SINNER'S CROSSROADS!!! Can't believe it's not been mentioned here, yet. My favorite show holy fuck, so good.

There are at least a dozen shows I miss a lot, even shows I didn't necessarily dig at the time like whatsisface the guy who had the retro show on Saturdays (I think?) in the late '80s, who used to be a pot delivery guy for his day job -- fuck it's gonna drive me crazy. He had some silly nickname? He played a lot of great raw Norton type stuff...

Anyway it's so great that Brian and Fabio are still on the air -- I always get turned on to so much stuff by them. Wish I could podcast their shit!

The Hound, Mike? I thought he ran a bar or something.

that one on Ave B -- is it still there? Lakeside Lounge?

DJs are doing their best-of-2007 on the blog, btw:

i like hearing the beginning of dj rupture's show at the end of my seven second delay podcasts. too bad there's not a podcast version of his show (?).

Jordan, Friday, 28 December 2007 16:36 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, Mudd Up! (the /rupture show) is great. I listen to it at the end of my workday on Wednesdays.

Alex in SF, Friday, 28 December 2007 17:56 (sixteen years ago) link

Strangely the little I've heard of Seven Second Delay isn't funny at all.

Alex in SF, Friday, 28 December 2007 17:56 (sixteen years ago) link

It's easier once you understand that the show is often funnier when it's not funny.

Dr Morbius, Friday, 28 December 2007 18:02 (sixteen years ago) link

I didn't think it was funny at first either, and now I luv it.

Jordan, Friday, 28 December 2007 18:06 (sixteen years ago) link

mike a -- yes that was it, the hound! and of course i meant "allegedly" in ref. to his other job before he opened that bar.

er sorry its monica

i only listen to wfmu tues @ 8 & wed @ 6 so i am not familiar w/ the djs

deeznuts, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 00:52 (fifteen years ago) link

where is the bob brainen love? he and fabio are like the two halves of jeff lebowski to me.

shrunken planet and airborn event, too.
& i really love donna & ira's fill ins.

schlump, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 20:36 (fifteen years ago) link

Finally listened to brainen the other day. Pretty good.

James Redd and the Blecchs, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 21:02 (fifteen years ago) link

No one told me gaylord hates pie. That sounds terrible.

forksclovetofu, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 21:39 (fifteen years ago) link

Yeah, what was that all about?

James Redd and the Blecchs, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 21:44 (fifteen years ago) link

He's the opposite of Murray Hewitt.

James Redd and the Blecchs, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 21:57 (fifteen years ago) link

i think brainen plays jazz is better than brainen plays pop, some of the pop stuff being a little too sunshine and jangles. but then i'm not a massive byrds fan. he's a really endearing guy ... listening to him run through a line-up and say 'no slouches' makes me want to pay more attention to musician who's-whos more than i do.

Back when you could only listen to WFMU if you lived in North New Jersey / the Western half NYC.

tokyo rosemary, Thursday, 2 October 2008 03:29 (fifteen years ago) link

RIP Hatch's show.

tokyo: Debbie d?

forksclovetofu, Thursday, 2 October 2008 04:46 (fifteen years ago) link

Yeah, very sad about Hatch. He is a class A guy and did a great show. Hopefully he'll be back soon... I finally had the chance to meet him recently and he was really quite nice. They'll keep on rockin' without him I guess...

jonathan - stl, Thursday, 2 October 2008 08:15 (fifteen years ago) link

aw, hatch's was a good show. i feel bad for not listening for a while; he seemed really energised by the primaries going on last time i was tuning in. what happened?

MMmmmmm....Monica's back,luv her!

phil67, Thursday, 2 October 2008 20:47 (fifteen years ago) link

Soooo psyched for Monica back on the schedule.

Thanks for the love, folks. That logo is totally tongue-in-cheek, by the way. If anybody enjoyed our RNC Remix webstream in 2004, we've organized a sequel of sorts for Election Day:

WFMU's Electile Dysfunction 2008

Hatch, Wednesday, 29 October 2008 17:22 (fifteen years ago) link

election day should be good listenin'.

has anyone heard this yet, by the way?, radio freetown? i caught monday's, it was excellent. i'd never heard monica before her comeback, either, she's great.

They're about to do this World's Greatest Music Experts panel on Michael Shelley's show.

This was pretty cool. As Wes Montgomery said.

totally thought this thread would be populated by lonely bumps in which i reiterated how great monica's show is. reliably educationally fantastic.

^^^ agreed re: Monica

I used to hate the Michael Shelley + Rex block on Saturday...wtf was I thinking.

There's only one DJ I hate so much I switch to a different stream asap.

i think i need to change up my listening habits a little. are there any shows people are liking currently for like, newer stuff? i dug up an old hatch show for a lindstrom remix, beguilingly overlaid with the rantings of some crazy anti-obama ranter. i think i usually gravitate towards my comfort zones.
