MESSAGE FROM SPORT CENTRAL
--SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT--
(for radio lovers and those of you who’d like to be Sport Murphy fans,
but can’t get past the terrible music he makes)
Sport will be featured, on a sporadic and unpredictable basis, within
IRWIN CHUSID’S program on WFMU. These prerecorded appearances will
inflict Sport’s jaundiced sociocultural observations upon Irwin’s elite
listenership, in tidy, semi-digestible chunks. In case you don’t know,
WFMU is a remarkable station; a free-range raptor gamboling amidst the
Jurassic jungle of corporate-owned, profit-obsessed radio. Irwin’s been
there for, like, 70 years, discovering skewed geniuses, reviving
forgotten masters, and providing wonder and profound amusement to
seekers of the strange and the sublime. He is the author of SONGS IN THE
KEY OF Z (an indispensable guide to the farthest reaches of pariah
music), he co-hosts the ever-astonishing semi-annual INCORRECT VIDEO
SHOW at NYC’s FEZ, And has produced numerous cds pertaining to Esquivel,
Raymond Scott, Ernie Kovacs, Joe Meek , and on and on.
Irwin has kindly invited Sport to participate in his broadcasts, and the
alleged fun begins on Wednesday, Sept 20. (the day after the official
release of MAGIC BEANS!) Irwin’s show runs from noon to 3 pm weekly, and
is steadfastly free-form, so who knows when the Sport Spiels will turn
up? You may as well listen in every week, for the whole fuckin’
duration. There are FAR WORSE things you could do to your ears. If you
can’t get WFMU in your area, NO SWEAT: all their programming is webcast
worldwide in real time… go here for info:

Once you’ve savored Sport’s spiels, you can flood the station with calls
and emails about how dearly you love them! Yeeee-Haaaaaw! Now, go buy
MAGIC BEANS! Whooooo-eeeeeee!!
