Reddit reviews Songs in the Key of Z

I picked up both volumes at an estate sale a while back. Another good book is Songs in the Key of Z, the Amazon page for which predictably shows the REsearch books as similar items.

WFMU out of Jersey City, NJ is a great freeform station that streams every show live and has a comments board. They're guaranteed to play stuff you've never heard before and they cover every genre you can imagine with tons of DJ's. Spin Age Blasters with Creamo Coyl is my favorite show. It's great for New Wave/Punk/Oddball stuff and he always plays a few 2017 cuts. Transpacific Sound Paradise is great for World Music, Sophisticated Boom Boom (on today at 3pm EST) is 3 hours a week of Girl Pop and it's incredible, and DJ Irwin Chusid literally wrote a book about Outsider music. All the DJ's are super cool and knowledgeable and there's even a couple talk shows (Goddamn Dave Hill Show/Frangry and Michele/7 Second Delay) that are hilarious for when you just wanna hear some conversation.

This page shows you the program schedule and all the DJ's. You can click on their names for more info and to see what songs they've played in past shows. For what you're looking for I'd suggest Three Chord Monty on Mondays and Samantha on Saturdays. You really can't go wrong though and you'll quickly find that WFMU is much more than a radio station, it's a culture. People from all over the world call in when they do call-in shows and it's a nice little community. Hope you get involved!!
