WFMU: A Bunch of Vinyl Fetishists! [record fair this wkend]

Go figure: people who love free digital music also love buying records. Vinyl, CDs, cassettes... there is an aura to these sound-carrying that doesn't always get across in a .ZIP.

WFMU is coming out as a bunch of vinyl-fetishists this week. We're in the midst of "Singles Going Steady," where DJs celebrate those 'lil records w/ the big holes by spinning 7-inches for the entire week. And it's all leading up to the WFMU Record Fair this weekend (October 22nd - 24th) at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan.

The WFMU Record Fair is one of the world's finest, with over 200 dealers, plus bands, movie screenings, and of course live WFMU radio broadcasts.

This year's musical acts include:

- Prince Rama: Sat, 12:45pm
- The Hamburglars: Sat, 3:30pm
- Ted Leo: Sat 4:30pm
- Butts: Sun, 2pm
- Fabulous Diamonds: Sun, 4pm
- plus Tom Carter of Charalambides, Dan Friel of Parts & Labor, and Nelson's Electric Chaircuts.

 

There'll also be sweet audio-visuals in the A / V Lounge:
:: Teen A Go Go  ::  Bedazzled.tv's Medley Mania  ::  The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia  ::  The Weird World of Blowfly, plus Q&A with the director  ::  Hausu (House)

If you can't make it in-person on such short notice, you can tune in to live broadcasts from the fair (including live music!) -- details at wfmu.org

And/or relive the past through 2008's most memorable performances by Monotonix and DMBQ.

See you at the Fair!
