Ubu Sings Ubu Band for entertaining the masses, and Sierra Nevada,
Brooklyn Brewery, and Smuttynose for donating beer. Props to our own Mr.
Record Fair, Chris M., for wrangling such a fun weekend. Dates for our 2015 Record Fair have not yet been set, but the event will be held sometime in the spring.

The Boogie Woogie Flu” and "Sea Cruise," which follows the musician's
extraordinary life from his Depression-era childhood to his teen years
as a pianist for blues star Guitar Slim to his mainstream success in the
1950s and '60s. The book also provides new insights on Smith’s
professional disappointments and financial struggles in the 1980s and
90s as he battled over royalties from his most successful and profitable
work.
Crazy Pills
Saturday, June 7th, 3pm - 6pm
on Beastin' The Airwaves! with Keili

Tune in to BTAwK for their on-air tour pre-party.
Janka Nabay's Bubu Music from Sierra Leone
Saturday, June 7th, 6pm - 9pm
on Transpacific Sound Paradise with Rob Weisberg
Janka Nabay
is a wildly charismatic DC-based Sierra Leonean singer whose
hard-driving dance music is derived from bubu, a centuries-old tradition
he says is rooted in witchcraft. Janka and his band, The Bubu Gang,
stop in for a first-ever WFMU session tonight - right before heading to
Brooklyn to play at Secret Project Robot in Bushwick.
Dawn Landes
Monday, June 9th, Noon - 3pm
on Irene Trudel's show
Gentle musical soul Dawn Landes is up to her fifth release, "Bluebird,"
and still not a what most consider a big name outside of musical
circles. Landes toiled at NYC's Stratosphere Sound and at Philip Glass'
own personal recording studio, continuing to write and perform, but
gaining skills as an engineer and producer, helping found Brooklyn's
Saltlands Studio along the way. Dawn's songs have been featured in films
and TV shows like Bored to Death, House, and United States of Tara. On
"Bluebird,' her sweet, countrified folk-rock is brought into fine focus
by good friend and producer Thomas Bartlett a.k.a. Doveman. Dawn Landes
plays her sweet songs live on WFMU.
Ian McLagan
Tuesday, June 10th, Noon - 3pm
on Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock
Rescheduled from May 20: A true rock legend comes to Jersey City today -
McLagan of course was a founding and esssential member of the Small
Faces and the Faces, played that mean electric piano on "Miss You" and
did two tours with the Rolling Stones and played with just about
everyone else, from Chuck Berry to Paul Westerberg. His new album,
"United States," comes out June 17. He'll also be at Iridium in NYC that
same night.
Mossenek
Tuesday, June 10th, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
The duo of Chuck Bettis (All Scars/Period/Brown Wing Overdrive and more)
and Mick Barr (Orthrelm/Octis/Krallice/Crom-Tech, among others) met
years ago in the post-HC Washington DC environ. Mossenek began as a
sporadic dive into splattery sound destruction of the improvised kind,
taking Barr's precision hyperspeed playing into a pit of Onanie Bomb-era
Boredoms sandblasting. Tune in for a live session today before the two
head off to Japan.
Steve Lowenthal, author of John Fahey biography
Wednesday, June 11th, 6am - 9am
on The John Allen Show
Journalist Steve Lowenthal will stop by WFMU to discuss his new book
"Dance of Death: The Life of John Fahey." Dance of Death tells the story
of the legendary guitarist/composer/storyteller and american blues and
bluegrass preservationist with fascinating detail and dedication, and is
a necessary literary companion to anyone who has ever fallen under the
spell of Fahey's singular musical vision. Fellow guitar hero Leo Kotke,
whose music was discovered and produced by Fahey early on, writes of
Lowenthal "You did a lot of good work for John and his music. You've
rendered him with insight and professionalism". Steve and John will also
play favorite tracks from the Fahey discography as well as select
tracks from the Takoma catalog.
Psyche Corporation
Thursday, June 12th, 3am - 6am
on Dark Night of the Soul with Julie
Psyche Corp's CEO Psyche Chimère combines lyrics right out of fantasy
& sci-fi with musical influences from steampunk to electro-goth to
symphonic metal. But the focal point is her sweet but strong voice that
conjures images of a carnival wind-up doll enchanting you as it spins
then leaving you sleepless and haunted by its delicious, dizzying circle
of music.
Friday the 13th Part VI
Friday, June 13th, 3pm - 6pm
on Miniature Minotaurs with Kurt Gottschalk
The "unlucky" attributes attributed to Friday the 13th are of course
steeped in superstition, likely attributable to the fact that Gioachino
Rossino - perhaps more noted for his contributions to 19th Century opera
than for being steeped in solid scientific discourse - died on Friday,
November 13. Much like the college co-ed guzzling wine spritzers while
wearing a holy cross pendant or the businessman beginning a pleasant
morning on the golf greens only to find himself cursing the Lord's very
name, however, we at Miniature Minotaurs choose to heed all
superstitions: spiritual, secular and sacrosanct. Tune in this Friday
the 13th as we explore evil-warding and wishbone-breaking musics from a
potpourri of cultures littering the globe.
Put The Needle on The Oakland Corner Market
Friday, June 13th, 7pm - 8pm
on Put The Needle On The Record with Billy Jam
For the second WFMU live remote broadcast from the Bay Area this month
Billy Jam and guests will be at the Corner Market health food store and
cafe on the corner of Telegraph Ave and 61st Street in North Oakland.
Put The Needle On The Record: Friday June 13th 7pm (4pm to 5pm local
Pacific time).
Marissa Nadler
Monday, June 16th, Noon - 3pm
on Irene Trudel's show
Eternally ethereal singer Marissa Nadler dips deep into the dark spirits
for her song inspirations but presents them as comforting moments and
stories. Nadler's flirtation with the gothic seems to come from ghostly
stories in the vein of Edgar Allen Poe and murder ballads. Marrissa's
songs are atmospheric, austere, and starkly sincere. Marissa Nadler
brings her gorgeous, atmospheric folk to WFMU's love room.
Producer Ed Stasium
Saturday, June 21st, 11am - 1pm
on Michael Shelley's show
Michael talks about the art of making great records with New Jersey
native Ed Stasium, noted engineer and producer whose hit making
credentials include work with Gladys Knight & The Pips (Midnight
Train To Georgia), The Ramones, Talking Heads, The Smithereens, Sha
Na-Na, Motorhead, Joan Jett, and tons more.
Make Music NY Summer Solstice Remote Live From Meridian23
Saturday, June 21st, 6pm - 9pm
on Transpacific Sound Paradise with Rob Weisberg
Make Music NY
is a gigantic annual celebration of the first day of summer - over a
thousand free concerts throughout New York City. Similar festive
happenings commemorate the solstice in hundreds of cities around the
world — it's a global celebration of music making.
This year for the first time WFMU joins in the revelry as Transpacific
Sound Paradise travels to New York's newest world musicky venue, Meridian23,
161 W 23rd St. near 7th Ave., for three hours of wall-to-wall live
music. Tune in or drop by for five sets of great sounds from around the
world - and around the corner:
Ani Cordero sings classic South American songs of love and protest;
Amino Belyamani and Bed Stuy Ewe Ensemble pounds out West African percussion;
Gnawa Boussou explore ancient Moroccan Sufi spiritual music with Sub-Saharan roots;
Rachid Halihal and Uri Sharlin delve into Middle Eastern and North African classical and folk traditions; and
Liliana Araujo and friends rock the house with northeast Brazil's upbeat accordion-driven dance music, forro.
Admission is, of course, free - and we'll be giving away free WFMU swag too!
Meaner Pencil
Monday, June 23rd, Noon - 3pm
on Irene Trudel's show
When she arrived in New York City, the city subway presented itself as
the perfect performance cathedral. Her cello is the main tool she uses
to lift musical spirits, although the overall tone of her tunes is quite
sombre. Meaner Pencil's latest album, "Senza Amanti" is Italian for
"Without Lovers". She writes, "These are pieces meant to be performed
without lovers, and they describe a period of my life when I was trying
to live alone, after severe heartbreak, in the hope of gaining a better
understanding of myself." Meaner Pencil plays live on Irene's show.
Sun Ra Centennial Special
Tuesday, June 24th, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
On Tuesday June 24, Brian Turner will host his WFMU colleagues Michael D. Anderson (The Good Doctor) and Irwin Chusid
to discuss the Sun Ra centennial. Anderson is Executive Director of the
Sun Ra Music Archive, an extensive collection of original Sun Ra master
tapes acquired after he was appointed the bandleader's tape librarian
during the 1970s. Anderson has spent the subsequent decades reviewing,
cataloguing, and preserving these historic tapes. Chusid recently became
the interim representative of Sun Ra LLC on behalf of the heirs of the
late musician. To commemorate this year's 100th anniversary of Sun Ra's
arrival on Planet Earth, Anderson and Chusid issued 21 meticulously
transferred and restored classic Sun Ra albums from the 1950s thru the 1970s as part of the 24-bit Mastered for iTunes
series. Anderson and Chusid will talk about the Sun Ra legacy and play
lots of music, including unreleased material. We'll also be airing a
segment of the incredible live session from Brian's show last year
featuring the Arkestra's Marshall Allen and Danny Thompson at WFMU.
Dan Epstein, author of "Stars and Strikes"
Wednesday, June 25th, 9pm - Midnight
on The Evan "Funk" Davies Show
In Dan Epstein's previous book, Big Hair and Plastic Grass, we learned how the '70s changed baseball forever. His latest book, Stars and Strikes: Baseball and America in the Bicentennial Summer of '76,
focuses on the year that brought us the Chicago White Sox wearing
shorts, C.W. McCall's "Convoy," the California Angels hiring their DH
from Casablanca Records, Frampton Comes Alive, Mark "The Bird" Fidrych's brilliant rookie year, the Ramones and so much more.
Tune in at 9pm on Wednesday the 25th as Dan returns to The Evan "Funk"
Davies show with more riotous tales of '70s baseball! Then come out to
see Dan in person reading from the book Thursday the 26th at Bergino
Baseball Clubhouse (67 E. 11th St.) and Sunday the 29th at Manitoba's
