Your favorite WFMU DJ!

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!

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

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.

Stan

forgot how great shrunken planet can be when you're in the mood

rex on saturday morning, perfect music + perfect time for it

I keep forgetting how great Irene Trudel's show is.

Let's have a little love for the Inner Ear Detour with David.

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.

twitter feed uses term 'golden age of syphilis'

rex on saturday morning, perfect music + perfect time for it

saturday afternoon for me but yeah this ^^, practically without fail

haha he actually reminds me a lot of 1xtra's dancehall dj robbo ranx

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.

yeah good call. the last time i was listening to fabio week in week out was amid an even higher than usual concentration of cluster/rother/related reissues & oddities resurfacing, so i tend to think of it as being older stuff. but right on.

new kid Mike Van Laar has been doing some excellent shows. psych/kraut/post punk etc pulled from mutant sounds and the other usual suspects.

Joe McGasko does a great show too.

i haven't heard yet, but psyched to check this out after hearing monica mention it:

i don't get to hear Ken's archives much, but i enjoy lookin at his gifs

http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/53261

Ken was in bonkers politics mood today, always amazing

It was great, and followed by a monster Duane Train. Duane is quickly becoming my new favorite WFMU dj.

Pseu Braun's Thing With a Hook is back, now Tuesday noon-3! I can hear it on my mini-radio from my aerie in lower Manhattan.

I just read that Wm. Berger has passed away but I don't know anything more..

that's a damn shame

Ken and Duane Train always produce the goods

This is terrible news.

damn, RIP.

I guess one of my new fave 'DJs' is... p4reene

neat

listening to FMU around 11am today, Pickle time Theater's Matty Gherkin plays Don Felder's "heavy Metal." I heard the same song on another show last week. Does any dedicated FMU phreak know if this is a recent meme for the station? seems improbable that two shows would play a forgotten FM chestnut coincidentally?

later Pseu Braun on her show was talking about a commenter on some FMU page or other: "Matthew Sweet's Yoga Farts." I have been laughing since then.

There has been a whole thing around Don Felder lately, yes, possibly instigated by Station Mgr Ken.

Pseu roolz

He plays it every on every show at 11. I think it's the most favorited song.

Oops, added an extra every. I blame Don Felder.

Dr. Morbius OTM; I love Pseu!!!

should i complain that i never got my dj premium? i mean i don't *really* care, it would just be nice

From this spring's marathon? They're just now starting to get it sent out. I haven't gotten mine either.

I Want My Swag!
We are getting ready to begin the months-long process of mailing out swag to everyone who pledged to our 2018 Marathon (the more stuff you requested, the longer it will take). This year’s swag is worth the wait!

ah, cool

thanks

I just got an email for volunteering, so it sounds like they are starting to send out swag today.

ah yes Friedman, you and yr FMU lackeys think yr funny? then play this, in which Felder repurposed his contributions to "Life in the Fast Lane"…

Probably a dumb question: does the station pay for the production of DJ premiums or do the DJs kick in production costs?

I think the answer is both, depending on the dj -- if the dj can pitch in on production (Scharpling had family in the t-shirt biz, for instance), they do -- but Station Manager Ken would probably give you a clear answer.

RIP X-Ray Burns.

This is so awful.

got a hearty handshake from the man at last year's marathon

RIP

Really, really heartbreaking episode of the Glen Jones Radio Program last night.

RIP. Frank's was a gateway show for me about 35 years ago.

We're very sad to share the news that longtime WFMU DJ Frank O'Toole passed away last night. Frank started at WFMU in 1976 when he was at Upsala College, the school that WFMU used to be part of. We will miss his kindness and knowledge.

RIP -- I always liked his 6-9 web-only show, which I caught pretty often as an early riser.
