Thirty Eight September Songs


09.1.11

WFMU is hosting downloadable mp3s of thirty eight versions of September Song. Of course, the hands-down favorite is the James Brown version.

WFMU is new to me. Here’s a brief statement about their programming:

WFMU’s programming ranges from flat-out uncategorizable strangeness to rock and roll, experimental music, 78 RPM Records, jazz, psychedelia, hip-hop, electronica, hand-cranked wax cylinders, punk rock, gospel, exotica, R&B, radio improvisation, cooking instructions, classic radio airchecks, found sound, dopey call-in shows, interviews with obscure radio personalities and notable science-world luminaries, spoken word collages, Andrew Lloyd Webber soundtracks in languages other than English as well as Country and western music.
