WFMU-FM 91.1, New Jersey

Bill T., A good friend of mine who worked with me at KCSB-FM in the 1980's, recently wrote:

"I am currently listening to my favorite station of the past few years, WFMU in New Jersey. It is as open-minded as radio gets in my opinion. In fact, while listening at work, one of my co-workers asked me 'what the hell are you listening to?' My reply was that I didn't know, and honestly didn't care as long as I'd never heard it before.

"Once a music junkie always a music junkie I guess..."

"Deja Vu" by John Fogerty

John Fogarty's has his first musical release out in 7 years. Here's the NPR interview:

NPR : It's 'Deja Vu' for John Fogerty

The title track "Deja Vu (All Over Again)" is one of my current favorite songs. There's a link to the whole song at NPR, under their "All Songs Considered" section. Here are the lyrics:

DEJA VU (ALL OVER AGAIN)

Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Did you try to read the writing on the wall
Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
It's like Deja Vu all over again

Day by day I hear the voices rising
Started with a whisper like it did before
Day by day we count the dead and dying
Ship the bodies home while the networks all keep score

Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Could your eyes believe the writing on the wall
Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
It's like Deja Vu all over again

One by one I see the old ghosts rising
Stumblin' 'cross Big Muddy
Where the light gets dim
Day after day another Momma's crying
She's lost her precious child
To a war that has no end

Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Did you stop to read the writing at The Wall
Did that voice inside you say
I've seen this all before
It's like Deja Vu all over again
It's like Deja Vu all over again

The Clash: "London Calling," 1979

Los Angeles quasi-freeform stations KMET and KLOS had problems playing The Clash and The Police, not knowing what to do with them at first. Up in Santa Barbara, at KTYD-FM, we had no problem slapping them on immediately. Of course, the college stations like the University of California at Santa Barbara's KCSB-FM devoured the stuff...

Bill Ashford on KFML

Was just trading some KFML memories with T, at the FreeFormRadio Forum. He jarred some Bill Ashford memories and I went looking for him on the web. One spot I haven't seen before starts off like this:

"Convinced as a child that real people lived inside his family's console radio, Ashford was destined for a life in music and broadcasting..."
