UPCOMING SPECIALS ON WFMU
Paint Fumes
Monday, June 4th, Noon - 3pm
on Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock
The Charlotte, North Carolina trio returns to play for a third time at WFMU. Scuzzy garage, classic punk, and blazing surf that’s drenched in more echo than you can shake a distortion pedal at.
Scott Johannsson (Ondes Positives Recordings/LARVA)
Tuesday, June 5th, 7pm - 8pm
on Morricone Island with Devon E. Levins
Scott Johannsson, co-owner of UK-based limited edition soundtrack label Ondes Positives Recordings and member of live score band LARVA, returns to discuss the label's latest releases, including a deluxe 7" of unreleased music from the 1973 horror cult classic "Messiah Of Evil" and a new LARVA re-score of Chris Marker's 1962 sci-fi short "La Jetée" in three different special editions. Scott will be performing his solo live score to UFO cult educational film "UNARIUS: The Arrival" at this year's Worcester Music Festival on September 16. Revisit Scott's 2016 Morricone Island appearance discussing 1961 3D-horror classic "The Mask" here.
Gently Mixed: Duck Baker
Wednesday, June 6th, 7pm - 8pm
on Irene Trudel's show
American fingerstyle guitar master Duck Baker has so many albums to his credit since he started out in the 1970's that it's hard to know where to dip in. Baker is equally comfortable playing traditional British and Irish folk music, modern and free jazz, old-timey country, blues, gospel and ragtime music, all with an ease that belies its difficulty. Duck currently lives in the UK but visits the states from time to time. Two new album releases-- "Les Blues Du Richmond : Demos & Outtakes, 1973-1979" on Tompkins Square and "Duck Baker Plays Monk" on Triple Point Records-- prompted his latest visit. Duck Baker visited Irene at WFMU to play a few tunes with a lively conversation in between.
Anemone
Friday, June 8th, 3pm - 6pm
on Sophisticated Boom Boom with Sheila B.
All hail Canada for delivering some of the best left-field pop we’ve heard in recent years. Montreal’s Anemone is the latest Canadian export to dazzle us with their psychedelic-tinged percussive pop that recalls beloved 90s bands like Broadcast and Stereolab. At the helm of Anemone is songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Chloé Soldevila, whose Spanish roots and affinity for balmy beats keep her warm during Canada’s brutal and long winters. On Friday June 8th, Anemone will be opening for their fellow Montrealites, Men I Trust at Monty Hall. And just before sound-check the band will be popping up to WFMU HQ to play songs off their debut EP, Baby Only You & I, out now on Luminelle Recordings.
La Luz and The Tenders
Saturday, June 9th, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd's show
The female quartet La Luz have just released the third full length, Floating Features on Hardly Art. The band's shimmering and fetchingly restrained contained surf and do wop sounds have never sounded better and will be on full display with a live set on the Todd-O-Phonic Todd show. Don't miss them June 8th at Public Arts in Manhattan and June 9th at Baby's All Right in Brooklyn.
plus...
The Tenders are part of the exciting scene currently calling Nashville home. The stylish trio of blues, dark surf, garage and rockabilly. Their first track to see the light of day, "Adeline" portends a very bright and exciting future. Be sure and check out The Tenders June 8th at Berlin in lower Manhattan and June 10th in Brooklyn at Kingsland.
Exquisite Corpse- Sardine: The Unchovy
Saturday, June 16th, Midnight - 3am
on Inflatable Squirrel Carcass with Rich Hazelton
The Inflatable Squirrel Carcass proudly brings you another exquisite corpse, or, in this case, an exquisite course in marketing and brand management. Sardines, superstars in Portugal (they even have stores devoted to them), sit gathering dust on the shelves of America’s retail food markets. Search “sardines in literature” and you find yourself looking at 529,000 results, most of which have nothing to do with literature and everything to do with “Qualitative analysis of sardine and anchovy oscillations and implications for the management of sardine and anchovy fisheries in Oman.” Where is the Flicka or Charlotte of sardines? Why are sardines always portrayed in the can or heading in that direction? Even the cockroach (thank you Franz Kafka) and the rat (thank you Michael Jackson) have been used effectively to describe life and love. But the sardine? Nothing but an easy metaphor for subway passengers during rush hour. Well we, and when I say “we” I mean nine other DJs and myself, have set out to right this glaring wrong. How? Let us begin by sharing the fruit of knowledge and enjoy that which the gods fear most: “Think sardine, be sardine.”
Ken Stringfellow & Jon Auer of The Posies
Saturday, June 16th, 11am - 1pm
on Michael Shelley's show
Michael welcomes Ken Stringfellow & Jon Auer of The Posies, who will drop by with their acoustic guitars to play a few songs and discuss their mammoth 30th anniversary tour, which bring them around the world, including stops at Manhattan’s Bowery Ballroom Sunday June 17th and on The Todd-O-Phonic Todd show on June 23rd!
Duncan Hannah
Saturday, June 16th, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd's show
Dunkan Hannah is an American painter best known for his depictions of idyllic landscapes culled from adventure stories and classic films. His painterly realist style and anachronistic subjects are reminiscent of Edward Hopper. His works are held in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Minneapolis Institute of Fine Art, among others. Born in Minneapolis, Duncan came to New York City in the early 70's and fortunately for us chronicle of his experiences with music, art, film, sex, literature and more in an amazing series of notebooks which were recently published by Knopf as 20th Century Boy: Notebooks of the Seventies. Mr. Hannah joins Todd-O-Phonic Todd in the studio to talk about these incredible times and play the music that accompanied them.
The Queers, James Williamson and The Posies
Saturday, June 23rd, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd's show
Joe Queer has been playing his Ramones influenced punk rock with The Queers since the beginning of the 1980's and there are no signs of him letting up now. Joe's songs are not only great slices of pop influenced punk but many of them are chock full of wit and humor. Expect to hear some classic Queers material like "Punk Rock Girls", "Kicked Out Of The Webelos", "I Met Her At The Rat" and "This Place Sucks". See The Queers with fellow punk rock legends The Dickies at The Stanhope House on June 12th and The Kinglsand in Brooklyn on June 13th.
plus...
James Williamson, the legendary guitarist for Iggy and The Stooges during their Raw Power/Metallic K.O. era joins Todd-O-Phonic Todd to talk about that chaotic era, as well as the "Raw Power" reunion gigs and his new band James Williamson and The Pink Hearts. The groups' powerful debut album, Behind The Shade will be released on June 22nd with record release shows in Los Angeles and San Francisco to follow the next weekend.
plus...
A week after their acoustic set with Michael Shelley, The Posies make like Bob Dylan at Newport and go electric with Todd-O-Phonic Todd. The Seattle quartet is celebrating their 30th Anniversary throughout 2018 and will be playing a WFMU presented show at The Bowery Ballroom on June 17th. Don't miss their classic pop stylings on tour or on the radio!
Illustrator Michael Sloane
Thursday, June 28th, 9am - Noon
on This Is The Modern World with Trouble
Trouble will welcome illustrator Michael Sloane to This is the Modern World. Michael is the author and creator of The Zen of Nimbus comics, graphic novels and paintings. His illustration work has appeared in many publications including The New York Times and The New Yorker.
Michael Sloane's collaboration with author Jake Halpern on Welcome to the New World, a recent NY Timescomic strip that documents the lives of a Syrian refugee family recently arrived in the U.S. was awarded a 2018 Pulitzer Prize in editorial cartooning.
Pearl Charles
Saturday, July 14th, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd's show
Pitchfork says of Pearl Charles' debut album Sleepless Dreamer: "Charles' record takes cues from movements all over the American map. There are hints of Southern folk and alt-country, Midwest Americana, and West Coast acid rock." Pearl manages to coalesce these and other influences into something wholly original that will be on full display with a live set on the Todd-O-Phonic Todd show. Catch her live at Baby's All Right on July 20th.
