A Tribute To The Hag (MP3s)
The amazing and multifaceted Merle Haggard will celebrate his 75th birthday on Friday, so I thought the time was right to pay tribute to him by sharing a quartet of tribute discs. Merle's been a little under the weather recently, as you likely know. In January, he spent several days in ...
but don't tell anyone.

DJ DJ, Quite Contrary: Kurt Gottschalk on Making Miniature Minotaurs
Every program on WFMU is a unique mixture of loam and silt, manure and peat, each lovingly tended to to bring the finest harvest of ephemera, flotsam and mixed metaphor that can be guaranteed. In this installment Kurt Gottschalk explains what makes his garden grow. It's not like I don't have en...
ah, bodega... you catch me a funny mood, somewhere between pensively nostalgic and bored after seeing cheap trick play five songs (four mediocre, one rockin') before being called for rain. it's giving me this strange feeling, as if i want to be ... genuine? sincere? direct? it's all so ... unfamiliar ... but yes, i tend to be facetious as fudge (at least on the air) and i do enjoy acting as if things that are kinda true are really totally true. or put another way, yeah, i take requests sometimes.

At The MET- Guitar Heroes Exhibit
Currently there is an exhibit entitled "Guitar Heroes" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It runs through July 4th, and if you have any thought about a music exhibit "fitting in" to the premise of an art museum, think again. The show is put together with the utmost detail, and my accompanying ph...
interesting. thanks.

The Top 10 Records in My Collection I Don't Know What Are
For my top of the pops 2010 list I had planned to post the Top 10 records in my collection I don't know what are: a grand idea difficulticized by the fact that I also, then, don't know where to file them (or more pointedly, where I might have decided to file them at some point in the past). So i...
eh, maybe so then. i saw "get low" last night. quite good. about a guy who plans his funeral before he's dead because he wants to attend. pretty much the opposite of a zombie movie. you might try that instead.
or, you know, stay home and listen to wfmu!

Fall Tips for Fashionable Zombie Hunters
Nobody’s ever complained that zombie movies are too realistic. And they’ve probably never really been criticized for not being realistic enough, either. But a couple of recent independent pictures, taking George Romero as spiritual godfather and Sean of the Dead as role model, have presented abo...
bartelby - if you get a chance, check "make out with violence." it's intense to see a zombie movie that isn't trying to be scary.

hey dark -
yeah, there's a scene in notl where there are experts on tv arguing about the cause of the dead coming back to life, and the satellite thing is one of them. my favorite speculation, though, is the famous line from the second movie "dawn of the dead": "where there's no room left in hell, the dead shall walk the earth.

Oh, man. Right. Jerry Lawler. I should know better than to trust my memory on anything other than two or three '70s punk bands from Britain. Thanks. And awesome that you got to see him. I wish I would have. (But then, maybe I did and I just don't remember.)

The Kaufman's Dead (Long Live Andy)
Reading the account of Bryce's meeting, or near meeting, or fictive meeting with Andy Kaufman in Weird NJ (the story's not online, unfortunately, you have to buy the hard copy) just reminded me of the genius of Kaufman's hoaxes. Most people who read the story of the press conference Bryce wa...
