Some archives from Daniel Burke's time at WZRD are now audible at WFMU, 8 hours worth, from 1988!

update

ok its been over a year since anything was added to this blog.
Just stoping in here to let you know I've contacted some former Wizards and they have agreed to share some archves of shows from long ago. I have another dj set too (about 4 hours that will be up here too from like the early 2000's ) stay tuned ........ still might take some time but it will get here.

News to Me

It looks like WZRD is cultivating an online presence of their own. It's about time! Note that scheduled Thursday Night live performances are posted there (including Illusion of Safety coming up), as well as reviews, and it looks like they're digitizing old reels of performances, particularly that of Jesus Lizard, who is playing here in Chicago in November.
