Potty-Mouthed Partisans - by Brian Turner
When UK punk legends the Partisans spilled drunkenly into
WFMU, the first thing the singer said to Music and Program Director Brian
Turner was "oo the fuck are you and where's the fucking loo?"
Over
the next several hours, DJ Diane Kamikaze tried to cajole some kind of performance
from them, and unfortunately failed. Between outbursts about George Bush being
a c**t, half-slurred demands for band members to get their acts together, and
about 78 aborted song attempts, Diane pretty much chalked up the
expletive-laden session as unairable.
Brian released some of the between-song
banter on his Marathon premium, as it was too amazing to let pass into history
without some sort of documentation. To this day, Brian still greets fellow
WFMU-staffers in the morning with "oo are you and where's the
fucking loo?"

expletive fest here.

What happened to Great Moments in WFMU History #13 ?
That was the story about the guitarist who exhibited a keen interest in LPs at WFMU's record library. The story was posted on March 20th but all that now remains of WFMU History #13 is this fine illustration by Robert Piersanti - http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/images/2008/03/05/14_fahey_piersanti.jpg
Is there any chance of a Great Moments in WFMU History about Damo Suzuki's appearance at WFMU’s Spring ‘02 Record Fair?
