#ShePersisted. A Tribute to Yoko Ono

On Wednesday, February 15, Bodega Pop Live on WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio celebrates the persistence of one of the most maligned yet influential pop figures of all time: Yoko Ono, who turns 84 on Saturday.

We'll hear collaborations with John Lennon from the sixties and seventies, ear-bending tracks from her solo albums (some still out of print, some recently reissued), samples, covers, and tributes from around the world.

Punk Ethnography

On Wednesday, February 8, from 7-10 PM ET, Bodega Pop Live on WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio celebrates some of the most influential and exciting proponents of so-called "world music 2.0."

Inspired by Michael E. Veal and E. Tammy Kim's recent collection of essays on the ethics vs. aesthetics of Sublime Frequencies, we'll spin tracks from the earliest Bishop-Mayet & Co. releases, along with tracks from pioneering collections by Parallel World, Yaala Yaala, Awesome Tapes from Africa, Sahel Sounds, Akuphone, PetPet's Tapes, and DJ /rupture.
