Afghan Whigs

2pm
Don Harrison
Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and the Monkees

Timothy Leary maintained that the often-reviled Monkees functioned as moles for the 60's counterculture, and everyone from the Sex Pistols to Run DMC has paid tribute to the great songs the "band" left in their teen idol wake. Now, with this show, Dobolina Don and the Wowsville crew will make daydream believers out of all who doubt the cultural importance, and occasional musical brilliance, of Mike, Micky, Davy and Peter. Tune in and find out why the world has been bettered by Liquid Paper, music videos and country rock, and hear two hours of the Pre-Fab Four in all their archival glory.

White Light/White Heat -- The Velvet Underground

Almost none of the bands we play regularly on WTJU would exist if not for the Velvet Underground. What other band can boast Lou Reed, an icy Nordic chanteuse, and an adrogynous female drummer who played a mean tom-tom? What other band was responsible for both "Pale Blue Eyes" and "Sister Ray"? What other band had a peelable banana designed by Andy Warhol on its first cover? The V.U. is some kind of rock'n'roll Rosetta Stone. Join Jeff for two hours' of their brightest, darkest, and most bizarre. For the right price, we might play the 27-minute version of "Sister Ray" recorded through Lou Reed's guitar amp like we did last year....

Matt Reynolds
Non-Commercial Commercial Music

3am
Andy Miller
New New York vs No New York

Do they have anything in common? The Lower East Side catch-all of noisy, performance-centered rock from the avant-garde, now over 20 years old... And the current hype centered more in Brooklyn, some of it inspired by the same post-punk bug and some of it totally fashionable (some of it both). Do you claim novelty or mere NowNess? On one side we have DNA, the Swans, Lydia Lunch, James Chance, Suicide, ESG, Liquid Liquid... on the other we have the Liars, the Rapture, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, Black Dice, the Ex Models...and dare I mention the S(trokes) word?

Professor Bebop
The Rolling Stones

They drew their name from a Muddy Waters' classic, embellished classic Chuck Berry guitar riffs, and created lyrics with enough attitude to convince the world that the nasty side of rock & roll music had renewed its quest for the souls of its young.

11pm
Tim Ballo
How the Northwest Was Won

In the mid-sixties, the Sonics, the Wailers, and a host of other groups created a sound unique to the Pacific Northwest. Equal parts voice-shredding screams, overdiven guitars, and annihilated drums, this primitive assault formed the primordial soup from which punk rock was to emerge.

Electroclash

After Bowie and Eno did Low, punk culture briefly gave the synthesizer a warm home. Gary Numan, The Future, and Suicide, had dark electro visions before Bela Lugosi was even born. 25 years later and new artists are embracing the punk possibilities of computers while mixing in their generational bias towards dance and vulgarity. This party's packed with Fischerspooner, The Faint, Ladytron, and Chicks on Speed--Peaches and Miss Kittin promise to be on good behavior throughout the broadcast.
