Listener comments!
Mike Sin:
Our pop-up archive player is working again, and archives also still work normally from our three mobile apps – “WFMU Radio” and the “WFMU Archive Bunker” in the Apple iTunes App Store, and the “Woof Moo Player” in the Google Play store.
Sorry for this outage! Our IT team is working round the clock trying to get things back to what passes as “normal” at WFMU.

I did see some group with the same name play at the Brighton Bar in 1997. Moe Tucker drummed for them.
