All the blues all the time. An antidote to the moribund, corny and/or humorless blues programming generally found on the radio.

Hello Matt and fellow listeners. I think another dj say last week that this is the first WFMU show specifically dedicated to blues. Is that true? Seems almost unbelievable but I can't think of another.

Matt Fiveash:

Hi everyone. Andrew, as far as I know that's true!

Well congratulations then :) Of course the genre is well represented here but I think a show devoted to the genre is a very welcome addition. Havent missed a show yet ;)

The Friday night blues DJ on WVKR up here does a fine MLK tribute each year. He played a Dick Cavett interview of Dr. King the other night.

Andrew S:

Can't top this but a version I've always enjoyed of green onions is by Milt Buckner where he grunts throughout the song and celbrates the oniions making his belly "stick right out"

Andy the painter:

well said, matt; re: MLK. his later speeches and writings are revelations, if just in providing a more complete picture.
thanks for the show!

Attention WFMU shoppers!

I'm back with today's public service message. On this playlist you'll now see a link to the 128 AAC stream we've had up quietly for a number of months, but which is now advertised prominently on KDB-generated playlist pages thanks to our friend Kenzo.

If your streamy player (hint: VLC is a good one if you don't already have a favorite) supports AAC, I recommend using this 128k AAC stream instead of the 128k MP3 one. Same bandwidth use, but I think the AAC stream is somewhere between a little and a lot better sounding depending on the music.

MP3 particularly sucks when hit with record surface noise, and you may have noticed that WFMU DJs sometimes play vinyl.

Enjoy!

Andrew S:

was so lucky to see Gil before he passed. It was a free show and I didnt realise it was torrential rain because i was under the overhang. He was late one hour for border hassles (had a bit of a history with the law), But his band kept us all enthralled til he got there. What a showman, tellse stories like hes talking right to you. Would have been easy for him to not bother showing up. When it was over and I turned around, there were only maybe 3 dozen people there.

The first I heard the Blues was when I heard Leadbelly
