WFMU will broadcast live from
The Detroit Breakdown: Ponderosa Stomp at Lincoln
Center Out Of Doors. Please tune in on Saturday, 7/31, for an
x-tra-long installment of
Fool's Paradise with
Rex from 1 to 6 PM -- we plan to air sets from such soul, blues and
R&B heavies as Dennis Coffey, Eddie "The Grunt" Kirkland, Melvin
Davis and Spyder Turner, the Velvelettes, and more! Or you can come and
stop by the WFMU table during the actual real-life festival. Music
experts Rex, Dave the Spazz, Gaylord Fields, and Mr. Finewine will be on
hand with interviews and genius commentary.

By
the time you read this, Bob W. will
have hosted SUUNS (formerly Zeroes) on Monday morning 7/26 from 9
AM to noon. Check his archive to hear the live session by this Montreal
post-punk/art rock group, whose album is coming soon on the Secretly
Canadian label although they are not especially shy about their
Canadian-ness. SUUNS also have an EP available for free.

Late
Monday night/Tuesday morning, Noah welcomes back Renaissance-man DJ,
rapper, record label owner, and producer Thanksgiving
Brown for audio treats and banter. His MySpace confirms he's a name
of recollection, for those dedicated to the art of movin' butts -- join
Noah and him on Coffee Break for Heroes & Villains Tuesday 7/27
from midnight to 3 AM.

Wm.
Berger's guest this week is Anthony Mangicapra of the noise project Hoor-Paar-Kraat,
which since 2001 has drawn upon the "well-developed dark side, Pagan
nature, and penchant for making your skin crawl" (Wm.'s astute words) of
this otherwise-amiable painter and draughtsman. Hear Anthony bring a
uniquely eerie performance to the air on Wm. Berger
presents My Castle of Quiet, Friday 7/30 (Thursday night) from
midnight to 3 AM.

.
.
And
on Transpacific
Sound Paradise, there will be live music from Portland, OR's Vagabond
Opera -- the Pacific Northwest's answer to Bohemian cabaret. Catch
them at Brooklyn's Kingsborough Community College bandshell on Saturday
the 31st, or at Joe's Pub on Sunday August 1st, to see the spectacle...
listen to Rob's show Saturday 7/31, from 6 to 9 PM, to hear it.

If
you're a playlist-comment-reader like me, you may have noticed that the
overnight shows garner especially good comments. I was happy with this recent exchange by Bennett4Senate and friends
on Awesome New Place, which is on on Thursday mornings from 3 to 6 AM.
Bennett also had guest DJ Ghostdad on last week, who played a great set,
and here is that show.
