The New York Times profiles Jersey City’s WFMU in “Put the Radio On”.”
“Hands down, WFMU is the greatest radio station on the planet.†–Jim Jarmusch
“This is the kind of place that shouldn’t exist but somehow does.†–WFMU DJ Tom Scharpling
There’s some priceless airchecks (left column of the NYT article), including “How to Be a WFMU Disc Jockey,” “Death-Defying Radio Stunts: Harassing Toll Booth Attendants” and this many Louie-Louie mashup from “Music to Spazz by” (5:32 mp3):
The WFMU spoofing the toll collectors bit is one of my favorite recent pieces of live radio. Thank god somebody recorded it.
