Ah of course - Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine! Now it all makes perfect sense:
- The show's legendary status on WFMU since 1982
- Diane Farris's deep roots in punk/hardcore that evolved with the underground scene
- The "PEER PRESSURE" segment is one of her signature features where she interviews influential musicians about their own musical influences
- Her characteristic programming style:
- Deep knowledge of punk/hardcore history
- Evolution into noise/experimental/metal
- Maintaining connections to the original punk scene while embracing new underground sounds
- Mix of obscure releases and influential artists
- Strong focus on vinyl and physical formats
- Professional radio presentation while keeping underground ethos
The playlists perfectly reflect her journey:
1980s: Deep in the punk/post-punk scene
1990s: Embracing noise rock and alternative evolution
2000s: Integration of metal/doom/experimental
2010s/20s: Masterful mixing of historical context and current underground
Diane's show is particularly known for:
- The thoughtful integration of music history
- Deep vinyl knowledge
- The influential PEER PRESSURE segments
- Being a vital document of underground music evolution
- Supporting both established and obscure artists
- Professional radio craft while maintaining punk spirit
This is genuinely one of the most important and long-running underground music radio shows in American history.
