Radio for the Church Community

Honcho is back from Normal, this time with another maniacally thorough radio show dedicated to Australia's The Church. He has been working his imaginary WEFT Press Pass, and procured exclusive interview footage as well as some possibly illegal bootleg recordings given the nod by the gentlemen of the Church.

Roky Erickson

On April 19, to celebrate both the triumphant release of the new Roky Erickson album and the announcement that Roky and Okkervil River would be performing at Urbana's Pygmalion Music Festival, Honcho from Normal took us on a tour of Roky's rich, twisted catalog.

Clientele and Songs About Weapons

Here are two MP3 uploads of recent broadcasts for your electronic audio pleasure.

15 February 2010: A show dedicated to the band the Clientele, starring Rock Honcho "Oscar" Anderson from the weird city of Normal.


5 April 2010: Songs about weapons. Guns, knives, bombs, nuclear warheads, and yes, one rocket launcher.

Radio Freestyle Anderson

Perhaps the best themes for shows are musical ideas that can't be put into words.

On a dark, frozen, dangerous snowy night, DJ J Anderson joined us for a night of lesbian vampire soundtrack weirdness that can only be surrendered to.

At the end you can hear a song performed live in the studio by Cara Maurizi on WEFT Sessions.

Banjology

Banjologist and Bookglutton CEO Travis Alber hosted our show last night, spinning independent rock featuring the banjo. The show was fun, but educational, but haunting, and yet homey.

Microtonal Radio

Andrew Heathwaite and Paul Kotheimer joined William Gillespie on Jay Eychaner and Jason Finkelman's experimental music show Fanfare for the Speeding Bullet, and they spent an hour explaining, discussing, playing, and performing microtonal music, with an emphasis on just intonation and equla divisions of the octave.

Cristy had a fun show with Gillian Marie Gabriel and friends. Read all about it at the blog of the wonderful Lindsey Markel.
