Best FMU DJ, all time: Jefferson (only because it's Jeff Mangum)

Best FMU DJ, currently: OC DJ

― cdwill, Thursday, 28 October 2004 02:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, on another thread, Douglas observed that Steinski "would rather just do 2 or 3 tracks a year than release something that was whack," so I can imagine how much he worked at doing an hour. I really love NO FEAR and the current STEINSKI'S BURNIN' OUT OF CONTROL:THE SUGAR HILL MIX. So his hour is in the WFMU archive now? (My soundcard is whack, most of the time.)

i haven't listened to wfmu since i haven't had broadband--at least 1 1/2 years.

:-(

Not counting Scharpling (who I listen to primarily for comedy), my favorite WFMU DJ lately is Ken Freedman. I've found some great stuff on his show.

Did anyone hear Petey's Listener Hour? A-mazing.

― Mike Dixon, Thursday, 28 October 2004 19:22 (twenty-one years ago)

has no one on this thread mentioned gaylord? are y'all crazy? he is fmu's most pop-tastic dj.

i also love belinda and hova's warped kid's show "greasy kid stuff," which probably has a much smaller playlist than the average fmu show, but it's a damn good playlist, and it's funny, and they're funny, and they, too, are pop-tastic.

Vicki Bennett's DIY or Die archives

― (Jon L), Thursday, 28 October 2004 19:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Oooo, Gaylord Fields once told me I slightly resembled Ann-Margret so he is obviously one of my very favorite WFMU DJs

I was on seven second delay last week when they did the honor system call-in fantasy baseball game. The show was a total wreck but overall it's one of the best call in shows the world has known. I got a turkey and fixins from Andy Breckman during a Thanksgiving scavenger hunt a couple years back, too.

Chris T's Aerial View is great, Greasy Kid Stuff, Kenny G, Ken Freedman, Brian Turner, $mall Change, Frak O'Toole, and I think I remember a DJ named Crow from a few years back who I miss alot.

― Shaun (shaun), Friday, 29 October 2004 19:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Frank, not "Frak" O'Toole

― Shaun (shaun), Friday, 29 October 2004 19:42 (twenty-one years ago)

two months pass...

Wm Berger's The Hip Bone circa early 90s including his groudbreaking 4-trak showcase "lo-fi" (because I met a lot of good friends that way).

Glenn Jones because he doesn't care if I think so and plays whatever he wants.

What happened to Frank O'Toole? I finally have the bandwidth to listen on the web and I can't find his show?

Doug Wolk has/had a show? That must be/have been good.

and lastly, in memorium, TKF

Skooli Descartes, Hyena Sparerib, the Electric Eggplant, SPOOG, S!T!O!I!N!K!

― John Beekman, Friday, 7 January 2005 00:32 (twenty-one years ago)

You can still listen to Douglas' show - the archives are right here.

Also, here are the archives for Frank O'Toole.

― Matthew "Flux" Perpetua, Friday, 7 January 2005 03:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Frank isn't on the current schedule, but he probably come back sooner or later.

― Matthew "Flux" Perpetua, Friday, 7 January 2005 03:56 (twenty-one years ago)

My vote might be discounted but I gotta vote for my homie Mr. FineWine, especially since I was with him when he realized what his DJ name was gonna be.

Offffffftopic:

Does anyone listen to WXYC?

― Mackey, Friday, 7 January 2005 04:25 (twenty-one years ago)

WXYC is great.

― Brian Turner (btwfmu), Friday, 7 January 2005 04:39 (twenty-one years ago)

tim sweeney (beats in space) and actually you can download crazy mixes by everyone from sweeney to cut copy to spektrum at http://www.beatsinspace.com

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Friday, 7 January 2005 05:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I used to really enjoy Michael Goodstein's show. I feel sad that it's been so long since I listened to WFMU. "too much music, too little time"

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Friday, 7 January 2005 05:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Haven't listened in a while but Fabio and Tony Coulter are my faves.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Friday, 7 January 2005 06:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I podcast Jason Forrest to my pod.

― Matt Boch (Matt Boch), Friday, 7 January 2005 08:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Double ups to Badstein. Though I have to listen to archived shows on the Internet.

I LOVE PROFESSOR DUM DUM

― howell huser (chaki), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 04:07 (twenty years ago)

your null frame's email address looks very familiar. i think it may be a fellow dj WPRB. you know, that other station in new jersey.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 04:25 (twenty years ago)

ugh, i mean "a fellow dj at WPRB".

joining words with others and turning them into sentences = *so* overrated

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 04:26 (twenty years ago)

Tracer, when Fine Wine gets back from Spain, we should go see him at Botanica or one of his other gigs.

― k/l (Ken L), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 04:28 (twenty years ago)

Totally!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 06:27 (twenty years ago)

Favorite back to back shows: Charlie and Tony Coulter. I liked Fabio's show a lot too, sorry to see him go. Was the departure his idea or was he chased out?

― I do feel guilty for getting any perverse amusement out of it (Rock Hardy), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 13:53 (twenty years ago)

im sad to loose fabio as well and fully support the charlie/tony combo.

kenny g's been brilliant since his return. as has rob lim.

― bb (bbrz), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 14:24 (twenty years ago)

Hatch, cuz he's my housemate

― Special Agent Dale Koopa (orion), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

My favorite DJ is probably Marc Grobman but my favorite show is probably Monica's.

Me too!

I love the Spazz and many others, though.

― babyalive (babyalive), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 15:55 (twenty years ago)

if admissions staffs like me, I will be at WESU.

― babyalive (babyalive), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 15:57 (twenty years ago)

I was a WESU DJ! I miss my old show :(

― Candicissima (candicissima), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 16:06 (twenty years ago)

Ken, Irwin, Kenny G, Rex, Tony Coulter, Prof. Dum Dum, Kevin Nutt, Mr Fine Wine, Chris T. (I listen to a lot of FMU and I can't decide between them - okay, if I had to pick one it'd be Ken)

I also liked the Pounding System with Clay (who always sounded very down), Small Change (who was fond of the term "Schlitz" instead of "shit" which always cracked me up), and the Bossa Nova show.

― Brakhage (brakhage), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 16:46 (twenty years ago)

I've been unable to listen to weekday shows or archives for a year, so I sorely miss Charlie, Trouble, Ken and Monica.

You should really hear Mark Allen's Halloween show from last Saturday, the body-disposal instructions and Dario Argento murder collage in partic:

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 17:19 (twenty years ago)

Bob Brainen all the way baby.

― Jonathan DD, Wednesday, 2 November 2005 19:13 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, Brainen is always good.

What happened to Laura Cantrell this season? Busy promoting her new album? Hope she returns next season.

― TRG (TRG), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 19:16 (twenty years ago)

I believe her touring schedule made doing her show impractical, at least for now.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 19:33 (twenty years ago)

Yes, Laura's touring schedule is going to keep her from making the amount of shows asked for DJs to take a slot for a season, we hope she's back in the spring, if not sooner doing fill-ins.

― Brian Turner (btwfmu), Thursday, 3 November 2005 02:51 (twenty years ago)

I LOVE WFMU!

― howell huser (chaki), Thursday, 3 November 2005 19:22 (twenty years ago)

one month passes...

yo. I'm the current president of WESU... Just want to give a call from the abyss... we've seen better days, but we're still kicking. The NPR/WSHU bit has been damaging, but... we're working our way out of it, slowly...:
wesufm.org

Anyway, I'm originally from jersey, so, much love to FMU!

― Evan Simko-Bednarski, Wednesday, 7 December 2005 06:02 (twenty years ago)

No more Fabio? What happened? As I mentioned above I haven't listened in quite a while but Fabio was one of my favorites.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 06:31 (twenty years ago)

Did he jump or was he pushed!

― I do feel guilty for getting any perverse amusement out of it (Rock Hardy), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 13:08 (twenty years ago)

Anyone catch FMU as host of NY Noise? I don't usually watch, because I don't usually like it, but I happened to catch this one -- wow! Early Fall, Beefheart (best video ever????), Devo, Lesley Gore, Serge. Those were some wild videos. I cut my phone conversation off in mid-sentence to watch.
Brian - when are they going to podcast your show? I can never listen but would like to.

― TRG (TRG), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 14:41 (twenty years ago)

Fabio'll be back next schedule period, as will Laura Cantrell hopefully, she's touring a lot this season for her album. Thanks for the kind words on the Tv show, was really nice of em to allow those clips to go on. Did you notice that after the Beefheart clip, they had one of those anti-drug PSA TV commercials go on where guys were making crystal meth to what sounded like Beefheart playing in the background. As for podcasting, unfortunately right now we're limited to the shows that have non-licensed music (i.e. talk shows, antique phonograph, collage), maybe that will change someday.

― Brian Turner (btwfmu), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 14:46 (twenty years ago)

A-ha, thanks - hadn't noticed it was only those shows being podcasted, but that makes sense. And yeah, also noticed the Crystal Meth commercial but didn't notice the music. Is the Beefheart vid available on something? (Should probably pay more attention to DVDs but I don't.)

― TRG (TRG), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 14:57 (twenty years ago)

xpost TRG: even if it's not as automated as a podcast, saving shows to your hard drive is really very easy. Save the .m3u file that the "Listen to mp3" link brings up to your hard drive, instead of playing it. Open that file in a text editor (e.g. Notepad in Windows)--that will show the direct link to the mp3 file of the show. Plug that link into a download manager and you've got it. WFMU seems to keep the mp3 links active for 2-3 weeks--after that it's just the Real Audio format, which sounds pretty cruddy.

― These Robust Cookies (Robust Cookies), Friday, 9 December 2005 22:09 (twenty years ago)

Thanks Robust for the tip!

― Brakhage (brakhage), Saturday, 10 December 2005 05:27 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, thanks Robust

― TRG (TRG), Saturday, 10 December 2005 17:04 (twenty years ago)

one year passes...

This Hatch character (9-12 on Tuesdays) appears to be a genius, if only he'd step off the old reggae just a bit.

― kwhitehead, Wednesday, 24 October 2007 03:23 (eighteen years ago)

FATTY JUBBO!!!
