Street interviews, listener call-ins, vinyl gluttery, sporadic normalcy, original floperas and fiktion, blatant talking over songs, politix, tenderness, and a vague undercurrent of angst. Right up your alley!

Favoriting May 8, 2014: Filmed Live at Union Square Park + Old Pidge Audio from WMNF Tampa

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

Artist Track
 
As you'll read at the bottom of this playlist, this show was recorded at Union Square Park with a film crew and was intended to be aired on WFMU live. Unfortunately, technical problems presented themselves and a limited amount of video footage was aired.

In addition, Station Manager Ken provided Samantha (the board operator at the station) with an old Marathon Premium CD of mine to be used in the event of problems. So, the pre-recorded Dusty Show stuff you'll hear on this episode was actually old clips from a show I used to do in Tampa called "Mondo Eclectica" on WMNF 88.5. I continued to send the show back to Tampa after moving to LA and then Milwaukee. It wasn't until 2005 that I hooked up with WFMU, courtesy of my old friend The Professor and his Audio Kitchen broadcast. He played Station Manager Ken an epsiode of Mondo Eclectica and SMK was interested in getting the show on FMU.

Here's a link you can use to see all the filmed interviews which took place that day. Hope you enjoy them.

Thanks for watching this. Supposedly the footage we shot will be archived before long. Way more than made it on the air. Also, was surprised Ken gave Samantha the old Mondo Eclectica tape to air from my days on WMNF in Tampa. Going waaay back. I loved doing the visual thing and hope to do more in the future. It was exciting and actually much easier to do with a camera and crew than just approaching people with my microcassette recorder. Thanks for your comments! I'm spoiled now. Radio seems limiting. I want .... TV!!!!!
