Borful Tang session on DO or DIY

Wednesday 4th August on WFMUat 7pm NY time

A beacon of light transmitted from his hermetic dwelling in Oakland, California, Borful Tang is proud to bring a gaggle of exclusive new material to the DO Or DIY show. With the help of producer/engineer Dominic Cramp (Evangelista, Vulcanus 68, Qulfus) Mr. Tang has crafted a handful of short narrative pieces compromised of nuggets from his vast vault of found sounds: a news report on the Commodore 64; a warped skipping Jesus record for children; an Austrian synth demonstration DVD; the Sapphire and Steele box set! It is all source material for this fiendish cut-up specialist. And all of it set to a musical interplay that puts him in a class all his own. These pieces are also in support and celebration of Borful Tang’s latest, release, Herd and Unherd, out now on Gigante Sound.

Osymyso session on DO or DIY with People Like Us

Osymyso session on DO or DIY with People Like Us
Wednesday, July 21st, 7pm – 8pm

“I have to say, I’m not very good at writing about myself or my stuff. Am I supposed to do it in the 3rd person? Who knows. Here’s a paragraph for you. Feel free to change it, reduce it, expand on it or ask me to come up with something else entirely. There’s no theory or deep thought gone into this mix, to be honest I was just happy to be doing my own thing for once so it’s just unadulterated nonsense really.” – Osymyso

New DO or DIY Stream on WFMU!!!

NEW DO OR DIY STREAM
http://do-or-diy.wfmu.org/listen.pls

It’s the beginning of the WFMU 2010 Fundraising Marathon, and to coincide with this we are very pleased to announce that People Like Us’ radio show DO or DIY is now not only a regular radio show and podcast, but we now have our own 24 HOUR DO or DIY Stream on WFMU! Yes indeed – DO or DIY is available all day, every day. 24 hours of All Things Avant Retard.

You can listen to the stream through iTunes, by clicking here
– it will download a file that you can then click on to play the stream.
You can also find the DO or DIY stream through the front page of the WFMU website, alongside the Ubu and Ichiban streams.

NEW FREE WFMU iPHONE APP!!!
Also, if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch we are also pleased to announce that you can listen to not only the regular WFMU stream on the move at a glorious 128k, but also all of our special streams, recent DJ show archives and DJ podcasts including all of DO or DIY!
You can download the much improved updated free WFMU app right here.

IT’S THE WFMU 2010 MARATHON, TIME TO GIVE!
Have you ever listened to WFMU? Did you know it’s listener sponsored? Did you also know that only 3-5 per cent of regular listeners ever give anything back? Time to change that. We give a lot – if you like it please support us. 15 dollars or more and we’ll go away and get on with it again.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION IF WE ARE CONFUSING YOU
To listen to the stream on your computer all you need to do is open iTunes, and paste this stream address (much like you would any other stream) by going to Advanced/Open Audio stream – paste this:
http://do-or-diy.wfmu.org/listen.pls

Alternatively, if you just click on the link above it will do the same for you anyway by downloading you a small file that you can click on to open up the stream in iTunes.
