WFMU

Singles Going Steady Week

The 45 r.p.m. record was born in 1949 and has seen ebbs and flows in its fortunes since then, but at WFMU this most portable of recorded music formats has never gone out of style. From Monday, October 14th through Sunday, October 20th, during its October Hellraiser, WFMU conducts its annual Singles Going Steady week when many WFMU DJs will play nothing but 45s on their shows. Tune in for the hits that time forgot and the obscurities that you never heard, all on those little records with the big holes!

Movie Night at Monty Hall Gets Witchy

On Thursday, October 17th, WFMU ramps up for Halloween by presenting ’90s cult classic The Craft, a witchy film featuring a killer soundtrack and an all-star cast of badass women. The event will be hosted by FMU DJs Olivia and Naomi Shamble. Costumes are encouraged! 7pm, $15. Get tickets at the door or in advance here. All proceeds support WFMU during its October Hellraiser!

Sunday Night of the Living Dead

Catch the midnight movie classic Night of the Living Dead at a reasonable hour (and a seasonable one) on Sunday, October 20th at WFMU’s Monty Hall, 7pm. Wear your Halloweeniest looks, and enjoy tricks and treats sure to keep the zombies distracted. Hosted by Jim the Poet of Three Thumbs Up. $10. Buy tickets at the door or in advance here.

The WFMU Record Fair Is Back!

The annual WFMU Record Fair, which was on-hold during the pandemic, made a soft return last fall, but we’re back at full strength for 2024! We’ll be back at our old haunt, the Metropolitan Pavilion on 18th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues in Manhattan, on Friday, November 1st from 3–9 p.m. and Saturday, November 2nd from 10 a.m.–7 p.m. $10 for regular admission. $30 gets you early admission on Friday (12–3 p.m.) and all day Saturday. Get your two-day pass here. We’ll have live music, food, film, fun activities, and more records under one roof than you can find almost anywhere. If you want to sell at the fair, donate records for it, or volunteer for it, find out all you need to know here.

The Hellraiser Is Here!

You may have gotten a brochure in the mail letting you know the Hellraiser is coming. Every October, WFMU conducts its Hellraiser. It’s an off-air fundraiser conducted mostly by Internet and mail. We don’t make too big of a deal about it (in fact, our DJs only mention it briefly once per show), but the Hellraiser Fundraiser is important for us since it gets us over the hump of the winter months – that time of year when the funds we raised in our spring marathon are beginning to dwindle. If you can, help us out with a donation and grab one of the two new T-shirts exclusive to this fall campaign. Anglerfish design by Maddie Fisher.
