RIDDING THE MIND OF WASTE
Out on Long Island there happens to be a wonderful college radio station, there to rescue those seeking alternative airwaves. WUSB is SUNY Stony Brook's station, 90.1 FM, and every other Saturday night/Sunday morning they broadcast an amazing show, "Ridding the Mind of Waste." The show's DJs play primarily electronic and industrial songs, but often mix in humorous, creative audio montages and samples that they seem to put together. The DJ who speaks does so with a parody of a smarmy Oldies station host and refers to himself as "Tommy Edwards, filling in for 58 and Barney," though several years ago I remember him calling himself "58 filling in for Barney."

So the mysteries run deep. Please leave a comment if you have any information about these amazing fellows. You can listen to the show from anywhere through WUSB's website: WUSB.FM .

In my college years I, too, was a DJ, and made a number of station IDs and montages to keep the vibes going, loosely inspired by "Ridding the Mind of Waste." You can listen to some of mine: Takotron Sounds
