WFMU

WFMU is broadcasting live from Gonerfest from Sept. 27-29!
Every year the fall kicks off in big style down Memphis way when the ginchy record label Goner holds its annual festival of rockist tendencies, Gonerfest. Gonerfest gets legal this year with its 21st edition, and to celebrate, the Goner folks have invited WFMU along to broadcast from the festival. A whole flock of WFMU DJs will be there to guide you through the action! To tweak a line by a certain singer from Memphis, “Let’s get real, real GONER for a change!”

Sunday at Monty Hall!

on Burn It Down! with Nate K.
Now in its fourth decade, Oneida is an underground rock institution, a working definition of true artistic independence in the face of an industry that seems to have less use for such a thing than ever before. The band blends psych, motorik, free improv, and old-fashioned FM jammage into an exhilarating sound completely their own. Oneida will be playing live on Burn It Down! w/ Nate K. in the band's first visit to the station since 2006, and discussing its recently released LP, Expensive Air.

Friday, Sept 13, 7pm - 8pm
on Put The Needle On The Record with Billy Jam
Legendary NYC emcee Kurious, who burst on the scene in 1994 with his landmark debut album "A Constipated Monkey," is known to hip-hop fans for being both being one of the genre's most compelling lyricists as well as been a collaborator of the late great MF DOOM. In advance of his Mono En Stereo produced album "Majician" Kurious will stop by WFMU on Billy Jam's Put The Needle On The Record!
