Today we spoke to WFMU DJ and one of the last great music blogspot writers, Darryl W. Bullock, about some of the awful Christmas music he's presented on his radio program and blog over the years. We play a few clips of some grating little nepo babies slurring their way through asinine lyrics about the moon, saccharine nonsense about Vietnam, and some just plain weird and funny little numbers. We'll be back after the holidays with our second part, in which we dive a little deeper into Darryl's record collecting but also his latest career as a historian of LGBT/Queer music history. Brandon didn't tell us about that, so we were just listening to his radio show, but were excited to learn about his books David Bowie Made Me Gay and Queer Blues: The Hidden Figures of Early Blues Music
Good Hello, Today we present part two of our talk with musician, radio playwright, zine maker, postcard sender, plunderphonicser, former centrist, and the host of WFMU's Mid-Valley Mutations, Dimestore Radio Theater, and occasional other programs, Austin Rich! We talked a little about his work at the beginning, but then the majority of this is just us talking about noise and other stuff we all like. I mean, mostly just us listening to him talk about stuff he likes that we occasionally recognize. He's just a fun dude to listen to. Gotta say, I wanna steal the limited decibel show idea he talked about and host those in my apartment. The opening track is from Postal Psounds III of Austin's, "Human Dinosaur - Dawn." If you wanna hear more, check out the archive of his regular programs, Mid-Valley Mutations and Dimestore Radio Theater. For more... just go to his website or patreon, it's all linked there. It'd take another 10,000 words just to write out all the projects.
Good Hello, Today we talked to musician, radio playwright, zine maker, postcard sender, plunderphonicser, former centrist, and the host of WFMU's Mid-Valley Mutations, Dimestore Radio Theater, and occasional other programs, Austin Rich! How he even has time to talk to us for a couple hours, I forgot to ask. We talk about all these things, his influences, more. I'm not even sure what to write about specifically. I'm not even sure why anyone would read this instead of listening. The opening track is from this Mini Mutation of Austin's, Open Season on the Rich.

And we’re back. For this episode of Transmissions, we’re joined by author, WFMU DJ, and historian of all things “heady,” Jesse Jarnow. His writing has been published by Relix, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times, and in addition to his beautifully written and deeply researched books, which include Big Day Coming: Yo La Tengo and the Rise of Indie Rock, Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America, and Wasn’t That a Time: The Weavers, the Blacklist, and the Battle for the Soul of America, Jarnow pens a recurring column for Aquarium Drunkard called Blanks and Postage, where he covers the intersection of psychedelics, art, and technology. His weekly WFMU program, The Frow Show, is an essential listen. With society in a state of monumental flux, it felt like the perfect time for Transmissions co-host Jason P. Woodbury to ring Jesse up to discuss the radical possibilities of the current moment, science fiction, various dystopian and utopian happenings, jam culture’s ahead of the curve embrace of live streaming tech, and his next book, which will document the alternate history of the recording industry via bootlegs and grey market releases.
To celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Dr. Albert Hofmann's first LSD trip we had writer/WFMU DJ/expert on psychedelia Jesse Jarnow come by and give us a history of LSD in the USA. And what a long, strange trip it's been. Jesse wrote THE book on psychedelics in America, Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America, so pick that up for an even deeper dive. Enjoy!

Then we dive into the archives and talk about the Grateful Dead in 1967. A formative year that, due to a spotty tape record, is somewhat mysterious.

Today it's conversation with writer, music journalist, WFMU DJ and record producer Kurt Gottschalk. Originally out of Illinois, Kurt's earned a masters at the Columbia School of Journalism in 1997. He has written about arts and politics for All About Jazz, Signal to Noise, Time Out-New York, The Village Voice, The Wire and publications in Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Portugal and Russia. He has twice been recognized for "best feature writing" by the Connecticut Society of Professional Journalist. He also has hosted the Miniature Minotaur radio show on WFMU. He's also the author of two works of fiction, LITTLE APPLES: A STORY CYCLE and SENTENCES. Kurt's cover story on guitarist Loren Connor is the cover story of the June 2016 issue of the British magazine The Wire. I became familiar with Kurt in the most modern of ways, a mutual Facebook friend neither of us really know saw our shared interests and recommended that we became Facebook friends. We both have avid interest in jazz music, 20th century rock and pop music and experimental sounds. We met for lunch about a year ago when Kurt was down from New York City for a Philadelphia trip and when we planned to meet up in early summer for a show from the Philadelphia chamber choir The Crossing I took the opportunity to sit Kurt down to record a conversation at the show kitchen table studio. We discuss Kurt's love of avant gardist Anthony Braxton as well as his record collecting roots, getting cheated by the Kiss Army, living in Chicago in the 90s, John Zorn's New York, Kurt's work with guitarist Loren Connors, the late Bernie Worrell and being visited by Prince in his dreams.
Cronuts! That's the leading story of this week's podcast. Cronuts are disgusting, and Julie tried one and got sick. But enough about her garbage body! This week, we welcome WFMU DJ and delightful human GAYLORD FIELDS, who talks to us about the difference between a writer and a person who writes, the time a silly woman assumed he was a jazz fan because of the color of his skin, what kind of people used to go to the Mudd Club, and how The Macarena affected him and America. Also--a fun cable guy told us the premise of SUITS, which we forgot right away! An appreciation of HOUSE OF CARDS starring Robin Wright and a skeptical glance toward the rise of Al Jazeera America! And Hollywood is making the male Laverne and Shirley, thank merciful Christ. A wonderful late-summer show for your ears and your earbuds!
