Kind of an awesome mix of contemporary theater artists, radio freaks, archival work, amateur home recordings, historical avant-garde, and contemporary audio artists. Most FMU shows have lists way too long to absorb (as they've been playing music three hours a week for many years), but as we usually devote our hour to a single artist, our list is shorter and more manageable.

There are a number of artists I'd love to get on here: I have or am looking for lots of archival stuff from Allen Ginsburg, William Burroughs, Charles Bukowski, Gil Scott-Heron, James Joyce, Dennis Potter, Tom Stoppard, and Lydia Lunch, plus experimental music that borders on performance, like The Velvet Underground or Nurse With Wound. And show tunes or covers of show tunes by Sparks, Tom Waits, and Lotte Lenya. Plus I've got lots of non-musical material (interviews, radio ads, stage banter) from The Nazz, Lou Reed, Black Flag, and (hilariously) Paul Stanley of Kiss. Plus we've got loads of listener submissions, and someday I'd like to include The Wooster Group, Radiohole, Theater of the Two-Headed Calf, Young Jean Lee, Sybil Kempson, Mac Wellman, and Jeffrey M. Jones. And you, dear reader, you! Send me your mp3s!

I've also got some great tracks of Klaus Kinski's "Jesus Tour," though on the radio it just sounds like a madman screaming in German (which is, in fact, exactly what it is). And someday I'd like to do an entire show of mid-90's rap skits, if I can find ones that are clean enough. There's just too much good stuff out there!
