$¢ rolls out the red carpet for Rich Medina, who's been killin' it in both Philly and NYC for years. This man has one deep collection of hip hop, funk, house, and beyond, was involved with Bobbito's Footwork store for a bit, writes a regular column on crate diggin' in the Fader magazine, and can rock the muthafunkin' house. Peep it.
Plus an interview with the people behind NYC's 'Jump and Funk' party, dedicated to the power of afro-beat, new and old. Check it, check it...
The Quick Fix - this NJ based quintet combines dissonantly intense guitar lines, fierce low-end drumming, taunting spoken diatribes, and inspired howls to get
across their all-or-nothing musical philosophy. Drawing early inspiration
from acts like Lungfish, Quicksand, and Unwound, the members have since torn
apart their influences and built up an evil-tinged approach all their own.
Their debut CDEP -- released by the Ernest Jenning Record Co. in early
January 2002 -- was recorded by Don Zientra (Fugazi, Q And Not U).

Dreamy soundscapes that defy genre from Robert Dennis (Fire in the Kitchen, Tono-Bungay), live in the WFMU studios. In Robert's words:
"genetic engineering for hobbyists"
"all about how tangerine dream, speedball baby and boston have more in
common than you'd want know all about"
"proves that your vacuum cleaner is the most musical instrument you own"
DJ Salinger and Dr. Wudnt

on
Nickel and Dime Radio with $mall ¢hange
We give it up to the booty as Nickel and Dime radio gets ghetto tech with the turntable stylings of DJ Salinger and Dr. Wudnt. Besides having a suave DJ name, DJ Salinger is behind NYC's premier ghetto house/tech monthly Booty Bar and is bringing DJ Godfather to town the week before, so hopefully we'll have a lil' tape of that as well. These people have their fingers on the pulse of this ass shakin' scene, so clean out the wax for some new and upcoming ghetto treats.

ragtime, jugband, swing, blues, old-time country, 50^Òs, 60^Òs & 70^Òs
oldies, originals, and more. They jokingly
refer to themselves as The Furry Harmonica Brothers because they both
sport beards and sometimes they both play harmonicas while accompanying
themselves on stringed instruments.^ÓThese vaudevillian frolics are
delivered with such sheer joy and exuberance it reminds you why you
like music in the first place,"

The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T
A double shot of ASIAN POWER, baby!!
The Wontons hail from Texas, lead singer Dean is from China...but their music
is pure A-merican RnR reminding us of the New York Dolls, The Dead Boys and the
Oblivians! Kabochak are an all-girl band on tour from Japan playing really sweet, punked
out pop! ( And yr hostess Terre T is 1/2 Korean. Wow... Japanese, Korean & Chinese,
and NO freakin GONGS!!!!)
Lethal Aggression Thursday, January 10th, 2002, 11pm - 2am
on
Pat Duncan's show
Years before the eruption of metalcore, "crossover" was the term used to
simplify the blending of thrash metal crunch and the fury of hardcore punk.
New Jersey's Lethal Aggression are one of crossover’s unsung heroes. One side
of the band's sound is fun, catchy and upbeat punkcore complimented
by personal reflection, while the band’s dark side is expressed through
blisteringly fast, drug-induced instrument abuse and sexual / violent lyrical
themes. They'll give you a double-slap of pissed off thrash
and catchy hardcore that you will not soon forget.
