Coming up on #WFMU: live music from The Lotts and Logan Ledger on Todd-o-phonic Todd's show! (3pm EDT)
Bay Area musician Logan Ledger writes beautiful and stately songs. With roots in country, bluegrass and folk, Logan states that “I've always believed that in order to create something new with purpose, one must be steeped in the past and work from within the tradition.”
The Lotts hail from Warrington in The United Kingdom. The 4 piece combo plays a wild amalgamation of wild 60's garage and 70's punk that creates something uniquely their own.

Did some deep spelunking last night and found these photos of the AllScars playing live at a house in Central NJ around 25 years ago. I interviewed them later that night for what was supposed to be the 7th issue of my old zine (which never came out), but the feature finally found a home on the WFMU blog in 2007. You can read that here: https://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2007/06/all_scars_inter.html

In my view the best book ever written on radio -- its history, technology, cultural impact, and, finally it unique phenomenology -- is "Listening In" by Susan J. Douglas. PDF: www.worldradiohistory.com/BOOKSHELF-AR... Purchase: tinyurl.com/33ch6bbu #WFMU @wfmu.bsky.social
