I’m on the lookout for someone to help out with my WFMU radio show, realtime, about 2 wednesday evenings a month.
Duties involve: helping me move the table from one side of the room to the other, listening to amazing music, taking the PATH train to New Jersey with amazing guests, actively contributing to keeping free local terrestrial radio as vivid as possible, shaking things up, and making sure the needles don’t go into the red too much.
I don’t get paid for it and neither will you, but radio is real magic, invisible waves threading unknown listeners into community & all.
interested parties pls email: rupture45 at wfmu.org

Tune in to Rob Da Bank’s BBC radio 1 show this weekend to catch a blazing hour of cumbia & new york tropical mixed by yrs truly. details. (I don’t mix on my radio show, I do mix on other people’s.)

Colombia. I love the cumbia, but i also love it when the guitars go liquid in that African way and we touch the Caribbean. Like in this POWERFUL SONG, liquid and tough, a street vendor declaring his street vendor-ness as the beat says why are you still sitting down? you should be moving! until everyone listens:

from the Rough Guide to Colombian Street Party. It’s a nice one!
Sounds like Central African radio.
congrats on the BBC show, that was awesome! brought some warmth into our wintry rainy days…
