Fillin the big shoes of Mark Greene

Last show of the year today, and we (who’m I kidding with the royal “we”... like there’s a big crew getting this puppy to air. This holiday party is me, playing tunes for you guys) and I’ll finish what I started last show — my personal Pazz & Jop* — playing my favorites of 2017. Last week I played Carolyn Wonderland, Aimee Mann, Rhiannon Giddens, Father John Misty, Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile, Spoon... This week? Nothing but Humperdinck.

OK, that’s a lie. Listen and see. But Son Little is in there, because I’m somewhat obsessed. The Mavericks. Also: music by some wonderful people we lost in 2017. And only one "Christmas" song (of a sort), but I’ve got a reason.

* Sigh. You could’ve googled it, young person who asked, but it was the end of year musical “Best Of” compiled and published (on paper!) in The Village Voice.

What?!

Pazz & Jop? It was a spoonerism of Jazz & Pop.
Huh?? Oh, It was a counter-cultural newsp... just Google it. Happy New Year. We deserve it.

Hosted by George Rudolph this week's show features jazz and R&B arrangements of traditional Christmas Music.

Listen To The Flower People!

DJ Kibret Neguse is joined by WUSB alumni Zman to play Kibret's top reggae songs for 2017!

year end tribute to artists we have lost... interview with Todd Rundgren ! I even get him to shout out to my MOM :)

Oh cum all ye faithful listeners to a special edition of The "In" Crowd. A Heretic's Christmas. 3 fun filled hours of pure naughtiness to get you in the holiday spirit. You'll hear some classic XMAS tunes from the likes of Filthy Elvis, UK Subs, Deer Tick and many more. For good measure, we'll also be celebrating the birth of another savior, Frank Zappa who would have been turning 77 years old. If you could sacrifice a few hours (or minutes) of your precious time, the promise of my eternal gratitude is yours. Peace.
