on Burn It Down! with Nate K.
Burn It Down! with Nate K. is excited to present its first double-band
extravaganza, with a twofer from Manchester, England. Legends in the
making the Hipshakes offer a rowdy, pitch-perfect blend of raucous '60s
frat rock and fuzzed-out punk, while Proto Idiot present a more
stripped-down, "Wirey" flip side to that same classic coin. The two
bands are touring the States together and will both be appearing at
Gonerfest 14 (Sept. 28 - Oct. 1).Tune in Sunday, October 8, from 6 to 9
am to hear the ruckus.
It's Johnny's Birthday!

John Lennon. We're going to devote a full hour of our program
exclusively to the music of John Lennon, with and without the Beatles,
and we're inviting you, the listeners, to participate with your
suggestions. As a special Into the BlackI October Fundraiser
bonus, anyone who becomes a Swag-for-Life member or ups their existing
Swag-for-Life pledge, can request two (2) songs, which Mark GUARANTEES
will be played on the air, even if that means playing nothing but John
Lennon's music for a whole month. You can even make me play that one
where John just plays guitar while Yoko looks for her hand in the snow.
Celebrate Johnny's birthday and help WFMU get Into the Black, too!
Bob Mehr
Monday, October 9th, Noon - 3pm
on Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock

1986' double LP. We're honored to welcome Bob back to the program to

recording eventually saw the light of day!
Wire
Tuesday, October 10th, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
A return to the program six years since their last visit, Wire perform
live in studio on WFMU. Formed in 1976, the group immediately staked its
place as one of Britain's most celebrated exports of art-punk whose
first three records (Pink Flag, 154, and Chairs Missing) are universally
regarded as picture-perfect documents of innovative experimentation in
songcraft. Traversing the lines between raw minimalist punk and complex
experimentations, they've influenced everyone from Minor Threat to My
Bloody Valentine, and continue to create new soundways with their latest
release Silver and Lead. Wire's 40 years have been marked by constant
flux, side projects, regrouping and reinvention, yet they have been
without fail pushing their futuristic ideas into the present, never
resting on past laurels. The current lineup of Colin Newman, Graham
Lewis, Robert Grey and Matthew Simms visit Brian Turner while in town
for a three-night, sold out stand at Baby's All Right in Brooklyn from
September 28-30.
Osman Murat Ertel (of BaBa ZuLa)
Tuesday, October 10th, 7pm - 8pm

director Imre Azem's documentary "Turkey On The Edge" about Turkey's
struggle in the current divisive state, post-failed alleged 2016 coup
attempt with the recent erosion of liberties and consolidation of power
into Erdogan's hands. The score features the Turkish instrument saz
played acoustically and amplified with effects creating electronic
sounds from a minimal sound source. BaBa ZuLa as a band has also
composed for film, television and documentary since its inception in
1996 including "Somersault In A Coffin," "Ice Cream, I Scream," "Biz
Size Asik Olduk," "Hyena" and "Mustang."
Adrian Crowley
Tuesday, October 10th, 9pm - Midnight
on Irene Trudel's show
Irish songster Adrian Crowley writes some of the most darkly beautiful
tunes and fantasmigorical lyrics you'll ever come across. Crowley's
songs unfold like musical novella or like the soundtrack to Brothers
Quay film. On his 8th album, "Dark-Eyed Messenger," Thomas Bartlett aka
Doveman produced, adding antique-sounding touches to Adrian's music.
Adrian Crowley recorded a live set for WFMU when he visited NYC this
past May.

Brown Jr. on view in Brooklyn, a book with Nora Khan titled Fear

Blaue Stunde", a dreamlike collaboration with UK electronicist Bass
Clef, so expect songs brimming with drum machine rhythms, electronic hum
and whirr, and a dollop of dayglo flutter! And what better way to close

"release-what-you-love" approach to business.
Protomartyr live encore broadcast from Montgomery Hall
Sunday, October 15th, 6am - 9am
on Burn It Down! with Nate K.
Simpy put, Detroit's Protomartyr are one of the most dynamic rock bands
working today. Let's make it even simpler, they're one of the best. The
band's dark, anthemic post-punk, combined with frontman Joe Casey's
literary sing-speak vocals, will bring to mind certain UK acts from that
formative, much-worshiped era just after '77, but Protomartyr's sound
remains 100 percent in line with the twenty-first-century US of A, a
necessary and vaguely triumphant soundtrack to counteract the festering
decay and descent into oblivion swirling around us. The band recently
played an astounding set at Montgomery Hall, and Burn It Down with Nate
K. is very excited to present an encore broadcast of that show. It will
be followed by a brief interview with singer Joe Casey.
The Music of Shooby Taylor
Monday, October 16th, 7pm - 8pm
on Vocal Fry with Dan Bodah
William "Shooby" Taylor
called himself "The Human Horn" and turned up on the fringes of the 70s
and 80s New York jazz scene playing "air saxophone." Few took him
seriously, so Taylor paid for studio time to record himself scatting
over his favorite records, or with live accompanists. He achieved
belated renown when WFMU discovered one of his tapes in the 1990s.
Taylor even visited the station in 2002, shortly before passing away at
age 73. Two years later, WFMU Wednesday afternoon host, Irwin Chusid,
acquired dozens of Shooby's master tapes. Irwin recently issued two
digital volumes featuring 45 tracks of Taylor's strange vocalizing via
Bandcamp and iTunes. Irwin
visits Vocal Fry on Monday October 16th to showcase the fascinating
legacy of Shooby Taylor, the Human Horn, and maybe even share a few
exclusive tracks with us.
Singles Going Soundtrack
Tuesday, October 17th, 7pm - 8pm
on Morricone Island with Devon E. Levins

OSTs. Expect some hits from Schifrin, Goldsmith, Mancini and, of course,
Morricone.
All B-Sides All Night Long
Thursday, October 19th, 9pm - Midnight
on Music To Spazz By with Dave the Spazz
This Singles Going Steady Week Dave the Spazz will once again be
plugging the wrong side of the record. Often the forgotten underbelly of
a 45 was usually more rockin’ and crazier than its more illustrious
flip, but you knew that already. Turn on, tune in, flip out!
Alvvays and Richard Gottehrer
Saturday, October 21st, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd's show
Alvvays (pronounced

Polyvinyl, "Antisocialites". Alvvays continues to grow in popularity and
will be headlining Brooklyn Steel on October 7th.

great tunes as "Right Hand Man" and "Cara-Lin" directly from the source!

Fabio Frizzi (the Italian soundtrack legend returns!)
Tuesday, October 24th, 7pm - 8pm
on Morricone Island with Devon E. Levins
Italian horror soundtrack legend Fabio Frizzi returns to Morricone Island in anticipation of his first ever New York City performances at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on October 29th (a live score of director Lucio Fulci's "The Beyond" by the Frizzi 2 Fulci Orchestra) and October 30th
(a tribute to Frizzi's close friend and collaborator Fulci who passed
away in 1996 which will include suites with visuals from Zombi 2, Seven
Notes in Black, The Beyond, City of the Living Dead and Manhattan Baby).
Il Maestro will also be in attendance for a Q&A at Nitehawk
Cinema's November 2nd screening of Fulci's "City of the Living Dead."
Reacquaint yourself to Frizzi's work by revisiting Morricone Island's
archive of its two-part 2015 Frizzi special here: Pt. 1 (the music primer) and Pt. 2 (the interview).
Philip Lewin
Tuesday, October 24th, 9pm - Midnight
on Irene Trudel's show
In 1975, Philip Lewin released a charming homebrew of an album, all of
300 copies worth. "Am I Really Here All Alone?" was barely noticed
outside of Toronto where it was created. In time, Lewin's album was
sought after by collectors, fetching a premium price for this collection
of melancholic folk with a mildly psychedelic tone. Tompkins Square
rescued Philip's album from obscurity, and he's been touring in support
of the re-release. Philip Lewin stops by to play a few tunes for WFMU.

more. From his early days, Ian has been one of the sharpest and most
observant rockers out there. Tune in to hear Todd mercilessly exploit
his knowledge and kindness. Ian Hunter performs at Outpost In The Burbs

The Proletariat
Thursday, November 2nd, Noon - 3pm
on Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine
Diane welcomes members of Boston band The Proletariat to the Fun
Machine! They will be enroute to their performance that night at the
Brighton Bar in Long Branch, NJ, and will stop by for some talk and to
spin some great tunes. Although not a hardcore-by-the-numbers band, they
were at heart of the Boston hardcore scene from the 80's, and the band
reformed a couple of years ago and have been playing gigs to reviews of
being tirelessly energetic and poignant, Diane is happy to bring them to

Group Doueh (video and audiocast from Montgomery Hall)
Tuesday, November 7th, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
Full video and audiocast of the October 7th visit to WFMU's Montgomery
Hall from one of the most blasted psychedelic Western Saharan combos to
hit American shores. Founded in the 1980's, headmaster and guitarist
Doueh's raw distorted electric guitar stylings juxtapose western
elements of Hendrix and James Brown with the poetry of Hassania language
in Saharawi folk tradition, all centered around a big band environment
that includes two vocalists. "Unhinged virtuosity" is a common phrase
attributed to the sound of Group Doueh, truly a spectacle to behold, and
thanks to some high profile releases on the Sublime Frequencies
imprint, the band's audience has grown greatly. The full concert will
stream on wfmu.org home page November 7th on Brian's program, but
listeners are strongly encouraged to attend! Tickets are on sale at
Monty Hall's site, and the October 7 show, presented by Brian Turner's
program, also features NYC's excellent 75 Dollar Bill supporting. A rare
and not-to-be-missed stateside event!
The Crystal Robots
Saturday, November 11th, 11am - 1pm
on Michael Shelley's show
Michael welcomes The Crystal Robots in person to talk about their new album & play a few songs live in the studio!
Macho Blush plus Gaute Granli
Tuesday, November 14th, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
A twofer of live sonic disruption on the program with a US-tour pitstop
at WFMU's studios. Macho Blush is the project of Austin, Texas artist
Gina Probst, whose sound alchemy transcends the normal noise and collage
zones, creating otherwordly atmospheres broken up and reconstructed
before your very ears. She's on tour with Norwegian guitarist Gaute
Granli whose past combos have included Freddy the Dyke and Skadne Krek.
His set promises some further abstractions, or as once eloquently stated
by Sound Projector: "riffs like a baboon casting coconuts from a tree,
and percussion effects that stumble blindly about the room like a hooded
goblin."
Matt Lucas
Saturday, November 18th, 11am - 1pm
on Michael Shelley's show
Michael welcomes powerhouse singer, drummer, and songwriter Matt Lucas,
best known for his crazy rocked-up 1963 version of Hank Snow's "I'm
Movin' On".
Pere Ubu
Tuesday, November 21st, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
Pere Ubu follow up their 2016 performance program with a grand return,
while on tour to support their latest release "20 Years In a Missile
Silo". Undoubtedly one of the most important bands in the history of the
American underground, Pere Ubu emerged from Cleveland in 1975 to
challenge art and rock music to step outside its well-trodden '70s
safety zone. They're often credited with being thee missing link between
the Velvet Underground and the late 70's punk explosion, but have also
established a solid discography of records way beyond that continuing
into the modern era, continually reinventing their own identity and
always looking forward. Pere Ubu plays the Music Hall of Williamsburg
November 12th, and we're honored to have them back on the program.
Paul Karasik
Saturday, November 25th, 11am - 1pm
on Michael Shelley's show
Michael chats with co-authors Mark Newgarden, Paul Karasik about their
new long awaited book "How To Read Nancy" (with forward by Jerry Lewis)
The Rebel
Tuesday, November 28th, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
Inhabiting the strange zone somewhere in between William Burroughs, The
Fall, George Jones and The Residents, The Rebel AKA Ben Wallers has
existed as the solo (and more prolific) extension of London's
beloved-slash-undernourished Country Teasers. Through countless
recordings, Wallers' songs of whimsy and dripping societal observations
and indictments have made for a solid catalogue of true English outsider
greatness; in fact his 2008 visit to Brian's show with band in tow
resulted in the great live LP "Northern Rocks Bear Weird Vegetable" on
the Sacred Bones label. Wallers visits the program on the heels of a
European tour with Austin pals Spray Paint, and his latest LP release
"Poems With Water Triology" is out on Texan imprint Monofonus Press.
