Zedashe - Captivating Choral Songs from the Republic of Georgia
Saturday, October 3rd, 6pm - 9pm
on Transpacific Sound Paradise with Rob Weisberg
Zedashe
sings captivating polyphonic choral songs of the Caucasus region of

during the Soviet era. They'll pull out the bagpipes, accordion and more
for a dance tune here or there too.

non-English acolytes.
Throaat
Wednesday, October 7th, Midnight - 3am
on Wm. Berger presents My Castle of Quiet
Throaat—this nasty-as-back-alley-sex Brooklyn band combine punk and
thrash-fed black metal with speed-metal chops, and a tainted dose of
Satan-knows-what barely controlled chaos. Their latest EP, "Bloodf***ing
Freaks" (MHOTR recs.), is a six-song ass-kick, a ferocious calling card
that led to these gloriously bent metalers gracing My Castle of Quiet
with a live set on our October 6-7 show.
Arwen Lewis
Wednesday, October 7th, 3pm - 6pm
on Irwin Chusid
Arwen Lewis is the daughter of Moby Grape founder and guitarist Peter Lewis.
On Arwen's new self-titled debut album, she covers a dozen Grape
classics from the band's first three records. On Oct 7 at 4pm, Arwen
joins Irwin on WFMU for a live quartet performance, with her dad playing

Jazzactuel Redux
Thursday, October 8th, 6am - 9am
on The Long Rally with Scott McDowell
Take a journey through the nether regions of the BYG/Actuel label
catalog. Hear free jazz and psychedelia circa 1968-1970 from the likes
of Art Ensemble of Chicago, Gong, Don Cherry, Archie Sheep, Sonny
Sharrock and as many more as will fit into 3 hours.
Jake McKelvie
Thursday, October 8th, Noon - 2pm
on Busy Doing Nothing with Charlie (on Give the Drummer Radio stream)
Jake McKelvie, of Jake McKelvie and the Countertops,
from Keene, NH, will play a solo set. Jake's songs are funny, acerbic,
and insightful, full of stream-of-consciousness run-on puns and rhymes,
and snappy answers to questions you didn't know you'd asked.
Willie Hightower
Saturday, October 10th, 11am - 1pm
on Michael Shelley's show
Michael chats with journeyman Soul singer Willie Hightower whose career
started on the Gospel circuit - eventually crossing over in 1965 and
recording super charged recordings for the Enjoy, Fury, Capitol, Fame,
Mercury & Sound Stage 7 labels
Richard Hell
Saturday, October 10th, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd
Punk icon and author Richard Hell joins Todd-O-Phonic Todd to discuss his new non-fiction anthology Massive Pissed Love
(published by Soft Skull Press). This collection contains many
insightful pieces on music, film, poetry, New York City and more. Hell
gained infamy as a member of Television and The Heartbreakers and as the
leader of The Voidoids, but in more recent years has honed his craft as
a writer and critic, as anyone who read his excellent autobiography I Dreamed I Was A Very Clean Tramp will attest.
Lame Drivers
Sunday, October 11th, 6am - 9am
on Burn It Down! with Nate K
Brooklyn-via-Jersey trio Lame Drivers (featuring WFMU mainstay Jason
Sigal) pull power pop out of the seventies, throw in a little of the
wiry energy of eighties college rock, and replace the "slack" of
nineties indie with an urgency and passion much needed in this insane
new millennium. Boasting big hooks, a high instrumental aptitude, and a
kitchen sink aesthetic philosophy, Lame Drivers dropped by BURN IT DOWN!
to play songs off their new LP Chosen Era, due out October 9 on Bleeding Gold/Jigsaw records.
Chuck Prophet
Monday, October 12th, Noon - 3pm
on Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock
Chuck Prophet hit the road straight out of high school in the '80s with
the psychedelic roots band Green on Red, and he never looked back. In
addition to working as a singer/songwriter, guitarist, bandleader, and
collaborator with artists as diverse as Kim Carnes, Solomon Burke, and
Alejandro Escovedo, Prophet's deepening solo catalog of self-produced
"sideways" roots rock has steadily become his calling card. Chuck
returns to WFMU on the heels of last year's acclaimed "Night Surfer" LP.
Deaf Wish
Tuesday, October 13th, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
Despite being around for 8 years, Australia's excellent Deaf Wish have
yet to become household names, though their latest release Pain has
landed them on Sub Pop, which might change matters (stateside anyway). A
democratic unit, Deaf Wish's songs vary in approach with no distinct
trait to sum them up; they can alternate between evocative soundscapes
to blizzards of guitar destruction with total seamlessness, melodies
murdered and revived. Tune in to hear this great band live today on
Brian's show.
TIGUE
Thursday, October 15th, 6am - 9am
on The Long Rally with Scott McDowell
The percussion trio TIGUE (pronounced just like the 2nd syllable of
fatigue) drops by to perform their dazzling compositions, combining
post-rock architecture and slow-building melodies with the compositional
language of early minimalism. Their debut album Peaks will be out in
November on New Amsterdam Records and features contributions from Kid
Millions and Yo La Tengo's Ira Kaplan and James McNew.
Dennis Dunaway
Thursday, October 15th, Noon - 3pm
on Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine
Original bassist of the Alice Cooper Group, and member of the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame, Dennis released his memoirs in a book titled,
"Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs!" this summer. Credited with
writing some of rock's most famous songs; i.e. " I'm Eighteen" and
"School's Out", and also a current member of Blue Coupe with the
Bouchard Brothers, Dennis will be appearing locally at the Chiller
Theatre Expo in Parsippany NJ, October 23-25th! Listeners will be able
to ask him questions via the live playlist, so get your thinking caps
on!
Dave the Spazz Live Band Cassette Caravan
Thursday, October 15th, 9pm - Midnight
on Music To Spazz By with Dave the Spazz
Dave the Spazz digs down into Music To Spazz By cassette archives back
to 1989 for a bunch of rock n' roll bands that have dropped by over the
years. Expect pre- and post-internet live band insanity!
Shannon and the Clams PLUS The Hooten Tennis Club
Saturday, October 17th, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd

fantastic new album on Hardly Art, Gone By The Dawn. Check out their

The Hooton Tennis Club, a brilliant new band from the U.K. performing

Paul Collins' Beat PLUS XL Kings
Monday, October 19th, Noon - 3pm
on Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock
It's a Rocktober doubleheader! Up first, the King of Power Pop returns to WFMU - Paul Collins
has been churnign out top notch tunes for 40 years, first with the
Nerves, then the Beat, then as Paul Collins' Beat. His most recent LP,
Feel the Noise, was one of 2014's top releases! In the nightcap, it's XL Kings,
the band with the big-sounding name and an even bigger sounding sound! A
New York supergroup featuring members of Hypnolovewheel, Special
Pillow, the Martinets and the Fabians.
Singles Failing to Go Steady with Greg Saunier
Monday, October 19th, 5pm - 7pm
on Play Vertigo with Mayuko (on FM radio & Give the Drummer Radio stream)
Deerhoof drummer, composer and producer Greg Saunier visits Play Vertigo
on WFMU Give The Drummer Radio to kindly help the host who owns zero
45s but is excited for Singles Going Steady week. In between mis-cues,
the host and guest will chat a little bit about music too. Greg Saunier
has an upcoming collaborative show with a dance performance project
BOOMERANG at Roulette in Brooklyn on Monday, October 26, 2015 @ 8:00 pm.
But tune in on the 19th for the 45rpm madness!
Spray Paint
Tuesday, October 20th, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
This Austin trio (and former stars of WFMU's SXSW show in 2014) has
already issued a slew of singles and LPs in their relatively short run,
never short on ideas. Taking classic postpunk traits of the likes of The
Urinals, The Fall, 1983-era Butthole Surfers and other
paranoia-inducing art rockers, Spray Paint mesh equal parts economy and
mastery of the sideways hook, and they promise to make a nice din over
your afternoon today with Brian.

on The Long Rally with Scott McDowell

on The Long Rally with Scott McDowell

co-founder Pat Murano as well as solo performances in collaboration
with filmmakers. Tom's electric guitar work weaves melody into towering
long-form drones, sculpting high-volume grit and charged silence
together. His new LP is Long Time Underground (on Three Lobed).
Steve Gunn
has numerous lauded solo, duo, and ensemble recordings. You can usually
find him playing with his band, but he also finds time to serve as
guitarist in Kurt Vile’s Violators or play duos like this with old
friends. His playing shows the influence of Delta and Piedmont country
blues, ecstatic jazz, and Gnawa and Carnatic music. His most recent
record is the acclaimed Way Out Weather (on Paradise of Bachelors).
