THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED THE WFMU RECORD FAIR!
It was a smashing success at the Brooklyn Expo Center this past weekend,
with tons of dealers, attendees, and live sets from The Moles, Colleen
Green, RL Boyce, Fat White Family and James Chance! See you next year
April 28-30 at the same place!
UPCOMING SPECIALS ON WFMU:
Beverly
Friday, May 6th, 3pm - 6pm
on Sophisticated Boom Boom with Sheila B.
On Friday May 6th, Brooklyn-based duo Beverly will be the first band
ever to play live on Sophisticated Boom Boom! Fronted by vocalist and
guitarist, Drew Citron, the two-piece have been hammering out single
after single of melody-drenched, hooked-filled dream-rock that makes ‘em
impossible to resist. They will be celebrating the release of their
sophomore album “The Blue Swell” on Kanine Records with a live set and
Q&A.
Peter Wolf
Saturday, May 7th, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd's show
The original Woofa Goofa himself...none other than Peter Wolf joins
Todd-O-Phonic Todd to talk about his amazing career. Hear stories about
his days as a fast-talking loudmouth DJ as part of WBCN's "American
Revolution", his first band The Hallucinations backing John Lee Hooker,
the details behind the J. Geils Band "Morning After" cover and his new
Concord album "A Cure For Loneliness". Be sure and catch Peter at The
Bowery Ballroom on Friday May 6th and at The Egg in Albany on Friday May
13th.
Osei Korankye's Ghana Seperewa Highlife
Saturday, May 7th, 6pm - 9pm
on Transpacific Sound Paradise with Rob Weisberg
Osei Korankye
is the captivating flag bearer of Ghana’s seperewa tradition. The
seperewa is an ancient harp-lute, played by the Akan people of Ghana.
It's a bit like a smaller version of the better known Mande kora. Osei's
spreading the gospel of the seperewa with a great new album on the Awkaaba label.
But it's extremely rare to hear this music live in the US, so we're
thrilled that Osei Korankye and friends will join us live in the studio
right before his NYC concert debut at Rockwood Music Hall later the same evening (Saturday May 7th)!
Jesse Jarnow, host of The Frow Show and author of "Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America"
Sunday, May 8th, 6am - 9am
on Burn It Down! with Nate K.
Nate the K. doesn't take his trips on LSD, isn't inclined toward the
hippie lifestyle, and really doesn't like the Grateful Dead. Jesse
Jarnow wrote an excellent new book called Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America
about those three topics and much, much more. Nate loved the book and
couldn't put it down. Jesse dropped by Burn It Down! to talk about
Heads, play some acid rock records, and maybe, just maybe, convince Nate
that the Dead aren't so bad. Topics will include the
Deadhead/NYC-graffiti connection, tripping to Unsane and "Death Valley
69," and whether it helps to be high for that whole "Space" thing.
Anthony Pasquarosa
Monday, May 9th, 3am - 6am
on The Avant Ghetto with Jeff Conklin
On this week’s edition of The Avant Ghetto, Jeff Conklin hosts an
exclusive studio session with Western Massachusetts’ Anthony Pasquarosa
on 6 & 12-string guitar and banjo. A leading light in the fertile
modern American Primitive scene, Pasquarosa has released records via
Feeding Tube Records and VDSQ. Pasquarosa’s exclusive live set for WFMU
features unreleased music, including a piece from the artist’s upcoming
soundtrack to an imaginary spaghetti western.
Youth Code
Monday, May 9th, 8pm - 9pm
on Infinite Distortion
The two (married) members of Los Angeles's Youth Code, Ryan George and
Sara Taylor, showed up to the WFMU studios wearing Youth Of Today and
Deathpile t-shirts respectively. Their sound reflects this blend of
personal politics, heavy electronics, and anthemic songwriting. It's all
set to the relentless drum machine beat of YC's take on the
pop-inflected industrial sound of acts like Nine Inch Nails and Skinny
Puppy. They blew the roof off studio B, so don't be a dweeb and miss
them live and in conversation on Infinite Distortion.
Kreng (Cooties / Camino OSTs)
Tuesday, May 10th, 7pm - 8pm
on Morricone Island with Devon E. Levins
Belgian composer and actor Kreng (aka Pepijn Caudron) joins Morricone
Island to discuss his second feature length film score for "Camino"
directed by Josh C. Waller, his follow up to horror comedy "Cooties"
starring Elijah Wood and Rain Wilson and released digitally by Milan and on vinyl by Death Waltz.
Before recently turning to film, Kreng was primarily a sample-based
composer scoring over 60 theater productions, many for Belgian
surrealist horror theater company Abattoir Fermé with numerous releases
on Norway's Miasmah Records (now based in Berlin). The "Camino" soundtrack is available digitally by Lakeshore and on vinyl by Invada.
Peter Sando of Gandalf
Tuesday, May 10th, 9pm - Midnight
on Irene Trudel's show
At the end of the Psychedelic Sixties, the band Gandalf recorded an
album for Capitol Records, which was released after they broke up and
became a rare collectable LP. Peter Sando wrote their song "Can You
Travel in the Dark Alone," which became a favorite of WNEW-FM's Alison
Steele, "The Nightbird." Flash forward to current times, and Sando is
still writing dreamy songs as a solo artist. Peter's third album "Let
There Be Love" was released at the end of 2015. Peter Sando visits
Irene's show to play live and chat about his musical past.
Chris Farlowe
Thursday, May 12th, Noon - 3pm
on Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine
Diane's guest this week at 1pm is vocalist Chris Farlowe - who had hits
as a solo artist and also sang for Atomic Rooster and Colosseum.
Probably most famous for his version of the Rolling Stones' "Out Of
Time" - which was produced by Mick Jagger and reached #1 on the UK
Singles Charts in 1966, he's known for his powerful yet smooth voice,
and is in the US doing some dates with Van Morrison. Chris will be on
the phone live and listeners can ask questions on the playlist!
Richard Carlin, author of "Godfather of the Music Business: Morris Levy"
Thursday, May 12th, 9pm - Midnight
on Music To Spazz By with Dave the Spazz
Richard Carlin drops by to discuss his new book, "Godfather of the Music
Business: Morris Levy," an incredible tale of one of the most notorious

from Spazz's 1996 WFMU interview with chart-buster Lou Christie!
Peach Kelli Pop
Saturday, May 14th, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd's show
The Todd-O-Phonic Todd cavalcade of stars continues with the illustrious
Peach Kelli Pop! Formerly the drummer of ace combo The White Wires,
Peach Kelli Pop is known for her catchy and tongue-in-cheek songs
inspired by video games, Chinese food and conspiracy theorists,
illustrating not only her playfulness but also her wit and her angst. Be
sure and catch Peach and her ace combo on tour throughout the month of
May including a stop at Palisades in Brooklyn on Friday May 13th.
David Lee Myers
Friday, May 20th, 6am - 9am
on Micah's show

Author Jon Savage
Saturday, May 21st, 3pm - 6pm

ultimate book on British punk, "England's Dreaming."
Footings
Tuesday, May 24th, 9pm - Midnight
on Irene Trudel's show
Peterborough, New Hampshire's Eric Gagne is a longtime fixture of the
town's music scene, having been a member of Redwing Blackbird and Death
to Tyrants. Footings is Gagne's latest band effort, a simple setting of
guitar, viola, drums and vocals, filled with narratives and reflections
on everyday life. Eric is also a founder of "The Thing in the Spring,"
an arts festival held annually throughout the town of Peterborough
which focuses on indie, punk, folk, ambient, and other musical genres.
Footings played live for Irene on a recent trip to NYC.
Laura Gibson
Tuesday, May 31st, 9pm - Midnight
on Irene Trudel's show
After a four-year gap, singer/songwriter Laura Gibson has released
"Empire Builder," an album inspired by two major life events. Her main
inspiration was the Amtrak train route she took while moving from Oregon
to New York. Then after moving to NYC, Gibson lost all her possessions
in the East Village building explosion in March of 2015. Laura's music
has a simplicity that is emotionally dark and uplifting at the same
time. As she describes the resulting album, "The title (Empire Builder)
seemed appropriate because it captures a moment right in the middle of a
big personal change." Laura Gibson drops by WFMU to play live.
Moondog Centennial Celebration
Wednesday, June 1st, 3pm - 6pm
on Irwin Chusid
Moondog
was blind, dressed in ancient Viking regalia, slept on 6th Avenue in
New York during the 1950s, and was a musical genius. He was born Louis
Thomas Hardin, in Marysville, Kansas, 100 years ago May 26. His
biographer, Robert Scotto, visits Irwin's program to celebrate the
Moondog centennial for three hours on June 1. The show will feature
recordings from the 1950s to the 1990s, reflecting the strange sounds
and exotic beauty of one of the most underappreciated American composers
