well, the bummer news is that william tyler had to cancel, but the opposite-of-bummer news is that a truly wig-flipping replacement has consented to blow our minds instead. come to @mamatriedbk.bsky.social tomorrow, peel slowly, & see! plus our pal ted barron's spinning 45s all night.
the frow show returns! emitting new music & decent-as-possible vibrations from now 'til midnight ET on listener-supported @wfmu.bsky.social, with an extended tribute to the late great doug shaw at around 10ish. wfmu.org/playlists/JJ...
