Icelandic robots have lugged a massive assortment of vintage synth & organ gear into our studios and graced us with a half-hour of Stereo Rock n' Roll -- man-machine style. Hear the results tonight.
Mandog Saturday, June 28th, 2003, 2am - 6am
on
Janitor From Mars with R. Lim
Keiichi Miyashita created Mandog as a way of combining his love for experimental "krautrock" electronics with his training in jazz guitar. In doing so, he developed a wondrous, psychedelic style of improvisation that he calls "instant composing." The Janitor From Mars is proud to present Mandog's US live debut, recorded at WFMU while Miyashita was in town to play with Damo Suzuki.
Henry Stone Friday, June 27th, 2003, Noon - 3pm
on
Monica's show

Producer, promoter, talent scout, distributor, and label owner, Stone has done it ALL - from selling records out of the trunk of his car in the late 1940s to ushering in the disco era in the 70s via his T.K. label. They'll discuss the wild and woolly days of the post-war music industry as well as his work with James Brown, Hank Ballard, Sam & Dave, Ray Charles, Lightnin' Hopkins, George McCrae, Timmy Thomas, Betty Wright, K.C. & The Sunshine Band, L'Trimm, and MANY more.
