UPCOMING SPECIALS ON WFMU
Chris Stamey
Saturday, February 16th, 11am - 1pm
on Michael Shelley's show
Chris Stamey drops drops by with his guitar to play a few songs and to
discuss a musical history that has taken him from a basement four-track
studio in Winston-Salem, NC to relocating to New York to play and record
with Alex Chilton in the burgeoning late 70s rock scene, to his
influential work with The dB's and his new album "Lovesick Blues" which
Chris describes as "...the closest I've ever gotten to the sound I hear
in my head in the middle of the night."
Martin Koenig's Vintage Balkan Village Vinyl
Saturday, February 16th, 6pm - 9pm
on Transpacific Sound Paradise with Rob Weisberg
Martin Koenig* founded New York's Balkan Arts Center (now CTMD)
in 1968, a vital cultural organization building cross-cultural bridges
through music, dance and folklore. Koenig first fell in love with East
European folk dancing in college in the 1950s. He adventurously traveled
behind the iron curtain in Eastern Europe to learn the dances directly
from the source. Seeing the old traditions rapidly disappearing he
started documenting, with tape recorder and camera. One result was three
classic 1970s Nonesuch Explorer
LPs. But less well known were over a dozen 7" vinyl EPs of his field
recordings (often made with his CTMD co-director Ethel Raim**), the Balkan Arts Series, that circulated only in folk-dance circles. Now over four decades later the Balkan Arts series is getting a broader release for the first time, both digitally and on the original 7" vinyl (with beautiful new cover art from Martin's photo archive,
expansive liner notes and even an audio commentary from Koenig). Martin
Koenig joins us to talk about his musical travels and share a sampling
of this treasure trove of music.
*Koenig pronounced KAY-nig **Raim pronounced RAYM
Bliss Blood and Al Street
Monday, February 18th, 9pm - Midnight
on Airborne Event with Dan Bodah
Bliss Blood
was a core member of Houston psychedelic punks Pain Teens and has
played in The Moonlighters and with The Melvins. Lately she's been
singing and playing ukelele with Al Street, a jazz guitar master who's
traveled the world as an official Jazz Ambassador for the U.S.
Department of State. Tune in to the Airborne Event when they come by
WFMU to share their sensual, stripped-down rhapsodies to longing, love,
heartbreak, and secret desires.
Altered Boys
Wednesday, February 20th, 3am - 6am
on Distort Jersey City with Deed Runlea
Hardcore heroes from all over Northern NJ, Altered Boys blast through a
ripping set live in the WFMU studios. From the depths of New Brunswick
basements to the Warehouse Motor Club in Middlesex to the frequent trips
to DIY Brooklyn spaces, these not-so-juvenile delinquents play
straightforward fast hardcore that is not to be missed. Altered Boys has
a fantastic new EP on Katorga Works that opens and closes with samples
from The Best Show on WFMU, an upcoming EP on Deranged Records, and a
handful of cassettes slated to come out soon. The lead singer cried at
the last Kill Your Idols show. Get ready to slam.
Sera Cahoone
Saturday, February 23rd, 6am - 9am
on Shrunken Planet with Jeffrey Davison
Sera Cahoone, singer-songwriter, is originally from Colorado, and
currently is a part of the great music scene in Seattle. She was in NYC
recently to do two nights at City Winery as part of a two-week tour with
Kathleen Edwards. Cahoone's third release, "Deer Creek Canyon", was
released last September on Sub Pop. Each of the albums is great from
beginning to end, a testament to her skills as a musician of uncommon
depth and emotion. Though a modern songwriter, you will also hear echoes
of classic country and old-timey music.
Johnny Cash's Birthday Celebration with Jonathan Silverman author of "Nine Choices: Johnny Cash and American Culture"
Saturday, February 23rd, 11am - 1pm
on Michael Shelley's show
Michael celebrates Johnny Cash's Birthday with guest Jonathan Silverman
author of "Nine Choices: Johnny Cash and American Culture," a new
biography of the tumultuous life of the Man in Black.
OFF!
Saturday, February 23rd, 3pm - 6pm
on The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T
OFF! features some of hardcore's earliest prognosticators, sounding just
as vital as they did 30-plus years ago. Comprised of Keith Morris
(Black Flag, Circle Jerks), Steve McDonald (Redd Kross), Mario Rubalcaba
(Rocket from the Crypt, Hot Snakes, Pinback, Clikatat Ikatowi) and
Dimitri Coats (Burning Brides), OFF!'s pair of LPs have garnered praise
from both the mainstream and underground for their brutal, efficient,
no-nonsense approach to punk rock. This is Keith's best work since
"Nervous Breakdown!" So be sure to check them out on the Cherry Blossom
Clinic this Saturday February 23rd between 3-6pm!
Robyn Hitchcock
Monday, February 25th, Noon - 3pm
on Irene Trudel's show
On the eve of a brand new album, a tour and a significant birthday,
Robyn Hitchcock is dropping by some of his favorite radio stations with
solo performance sessions. Mr. Hitchcock is no stranger to Irene's show,
having been on twice before, and said he felt it was important that
WFMU not be left out. In advance of the new album, Robyn will be
ensconced in WFMU's Love Room to play songs from his newest disc, "Love
from London," to be released in early March.
Sh*t & Shine
Tuesday, February 26th, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
Sh*t & Shine's heavy, primitive weirdness tore up the WFMU/Aquarius
SXSW show in 2010, and now they're headed to their first ever NYC shows
with a stop at WFMU. Hailing from the UK and Austin, S&S take you
into crusty rhythmic zones inhabited by smatterings of the Butthole
Surfers, Hawkwind, Neu, even mutant dubstep, industrial and disco
splatterings. Live mayhem will ensue on BT's show today!
Jessica Pavone & Pure Horsehair
Monday, March 25th, 9pm - Midnight
on Airborne Event with Dan Bodah
Airborne Event is glad to be able to share live sets from two great acts
with you on March 25th. Jessica Pavone is a prolific avant garde
composer. She put out the solo album "Hope Dawson Is Missing" last year
on Tzadik Records, has an ongoing duo with guitarist Mary Halvorson, and
plays with numerous ensembles. Jessica augments and extends her solo
violin and viola playing with electronics to create complex art songs,
with lyrics that get beyond conscious defenses to detonate at the border
of dreamworld. Pure Horsehair is the moniker under which singer and
guitarist Garrett Devoe plays his primitive rock and roll chamber music.
He's played with folks like Laura Veirs, Jolie Holland, and Kimya
Dawson. Tune in on March 25th prepared!
Stacian and Gel Set
Monday, April 1st, 9am - Noon
on Liz Berg's show
Ladies rule April Fool's Day on Liz's show! Milwaukee-based one-woman prodigy Stacian
delivers dark, synth-y melodies perfect for your next robot dance
party. Stacian's 2012 release "Songs for Cadets" (Moniker Records) made
it to Liz's top picks for the year, so don't miss out! Also performing
will be Gel Set from Chicago, with creepy beats and even more minimal synth action.
Thee Open Sex
Monday, April 1st, 9pm - Midnight
on Airborne Event with Dan Bodah
Stop by to get your April thoroughly fooled by guests Thee Open Sex from
Bloomington, Indiana. They're in the area for a show at Death By Audio,
and their new record is fresh out on Magnetic South Recordings, which
is run by one of the members with a pal from sister band Apache Dropout.
After a string of deep drone worship cassettes, Thee Open Sex have
discovered alchemical chants allowing them to embed bluesy garage rock
into a cloudy matrix of cosmic sauerkraut and fuzz stacked deeper than
Neil Young's lyrics. Lend us your ears and we will make you a believer.
