THANK
YOU TO EVERYONE who came to our Grand Opening of Monty Hall, WFMU's
ground floor performance space, on July 12th. It was SOLD OUT, and we
had excellent sets from SPECTRE FOLK, DOUG GILLARD, WATERY LOVE, and
PAMPERS. Stay tuned to our home page for future info on what will be
going on with this new space, which we're still getting fully together.
UPCOMING SPECIAL PROGRAMS ON WFMU:
I Love Vinyl crew guest DJs
Thursday, July 17th, Midnight - 3am
on Nickel and Dime Radio with $mall ¢hange
$mall ¢hange invites the I Love Vinyl crew to guest on Nickel and Dime
radio. I Love Vinyl is a bi-weekly all vinyl freeform dance party,
founded by Ben Goldfarb aka DJ Scribe, that began in 2009 in New York
City and has grown into an institution known worldwide. The DJs, Scribe,
Jon Oliver, Amir Abdullah, OP! and Shawn Dub, are all heavyweight
collectors and accomplished DJs in their own right. Check ilovevinyl.org for more information.
Suzi Quatro
Thursday, July 17th, 3am - 6am
on Dark Night of the Soul with Julie
50-year rock and roll veteran Suzi visits the dark night via phone from
her Essex living room. From an all-girl band started with her sisters
and friends, to a string of solo hits produced by Mickie Most, to a
reoccurring role on as Leather Tuscadero on American sitcom Happy Days,
to BBC-2 radio DJ, there's little Suzi hasn't done in her life. At age
64, she still tours extensively with no sign of slowing down. There's
far too much in Suzi's history to touch on in a short interview, but
lifelong fan Julie attempts to hit on some of the highlights.
John Otway
Thursday, July 17th, 9am - Noon
on Surface Noise with Joe McGasko
The legendary John Otway bills himself as “Rock ‘n’ Roll’s Greatest
Failure,” but few musicians have had such a long and colorful career
with so many artistic successes. One of the great jesters of the punk
era, famous for songs like “Beware of the Flowers ‘Cause I'm Sure
They’re Going to Get You Yeah” and “Really Free,” Otway could also
deliver a tender ballad with the best of them. He’s also staged some of
the most memorable publicity stunts in the history of the industry, such
as ensuring a Top 10 hit by having 900 fans sing back-up on his single
(which, naturally, every one of them bought several copies of). Next
week in New York, a documentary about his life called "Rock ‘N’ Roll’s
Greatest Failure: Otway the Movie" premieres, and we’ll talk to John
about the film and his 40-plus years of insanity.
Second Annual Hostage Situation, Loss Leaders Edition (fill-in for Doug 9am-noon)
Friday, July 18th, 9am - 3pm
on Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael (on Give the Drummer Radio stream)
Doug Schulkind takes a rare Friday morning off, once again leaving Uncle
Michael holding a six-hour bag. Uncle Michael will fill it sharing
favorites from his collection of Warner Brothers "Loss Leaders"
samplers, spanning the complete history of the series.
Shirley Collins
Saturday, July 19th, 6am - 9am
on Shrunken Planet with Jeffrey Davison
UK folk music legend Shirley Collins, without doubt one of the greatest
British musicians of the 20th Century, played a pivotal role at a time
when folk music was undergoing unparalleled revival and revolution.
Though out of the music scene for more than three decades, her music
nevertheless continues to be a source of inspiration for many. However,
probably due in part to her enforced retirement in the late 1970s, her
legacy is not as widely known as it should be. Musician David Tibet has
been a key figure in bringing Shirley Collins' music once again to its
rightful place. (And frankly, WFMU DJs have always had a place for her
music.) Now, filmmakers Tim Plester and Rob Curry are raising funds on
Kickstarter for "The Ballad of Shirley Collins", inspired in part by her
poignant 2004 memoir "America Over The Water" and the connection her
music has to the film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" There simply is no
musician more deserving of this growing renewal on interest and I would
urge you to assist the filmmakers in their endeavor. Donations can be made up to July 22nd.
The interview with Ms. Collins will focus mostly on the forthcoming
documentary and the American sojourn which led both to her book and the
film. For your additional enjoyment, there is also a tribute album
coming out shortly, "Inspired by Shirley".
Alien Whale
Monday, July 21st, 9pm - Midnight
on Airborne Event with Dan Bodah
Alien Whale is Colin Langenus (USAisaMonster), Matt Mottel (Talibam!),
and Nick Lesley (Necking) and what they are doing in Alien Whale is as
much a mystery as the ocean depths. Is this psychedelic metal
hullaballoo? Is it jazzed-up muzak dirt bike rock? Proto avant primal
scream prog? Don't ask, just tune in and hear its name with your own
ears. The Alien Whale 10" EP is on Care in the Community Records.
Blaire Alise and the Bombshells
Tuesday, July 22nd, Noon - 3pm
on Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock
Teen sensations from Detroit take all of those classic Motor City
influences and rev it into a 21st -century engine built for speed -
garage, girl groups, Motown, etc. The city may be bankrupt but still has
a rich musical output!
The Clientele PLUS Joe Frank - Somewhere Out There: "God Only Knows"
Wednesday, July 23rd, 3pm - 6pm
on Irwin Chusid
The Clientele
will perform on Irwin's show, Weds. July 23 around 3:15pm (Eastern).

Keen on drums, and James Hornsey on bass. The UK-based ensemble will
play at Baby's All Right
in Brooklyn on Saturday July 19. Other US dates include July 20 in
Philadelphia, July 22 in Washington DC, July 23 in Charlottesville VA,
and some west coast gigs. Check their full tour schedule at TheClientele.co.uk.
One-hour radio dramas by Joe Frank air alternate Wednesdays at 4pm
(Eastern) on Irwin's program. On Weds. June 25th we'll air an episode
entitled "God Only Knows," from Joe's SOMEWHERE OUT THERE series. In
this episode, Joseph thinks his fiancée Mary is cheating on him. When
she gets pregnant, he's certain of it. After Mary gives birth to the Son
of God, Joseph is furious and humiliated that he has been cuckolded by
God. He falls into a deep depression and starts drinking. That's just
the first three minutes of this one-hour Joe Frank episode.
People Who Only Need Another Beat
Wednesday, July 23rd, 9pm - Midnight
on The Evan "Funk" Davies Show
Last year, three of WFMU's in-house drummers -- Dave Mandl, Irwin Chusid and Evan "Funk" Davies -- gathered to play songs featuring some of their own favorite time-keepers.
This year the rhythm section reconvenes with the addition of WFMU's own
Dennis Diken, an Actual Professional Drummer! Irwin, Dennis and Dave
will take turns presenting their favorite panjandrums of paradiddles and
rulers of rolls, with EFD primarily acting as MC this time around. Tune
in at 9pm on Wednesday July 23 for this three-hour drum throwdown on
WFMU!
The Harrow
Thursday, July 24th, 3am - 6am
on Dark Night of the Soul with Julie
The Harrow don't just play music, they bathe in it. DJ, Blogger and
member of numerous bands Frank Deserto is joined by singer and internet
DJ Vanessa Irena, '80s goth veteran Greg Fasolino (The Naked and the
Dead) & keyboardist/remixer Barrett Hiatt. They make no secret of
their influences harkening back to the darker side of 80s post-punk and
coldwave. A dark and moody sound that would make Ian Curtis proud.
Bobby Blitz
Thursday, July 24th, Noon - 3pm
on Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine
Diane's Peer Pressure guest this week will be the vocalist for NJ thrash
metal legends Over Kill: BOBBY BLITZ. They have just released their
