The Eiderdown Turnstile differed from "Radio Free Living Room" and "Off The Beaten Path" in that we didn't concentrate on just current releases, we played stuff from the 60s and 70s as well. We started out with the self-imposed format, (old and new) psychedelia and hardcore, and branched out from there, eventually (occasionally) featuring heavy metal, old-time country music, rap and R&B and funk and blues, reggae and ska, and noise and nihilism. It used to be called ‘free form’ radio, where the format was totally open to any musical genre, you don’t see it that much anymore, formats have become more restricted (even at listener sponsored radio stations) because there’s more fundraising dollars there. So we worked at WMNF for about 10 years overall, and worked with a lot of great people, and hoped to eventually get moved to a more accessible shift, even as our musical tastes became more obscure. We were on late Monday night, midnight to 3am, eventually changed to 11pm-2am. And it was never the same after Craig moved to Orlando, so I kept it going for a while (with John Barsdis and Sean Jerkins’ help), and then eventually called it a career in the early 90s. And it was at this time that we first started interviewing musicians, Plan 9, Sonic Youth, fIREHOSE, Butthole Surfers, Camper Van Beethoven, Spot 1019, Eugene Chadbourne, and Moe Tucker. And we did our best to give a boost to the local scene, playing Charlie Pickett, Psycho Daisies, Voodoo Idols, U-Boats, Monday Mornings, Grassy Knoll Gunmen, Immediates, Strange Agents, Pariah and others. The Eiderdown Turnstile would like to thank WMNF program director Randy Wind, Tony Orr, Tony Cona, Bill Hamilton, Rob Lorei, Cam Hendrix, Michael Mainguth, MC Kostek for the shout-out in CMJ, the late great Kenny K, and everybody who listened. - Jeff Schwier/the 561/1-6-14 .

Eric Moss was the host. Florida music archivist Jeff Lemlich recorded some of the programs, and was kind enough to allow Mike Hooker to transfer and convert his 30-year-old cassettes. Mike Hooker passed them on to us. Sound quality is only so-so, but there’s lots of obscurities you maybe never heard before. .
