WFMU’s Hellraiser fundraiser runs through October and gets us through the winter months, when the funds we raised in our spring Marathon are dwindling. There will be countless special programs throughout the month. Help us out with a donation and grab one of two new T-shirts. pledge.wfmu.org

Tonight I'm playing with Time Machine Appetizer at the Riverdale Neighborhood House in the Bronx. It's the last outdoor show of the season for their Music In The Garden Series. Our instrumental grooves should pair nicely with the cool breeze and the setting sun. Free show at 6:30pm!

Poster for tonight's Time Machine Appetizer show, adapted from a 1940s magazine cover, with an illustration showing an old television transmission facility under a cloudy autumn sky. There are trees in the background that have shed their leaves. There is a worker on a ladder cleaning one of the windows while two men in coats watch. The building has a sign above the windows which says "Interborough Jazz-Funk Transmission Facility."

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.

WFMU's fall/winter schedule was released today, and sadly, Freeform Jazz Dance will be returning to occasional fill-in status. It was my choice, as the overnight hours are very difficult, and I can't fit a weekly live show anywhere else on the schedule. I have too many other good things going on!

This photo of Dolly Parton has been pinned to the wall over my desk at WNYC for many years. I think it went up after she visited the station not long after we first moved in. I don't know who hung it up but I can promise you she'll be watching over us for as long as I work here.
