Consumer Electronics

Sam, a New York experimental trombonist mainstay and member of bands including Escape From Society and Starring, will stop by the Frow Show to discuss just why and how he created a score to a May 2015 Mets/Marlins game, the time he played a solo trombone version of the National Anthem at CitiField, the brilliance of Howie Rose, and other topics.

Be sure and catch them live at Berlin (in Manhattan underneath the bar 2A on 2nd St. and Ave. A) on the evening of December 19th alongside WFMU faves The Jay Vons and Dirty Fences.

It's a YULEtide Holiday Special!

There is the brilliant 4 cd set of live recordings from Thanksgiving 1969 at The Matrix Club in San Francisco, as well as a 6 cd 45th anniversary edition of Loaded.

Sunday, December 20th, 5pm - 7pm
on Gaylord Fields's show
WFMU Rock ’n’ Soul Ichiban mastermind Debbie D. will once again join program host Gaylord Fields to take part in his long-running tradition of celebrating the wonders of soul music based on a labored pun.

As always, The Winter Soul-stice celebration will team up America's greatest Southern white woman/Northern black man duo since Tallulah Bankhead and her "chauffeur" — who will commence to broadcasting and webcasting 45 rpm discs lovingly recorded by your favorite dukes and damsels of soul. And, in keeping with the show's unofficial designation as a battleground in The War on Christmas, the "C-word" (or even its "X-word" variant) will not be uttered by either host or any vocalist during the two-hour length of this program.

A reverb unit will be abused, as always, for your sporadic amusement.

Norman Rockwell as a visionary, plumbing the depths of our collective unconscious, is matched against Keane, who painted portraits with large saucer-like eyes. The work of Christo, the environmental artist, is compared to the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Pol Pot is measured against Charles Manson, and Wilhelm Reich’s Orgone Box is compared to the ballads of Barry Manilow.
