Graffiti or God's Art?" the day before. Produced by Sean Lennon, the
album is the group’s most musically evolved to date, while still staying

getting his feature length film scoring start on his director brother

thriller "The Babadook" and John Maclean's western "Slow West."
Tom Wilson's Music Factory #16 - Appletree Theatre
Wednesday, May 10th, 3pm - 6pm
on Irwin Chusid
In 1967 and '68 the charismatic record producer Tom Wilson hosted a
free-form radio program called "The Music Factory," sponsored by
MGM-Verve Records. The series has been gone from radio ever since, but
Irwin is airing episodes on alternate Wednesdays at 4pm (Eastern). On
May 10th, Tom Wilson welcomes to the Factory John Boylan, one-half of
the two-brother band Appletree Theatre. In addition to presenting tracks
by Appletree from their album "Playback," Wilson spins tunes by Jimmy
Smith, Ultimate Spinach, the Blues Project, and Pat Williams. Also in
the program, Wilson and Pauline Rivelli, editor of Jazz & Pop
magazine, discuss the increasing confluence of jazz and rock,
name-checking Cecil Taylor, Archie Shepp, Zappa, Sun Ra, and John
Coltrane along the way.
White Hills
Wednesday, May 10th, 9pm - Midnight
on The Evan "Funk" Davies Show
Brooklyn-based heavy psych duo White Hills return for their third
appearance on The Evan "Funk" Davies Show, and fourth appearance on WFMU
overall! Their latest album Stop, Mute, Defeat (Thrill Jockey)
was mixed by Martin Bisi and finds the band in a somewhat more
experimental/industrial place, and still every bit as vital and
compelling than their previous records. They're playing at Union Pool on
Thursday May 11 before heading off on a European tour, to be followed
by US dates later this summer. Tune in Wednesday night, May 10, to hear
White Hills live on WFMU!
Borzoi
Tuesday, May 16th, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
In what Brian hopes to be the kickoff of a series of live guests named
after Russian dogs, today's program welcomes the trio known as Borzoi
out of Austin, Texas. Kicking up a blitzkreig of noise combined with a
more subtle leaning towards hooks, the band's fast and furious squall
has made itself evident on 7" singles on Pau Wau and most recently 12XU
Records. See them live May 20th at Pet Rescue, on a bill with Language
and Rathaus.
Steve Keene
Saturday, May 20th, 11am - 1pm
on Michael Shelley's show
Michael chats with Brooklyn based Steve Keene, who for many years has
been selling his paintings at WFMU Record Fairs for under $5, and has
been called "The World's Most Prolific Painter." They'll discuss why
& how Steve does what he does and the details behind his show at New
York's Marlborough Gallery, whcih opens May 25th.
Quadruple header! Featuring So What, Holly Macve, RMBLR, and Bash & Pop
Saturday, May 20th, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd's show
The Big Combo Series mounts a comeback as three bands appear on the Todd-O-Phonic Todd Show:
So What
are a brand spanking new glam and high energy power pop band from the
Bay Area. Their first full-length on Just Add Water is an explosion of
hooks and melodies. Heavily influenced by The Equals, it is fitting that
they are Equals' vocalist Derv Gordon's backing band for his shows at
Monty Hall on Friday 5/19 and Baby's All Right Saturday 5/20. They will
also be doing their own set each night.
In their four star review of her eponymous debut, Record Collector says Holly Macve
is like "an ethereal offspring of Nick Cave blessed with the stark
musical backdrop of Johnny Cash's American series, 21 year-old Macve
turns country music on its head." Check out her new album on Becca Union
and see her perform at Rough Trade on May 17th.
RMBLR
is the rambunctious brain-child of former Dino's Boys frontman Chase
Tail. Beer soaked and gin fueled rock'n'roll is what you would expect
and what you get and you'll be damn happy about that. These good ole
Southern Boys have a sizzling 7" EP on Fat Possum and will be playing
with So What, Daddy Long Legs and Derv Gordon at Baby's All Right on
Saturday 5/20.
"Anything Could Happen," the recent album by Bash & Pop
is one of 2017's best albums and rivals front man Tommy Stinson's work
with The Replacements. Look forward to hearing songs from this great
release performed live and perhaps some stories of rock'n'roll
debauchery. Bash & Pop perform at The Bell House on May 18th.
Cool Ghouls
Monday, May 22nd, Noon - 3pm
on Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock
The San Francisco quartet responsible for one of 2016's best albums, the
scary-good "Animal Races" brings its jangling guitars and great songs
to WFMU.
The Mighty Manfred (of the Woggles) PLUS Tiger! Tiger! (Matt M. fills in for Todd-o-phonic Todd)
Saturday, May 27th, 3pm - 6pm
on What's Happening?!?! with Matt M
While Todd-o-phonic Todd is soaking up the Jersey sun, Matt continues
the cavalcade of stars! He welcomes The Mighty Manfred of the legendary
Woggles for a chat about their upcoming local shows. Also on the show
will be a live set from Atlanta garagers "Tiger! Tiger!" who will be playing at Gold Sounds in Brooklyn that night.
Marshall Crenshaw
Saturday, June 3rd, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd's show
Pop purveyor Marshall Crenshaw hangs out with Todd-O-Phonic Todd to play
some of his favorite records and chat about his illustrious career as
musician, DJ, and fan. This one is going to be a treat!
