UPCOMING SPECIALS ON WFMU:
All B-Sides All Night Long
Thursday, October 22nd, 9pm - Midnight
on Music To Spazz By with Dave the Spazz
It's WFMU's Singles Going Steady Week and once again Dave the Spazz flips out and ONLY spins B-sides of 45s all night long!
Jeff Stevenson, author of "Fortney Road"
Friday, October 23rd, 6am - 9am
on Micah's show
Fortney Road is a disturbing account of calculated mental,
physical, and sexual abuse in an evangelical Christian cult. Drawing on
seven years of research including interviews with seventeen survivors,
it tells the story of the rise and fall of the Church of the Risen
Christ, its sadistic leader the Reverend Larry Hill, and its outreach
tool The All Saved Freak Band, one of the earliest religious rock groups
borne out of the Jesus Movement. Unfolding against the backdrop of the
1960s and early '70s, Fortney Road is also the story of one
brilliant musician who fell victim to a charismatic, cruel zealot. While
other cult leaders such as David Koresh and Jim Jones have become
infamous, Larry Hill and his followers on Fortney Road have flown
largely under the radar-until now.
Singles Going Roundtable
Friday, October 23rd, 9pm - Midnight
on Daniel Blumin's show
It's singles night! DJ's Martha, Jack Mello, Thomas Storck (Dangerous
for the Brain), Sue P. (Solid Gold Hell), and Jeff M (Noise and Syrup)

The Mercury Lounge and Knitting Factory.
Singles Going Steady Special with Stan R. Krause of Catamount Records, plus a LIVE set from Richard Lloyd!
Saturday, October 24th, 9pm - Midnight
on Prove It All Night! with Pat Byrne
Stan R. Krause started his own independent record label right here in
Jersey City in 1964 called Catamount. Many of his 45's became rare
collectibles for fans of RnB, soul, vocal groups, and even garage. He
recorded dozens of artists across the 60's and 70's and even still works
with groups in his Jersey City store front today, Stan's Square
Records. He's lived quite a life, and this interview will capture the
Catamount story and then some as Stan brings along some of his original
stock 45's from the label as well as some of his favorites from growing
up. After the interview, hear a live set of music from Richard Lloyd and
his Quartet. Richard Lloyd has once again left his pioneering group
Television, to focus on his solo work. He stops by Studio B with his
Quartet to let loose on an amazing live set as the band gears up for
some upcoming NYC dates. Don't miss it!
Terry and Louie
Sunday, October 25th, 6am - 9am
on Burn It Down! with Nate K
Joining forces musically for the first time since the tragic demise of
the beloved power pop band the Exploding Hearts, Terry Six ( Nice Boys)
and King Louie Bankston (Missing Monuments, Loose Diamonds, Persuaders,
Royal Pendletons, all-around man about town) have released a pair of
exquisitely sweet singles under the name Terry & Louie on Six's
newly launched Tuff Break label. Equal parts starry-eyed,
heart-on-the-sleeve pop and gutter-glam grit, the band's music is
everything you've come to expect from these rock 'n' roll lifers.
They're in town October 23 to October 25 for the epic Tuff Weekend
celebration (performing at Palisades on 10/23) and they will be making
their WFMU debut on BURN IT DOWN! Sunday, October 25. And if we're
lucky, maybe they'll join in with a few favorites of their own for
Singles Going Steady! This is not to be missed!
Most Recent Singles Going Steadily Backwards Through Time
Sunday, October 25th, 5pm - 7pm
on Gaylord Fields's show
For Singles Going Steady Week, this program’s host will air, in strict
reverse chronological order and without any omissions, every 45 he has
recently purchased, starting with the most recent and working back in
time until he runs out of radio show. Unless your host goes on a very
heavy singles-buying spree before this airdate, listeners can expect to
hear, among a diversity of styles, jazz groovers, R&B stompers,
harmonizing girl groups, a Beatles soundalike, and a singing cat!
Raga Rock Special
Monday, October 26th, 9am - Noon
on Surface Noise with Joe McGasko
In the mid-to-late 60s, Indian classical music began to have an audible
influence on the pop and rock musicians of the day. Turning on to the
sounds of the sitar and tabla while adopting melodic modes uncommon to
Western music, these musicians created an interesting hybrid sometimes
referred to as "raga rock." Today's special will survey this genre,
including several famous examples, some more obscure ones, and also some
contemporary material to show that Indian modes continue to fascinate
Western rock musicians even now.
Sweet Talk
Monday, October 26th, Noon - 3pm
on Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock
Sweet Talk have just released their second LP, "Double Perfect," which
finds the Austin quartet avoiding the sophomore slump as they continue

punk.
Big Blood
Monday, October 26th, 3:01pm - 6pm
on Scott Williams's show
It's the long-awaited WFMU live radio debut of Big Blood! For nearly a
decade, this phantom combo from Portland ME has been tingling our senses
with their haunted folk-psych, an approach both grimy and gorgeous, and
some of the most inspired cover versions since the Sun City Girls. This
Summer, Big Blood performed a captivating live set in our Monty Hall;
Scott will be airing that set Monday October 26th at 4pm.
Halloween Soundtrack (Belated) Singles Going Steady
Tuesday, October 27th, 7pm - 8pm

it), DJ Devon E. Levins will spin some of his favorite horror and
monster soundtrack 45's this Tuesday in anticipation of All Hallows'
Eve. Devon had his hands full during Singles Going Steady week
interviewing horror maestro Fabio Frizzi but wants to make it up to you the listener with an hour of some of the spookiest 7 inches around...

you'll quickly become a fan of Dancer. They'll be playing at Palisades
in Brooklyn on Friday Oct 23 with Terry & Louie (ex-Exploding

Sunshine & the Rain
Sunday, November 1st, 5pm - 7pm
on Gaylord Fields's show
This duo of Jersey City–based singer-bassist Ashley Anderson Morey and
guitarist Justin Angelo Morey are former members of Hudson County’s
finest freakbeat band, the late and lamented Black Hollies. And though the husband-and-wife pair still have a ’60s-grounded ear for melody, their music is as much Psychocandy sheet-of-noise as Spectorian wall-of-sound. With several live appearances
on WFMU already under their belt, Sunshine & the Rain have plans to
release an upcoming single on the Ernest Jenning Record Co. label to
follow their winning track, “C’mon and Take a Ride,” which debuted on
the compilation cassette Serious Rockers: An Unblinking Ear Mixtape.
Josh Rosenthal, author of "The Record Store of the Mind"
Monday, November 2nd, 9am - Noon

some songs by some of the artists from the book. Tune in and be
enlightened!

Those Darlins
Saturday, November 21st, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd
Nashville's Those Darlins head east and rock the set of The
Todd-O-Phonic Todd show! Find out why Paste Magazine had this to say
about the tremendous trio: "Whether you thought they were a
quirky-obnoxious novelty act or a gang of infinitely charming,
boots-are-made-for-rockin’ Americana party girls, forget your initial
impression of Those Darlins. Because, over the last few years, the band
has become the spirit of rock ’n’ roll incarnate—a slightly older,
wiser, modern-day Southern-garage version of The Runaways." Those
Darlins are appearing at Terminal 5 on Wednesday Nov. 11th, opening for
Shakey Graves.
Carter Thornton plus Tom Carter / Steve Gunn duo
Thursday, November 26th, 6am - 9am
on Airborne Event
Start Thanksgiving the WFMU way. Carter Thornton
(GNAW, Zashiki-Warashi, Pigeons, Enos Slaughter) brings a solo guitar
set to WFMU. He's a relentless & restless innovator whose releases
span the gamut from abstract classical guitar, experimental metal, field
recordings, and destroyed songs. His new series of releases, Mapping
the Ghost, begins this fall on Soft Abuse records.
Afterwards, guitar comrades Tom Carter & Steve Gunn will play in a duo. Tom Carter
is a prolific musician who founded Charalambides in 1991 with Christina
Carter. He's recently been focused on his bands with No Neck Blues Band
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).
