like the classic Loew's Jersey City.

In this episode, after Joe is arrested for smuggling illegal immigrants

road when he graduates, warming up for this fall's Gonerfest with a
stop by WFMU today.

other regional delights you’ve ever heard.

Down South Jukin': Southern Rock Special
Thursday, August 21st, 9am - Noon
on Surface Noise with Joe McGasko
What do you get when you combine rock 'n' roll with Rebel Yell and a
bunch of longhaired hippies from below the Mason-Dixon line? Why, you
get that uniquely American musical form called Southern Rock. This
special episode of Surface Noise is devoted to that golden decade (the
1970s) when the South really tried to do it again. They didn't, but
along the way, a lot of guitars got twanged, a lot of whiskey got drunk,
and a lot of Southern cities got namechecked. Tune in for some
favorites as well as some obscurities as we plumb the depths of this
oft-maligned subgenre of American racket: Three full hours of down South
jukin'!
Ace Frehley (Todd-o-phonic Todd fills in for Michael Shelley)

on Brian Turner's show
Another great annual visit from Siltbreeze Records honcho Tom Lax,
bringing yet more esoteric, uncategorizable and otherworldly slabs of
wax to confound even the most obscuro-hound WFMU listeners. Even after
several years of guest DJ sessions, we've barely scratched the surface
of the fabulous motherlode of DIY recordings Tom has in the vaults;
expect high grade entertainment, and of course, uploaded photos on the
playlist page of the great cover art from the wax he brings.
Fade Kainer
Thursday, August 28th, Noon - 3pm
on Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine
The voice and textural contributor in Batillus, member of Theologian,
InSwarm, plays live with Jarboe and is a multi instrumentalist and audio
engineer. We wonder how he will have time to actually make an
appearance, but will be psyched to hear the music he has picked! He will
be live and listeners will be able to ask him questions via our live
playlist and comments board!
Tashi Dorji
Tuesday, September 9th, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
This Bhutan-born guitarist absorbed a childhood full of shortwave radio
before moving to the US and discovering Derek Bailey and Albert Ayler
and incorporating all his musical loves into a truly varied and
forward-thinking vocabulary. In this era some may have chalked up the
guitar to have exhausted itself as a means of breaking new boundaries in
expression, yet Dorji, now in North Carolina, has wowed such advanced
axemen as Bill Orcutt, Ben Chasny, and Rick Bishop (whom he is sharing a
tour with). A few cassettes are out, but certainly an avalanche of
releases to come. Check him out today on Brian's show.
