SCOTTSO's Rocks-Glass Rules

Retro SCOTTSO's Things From Indie.

Rumor's abound. "Things From Indie," Retro SCOTTSO's showcase of up and coming talent, used to be called something else back in the early days of FM. Really? We queried the Professor. Is there truth in all the nerdly background chatter burbling through internet forums? Was there an earlier title for his popular programming segment? And does FM really stand for Fermentationem Maxumus? He replied to the latter without hesitation, in his characteristic gravel-tone: "In some circles, yes, the Latin, referring to the peak fermentation of grain mash used in the distillation of whiskey." Well, the editorial staff of this blog were taken aback. Then, before we could formulate a follow-up question, even before the clink of an ice cube in SCOTTSO's crystal rocks-glass, he added: "Now cut yer 'hookey dookey' on the job.... We got great music to feature on Things From Indie!"

Indeed! Ignore the rumor mill. Click and get hip.

Vin's Your Sonic Sommelier

KLW Program Director and overnight disc jockey Vin CYCLONE: Your sonic sommelier, only, on the KILLERWATT.

Vin CYCLONE returns to the platinum KILLERWATT microphone armed with his funky corkscrew and disco decanter. Ready to refine your musical palate? Perhaps you're only in it for the party?

Fair enough. Let the tasting begin. We'll go from delightfully ridiculous grape ... to sublime boutique vintages, cultivated in the most surprising maritime microclimate ...  along the viscous shores of the Gowanus Canal. Cin cin!

SCOTTSO Kisses the Wrong Microphone

SCOTTSO caught a touch of COVID from kissing the wrong microphone. But you can't keep an old jock down. To wit, he's pictured roaming KLW's snowy antenna range in long johns and a passé mask. How KILLERWATT Engineer Ed "Fitz" Fitzgerald kept a grip on SCOTTSO's cocktail, his own, plus KLW's Rolleiflex camera ... in frigid conditions ... well, let's just say our old school Engineering department knows how to juggle big transmitters and half-in-the-bag talent. The Professor was safely returned to SCOTTSO Memorial Studio A and is ready to spin. Sure, he sounds EXTRA croaky, but that never stopped him before. Plus an all new Things From Indie. Click and play.

NOEL Blows Your Hair Back

NOEL in his milieu.

NOEL jumps the red-eye to JFK then hijacks a piano cartage truck back to Signal Hill. He's between legs of multiple tours and antsy to DJ. For the next two hours, you got a busy sound-man at KILLERWATT's controls, dominating NYC's airwaves like a boss jock should. Expect nothing less than a musical epiphany.

Click the player and get your hair blown back.

Reports of a Steinway floating in the Gowanus are greatly exaggerated. It's actually a Bosendorfer!
