WFMU

WFMU’s website broke on July 3rd, and remains partially broken now.

Please go to this address in order to reach WFMU’s live streams and playlist and chat pages: freeform.wfmu.org Our pop-up archive player is working again, and archives also still work from our three mobile apps – “WFMU Radio” and the “WFMU Archive Bunker” in the Apple iTunes App Store, and the “Woof Moo Player” in the Google Play store. Sorry for this outage! Our IT team is working round the clock trying to get things back to what passes as “normal” at WFMU.

New Summer Swag in the WFMU Online Store

Be cool around the pool this summer in some new WFMU summer swag! We have several new designs exclusive to the store, including the Unwound T in men’s and women’s sizes, the Shirt Music T, and the Gold Blob cap in two logo colors. Plus, we’ve added a whole bunch of other swag that has never before been in the store, including bucket hats, tote bags, sunglasses, and pins. Have a gander at everything we’ve got in the store here.

“Gowanus Current” at Monty Hall

On Thursday, July 10th, WFMU Movie Night presents Gowanus Current, a documentary about pollution, people, and real estate on the most toxic 1.8 miles of water in America. Made over the course of 10 years, this urgent film explores the conflict engendered by a housing crisis, income inequality, and a changing climate. Following the screening, Brian D. of Currents will interview directors and producers James Courville and Chris Reynolds. Doors at 6:30pm, film at 7pm. Get your tickets at the door or buy in advance here.

Remembering Brian Wilson

On June 11th, the passing of Brian Wilson, the architect of the Beach Boys‘ sound and one of the most admired and influential figures in pop music history, inspired many WFMU DJs to pay tribute. The first show to announce the news was Nazario Scenario; afterwards, several DJs devoted large portions of their entire shows to remembering Mr. Wilson, including Dave the Spazz (who also highlighted Sly Stone, with special guests Dennis Diken and DA the DJ), Explorer’s Room, Acid Jazz Hands, Burn It Down!, Michael Shelley, Joe Belock (who mounted two specials, one on Three Chord Monte and a second on Shakin’ Street), and many more: Tony Coulter, The Frow Show, Where the Action Is, Big Planet Noise (also featuring Sly Stone), Bob Brainen, Irene Trudel, both the Orange Peel Boutique and Orange Peel Hour, Ken, and Cherry Blossom Clinic. Many other DJs played a few songs, so check out the archives between June 11th and June 18th for even more remembrances of the man whose recorded legacy represents such a rich vein of American music.

Marathon Swag Is A-Comin’

Some of you have received your swag by now, but there are a bunch of you that we still need to get to. The biggest packages sometimes take the longest to get out the door, but they do always taste the sweetest. If you haven’t received yours yet, hang in there a bit longer, we’re a tiny operation chuggin’ along. It should be on its way soon! Should you have any questions about your pledge, feel free to drop Listener Services Director Joe McGasko an e-mail at: pledge@wfmu.org.
