UPCOMING SPECIALS ON WFMU
Wet Ink violinist Josh Modney
Friday, July 27th, Noon - 3pm
on Miniature Minotaurs with Kurt Gottschalk
Violinist Josh Modney is a fixture of the New York new music scene. He's a member of Wet Ink and the International Contemporary Ensemble and played with the Mivos Quartet for eight years. He's releasing his first solo album, a sprawling three-cd set with compositions by Anthony Braxton, Sam Pluta and Kate Soper, plus some old guy called Bach. He'll be stopping by to play live, preview the CD and chat a bit on Miniature Minotaurs, July 27 at noon.
Waterloo Underground
Friday, July 27th, 9pm - 11pm
on What's Happening?!?! with Matt Clarke (on Rock & Soul Ichiban stream)
For the millions of Kinks fans swarming like flies round Waterloo Underground. Miriam and Marc present two hours of Kinks songs and fandom. Ray, Dave and Mick need to hear why we want them to reform. Let's Go Kinks Reunion!
Olivia Chaney
Saturday, July 28th, 6am - 9am
on Shrunken Planet with Jeffrey Davison
Olivia Chaney, who quietly entered the U.K. music scene in England less than a decade ago, didn't come to the attention of most people before her first full-length release, The Longest River, in 2015. She is one of the finest musicians recording today, and easily bears comparison to the best of the 1970s, a golden age of music from the British Isles. Her latest, Shelter, just out on Nonesuch, demonstrates once again that Chaney is one of our most poetic songwriters. Now on tour in the U.S., she visits National Sawdust on July 31st, and will spend some time chatting this morning about her new record. This segment will be in the 8-9am hour.
Seymour Stein of Sire Records
Saturday, July 28th, 11am - 1pm
on Michael Shelley's show
Michael chats with Seymour Stein about his new autobiography "Siren Song My Life In Music" which recounts the 60 year career of "America's greatest living record man" with great stories about the record business characters that crossed his path and the artists that he's signed, including: The Ramones, The Talking Heads, The Pretenders, The Replacements, The Flamin' Groovies, The Smiths, etcetera etcetera.
Cut Worms
Saturday, July 28th, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd's show
Cut Worms are a vehicle for the stunning songwriting of Max Clarke. A Cut Worms song may impress an innocent summer stroll across fields of tall grass and lavender but there's undoubtedly a severed ear out in there in the grass. Some unseen dark forces are always lurking at the edges of songs' sunbursts. Bright, beautiful lap steel or a cheery harmonica accompaniment often belie an impending doom or crestfallen narrator. Cut Worms debut album on Jagjaguwar, Hollow Ground, will no doubt appear on many Best Of 2018 lists. Max has previously appeared solo on Todd's show, but for this set he will be joined by the full orchestra.
The Octopus Project
Tuesday, July 31st, 7pm - 8pm
on Morricone Island with Devon E. Levins
Austin's The Octopus Project joins Devon in the studio to discuss the band's third feature length film score for writer-director David and Nathan Zellner's western "Damsel" starring Mia Wasikowska and Robert Pattinson (the soundtrack of which was released by Milan Records). The band previously scored the Zellner Brothers' earlier films "Kid-Thing" (2012) and "Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter" (2014), as well as the 70's sci-fi inspired video game soundtrack for "Thunderbeam." The Octopus Project plays Elsewhere in Bushwick on Saturday, July 14.

Wednesday, August 1st, 7pm - 8pm

Ben Hall is a Detroit-based percussionist, improvisor, composer, visual artist, educator, label owner, restaurant owner and food activist. He also runs the online Detroit gospel archive, Bap-tizum, a deep trove of rare recordings. Ben has enjoyed fruitful collaborations with Bill Dixon, Joe Morris, Jon Olson from Wolf Eyes, C. Spencer Yeh, Don Dietrich from Borbetomagus, and Nate Wooley, among many others. The first part of the show Ben will be joined by Tuba player Ben Stapp. The 2nd part of the set will be solo percussion, heavy on extended technique. Enough to blow minds!

John Noreen of The Rose Garden
Saturday, August 4th, 11am - 1pm
on Michael Shelley's show
Michael chats with John Noreen about his time in The Rose Garden, who while John was still a teen went from rehearsing in his L.A. bedroom to being signed to ATCO Records. Along the way the band crossed paths with Neil Young, Gene Clark, Sonny Bono and other characters tangential to the swinging L.A. scene. Described as a melding of The Byrds and The Mama's and the Papa's, they were short lived, but long remembered, mostly for their 1967 single “Last Plane To London,” a #17 hit.

Miriam and Nobody's Babies have firmly established themselves as WFMU favorites and actually feature on-air personalities such as Matt Clark, Ira Kaplan and Matt Fiveash in the band.

Ethan, Master of the Hawaiian Ukulele
Wednesday, August 8th, 7pm - 8pm
on Irene Trudel's show
Claiming to have been "born in a volcano with nothing but a dream and board shorts," Ethan, Master of the Hawaiian Ukulele lets his stream of consciousness flow through every song he writes. The Austin-based musician is a rail-thin six feet five inches tall, strums guitar instead of ukulele and is hilarious in his "matter of fact" way. This will be Ethan's third visit to Irene's show on WFMU, as he prepares his first release in 10 years, "No Man is an Island", out on cassette and digital this fall.
