Recent On-Air Guests

Why are folks from the mod/rocker/rhymer/outsider A-lists battling for parking spots in Jersey City? It’s certainly not the scrumptious chromium-laden soil. If you were unawares, WFMU regularly hosts live performances and interviews from a rotating line-up of underground all-stars. Check out these recent appearances (below), or delve into our special archives page to peruse our list of studio guests from the more distant past.
