UPCOMING SPECIALS ON WFMU
Over The Edge
Monday, June 19th, 6pm - 7pm
on Do or DIY with People Like Us
From 1981 to 2015, Negativland's Don Joyce hosted Over The Edge, the
longest running block of freeform live mix collage radio in broadcast
history -- a program which continues today, having been inherited by
long time show participant and collaborator Jon Leidecker. In this very Wobbly
interview, Vicki and Jon discuss the history of collage radio, and the
slow evolution of the Edge, as well as its many possible futures, both
True and False.
New
Zealand extravaganza with Roger Shepherd (founder of Flying Nun
Records), Hamish Kilgour of The Clean, and Francisca Griffin of Look
Blue Go Purple
Tuesday, June 20th, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
When Roger Shepherd conceived his record label Flying Nun in the
backroom of a Christchurch, New Zealand record store in the early '80's,
he gave birth to one of the most fertile and influential imprints in
the independent music world. It's DIY aesthetic and connectivity to the
country's post-punk zeitgeist gave international exposure to such
artists as The Chills, Verlaines, Clean, Tall Dwarfs, Bailter Space,
Straitjacket Fits, Bats, Axemen, and more. The label was sold off in
1990, but returned to its independent self in 2009, and continues to
create a platform for New Zealand's music scene. Recently, Shepherd
authored his memoir, In Love With These Times, out on Harper-Collins. He
stops by Brian's show today with Hamish Kilgour of The Clean in tow for
a retrospective on the great Flying Nun, with plenty of rarely-heard
live recordings of the label's roster, collected by Brian to complement
their visit. As a bonus, Francisca Griffin (one-time known as Kathy
Bull) phones in to talk about her time in the fantastic 1980's all-
female combo Look Blue Go Purple who hailed from Dunedin, NZ. For the
uninitiated, Captured Tracks and Flying Nun have just released a
stateside 2LP anthology of this great band's wonderful and enduring
lysergic pop.
Thomas Arthur Doyle (TAD)
Tuesday, June 20th, 7pm - 8pm
on Morricone Island with Devon E. Levins

years playing jazz clubs while studying classical music at Boise State
University, Doyle releases his symphonic take on the dark and dreary
textures, rhythms and material rolling around in his head informed by
the likes of Morricone, horror films and Mozart. Not for the meek at
heart.
Tom Wilson's Music Factory #19 - Sandy Posey
Wednesday, June 21st, 3pm - 6pm

our June 21st episode, Wilson welcomes to the Music Factory country-pop
singer Sandy Posey and features tracks from four Posey albums. Elsewhere
in the program, Wilson spins tunes by Evie Sands, the Blues Project,
the Fabulous Farquahr, Ohio Express, and others. Wilson also interviews
Claude Hall of Billboard magazine about the groovy new "Playtape" audio
system soon to be optional in Volkswagens.
Director Drew Stone
Thursday, June 22nd, Noon - 3pm
on Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine
At 1pm Diane welcomes Drew Stone, Director of 2 music scene movies that

episodic format, the film contains interviews, never before seen footage
and a blazing soundtrack. He also is responsible for the production and
direction of "Who The F**K Is That Guy? The Fabulous Journey of Michael
Alago" - the story of a NYC icon -a man's journey in the music business
from making coffee to signing Metallica. Both movies are in different
stages of release, and Drew will be here with a playlist and take a
little bit of a break out from his busy schedule to talk about the
films! Drew will be live, listeners can ask him questions via the
comments board!

Friday, June 23rd, 9am - Noon
on Give The Drummer Some with Doug Schulkind (on Give the Drummer Radio stream)

historic, five-hour John Coltrane documentary, "Tell Me How Long Trane's
Been Gone." Titled In the Pyramids, Part 2 investigates the science and

motivations from transitioning from playing standard chord progressions
into embracing first a model style, then a more spiritual grounding.
Interviews with modal theorist George Russell, and Coltrane scholar
Andrew White are featured. Hear John Coltrane himself speak about
getting to "the best good" he can get to on his horn and as a man. Also
hear the earliest known taped interview with Coltrane as he speaks about
religion. Sonny Rollins, McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, Steve Lacy, Sonny
Fortune, Cornel West and Amiri Baraka are also a significant part of
this section of the documentary. Remember to tune in at 11am to hear it

Derek Walmsley & The Wire Magazine Guest DJ Roundtable
Friday, June 23rd, 9pm - Midnight
on Daniel Blumin's show
As The Wire magazine celebrates it's 400th issue, editor Derek Walmsley
drops in for a visit to spin some favorites and chat about where the
magazine has been and where it's heading. He will also be live-editing
everything that is said making this the least discombobulated radio
program on record. But where were we?
Since the first issue of The Wire emerged in 1982, features such as
Epiphanies and Invisible Jukebox as well as the heterogeneous reviews
section have done much to encourage open-minded approaches to listening
and musical discovery - an accomplishment worth celebrating! But that's
not all! Once the editing is complete, tune in for guest DJ sets and
conversations with several of the edited. Don't miss the musical
selections from bonny Wire writers that'll make your toes twirl and your
minds sizzle!
The Regrettes PLUS Peter Perrett (The Only Ones)
Saturday, June 24th, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd's show
The latest teenage sensation from California, The Regrettes,
power through a live set. Writing songs that proudly bear a brazen and
unabashed attitude in the vein of acts Courtney Barnett or Karen O -
with a pop aesthetic reminiscent of 50's and 60's acts a la the
Temptations or Buddy Holly - the LA based four piece create infectious,
punk driven tracks. The Regrettes Warner Bros. debut, "Feel Your
Feelings Fool!," is a joyous and honest romp through the emotional
rollercoaster of the teenage dream. Catch The Regrettes at Rough Trade
on June 21st.
40 years after The Only Ones made their debut, Peter Perrett has
released a new solo album on Domino Records, "How The West Was Won." He
has rediscovered the importance of rock'n'roll and now rock'n'roll can
rediscover the importance of Peter Perrett. Enjoy a conversation between
two masters of deadpan wit.
Honey Radar
Sunday, June 25th, 6am - 9am
on Burn It Down! with Nate K.
Playing a fractured, eminently catchy lo-fi psych-pop that brings
together the best elements of various strains of DIY, while occasionally
calling to mind the more gleefully scattershot singles of the classic
Guided By Voices line-up, Honey Radar are one of the most infectious and
satisfying, not to mention prolific (check out their band camp page),
bands working in the underground today. They play Alphaville in
Brooklyn on Tuesday, July 20, with San Francisco's Rays, Australia's Rat
Columns, and local faves Home Blitz, and they will be live on Burn It
Down! with Nate K. Sunday, June 25.

Nun pop.

2, from 6:00 to 9:00 AM to hear them, and, of course, God bless America.

Tropical Trash
Tuesday, August 29th, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
Not to be confused with the waste disposal agency in Hilton Head, South
Carolina, the Louisville version of Tropical Trash liquify the
proceedings with their unique blend of fried hardcore and no-wave
trailerpark anthems. They play live today on the heels of their new
Sophomore Lounge single and expect to headline The Rock's Presidential
Victory concert in 2020.
