Time to Sell Some Organs, the WFMU Record Fair's in Town
If you're in, or can get to, the NYC area this weekend, do whatever you have to to get to the 2009 edition of the WFMU Record Fair. Sell your spleen, your sibling, your self-respect- hell, sell your soul - just be there.
Inducements are many: 10,000 sq. ft. of dealers, pizza, DJ petting zoo, amusements, cigarette girls, celebrity sightings, beer, you name it. But today we're gonna focus on the live music. God DAMN, there's been a lot of amazing live music over the years going on at the WFMU Record Fair. The FMA's here and happy to give you a (downloadable) preview of some of the artists we've got lined up for this year, as well as representatives of Record Fairs past (and undoubtedly future).
Among the acts performing live this year are Chris Brokaw, veteran of Codeine + Come + a thousand support & collab spots; WFMU's very own queen of media manipulation People Like Us; Jon Spencer's new rockabilly project Heavy Trash; and the ultra-dramatic (and unspeakably weird) new broadway-piano project from electronic cut-up superstar Kevin Blechdom; and more!
Continue reading for many hours of past live performances at the FMU record fair, and much music from artists who've performed there.
