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!"

Aircheck tapes of KLW have surfaced made by a listener from Battle Creek Michigan on July 13, 1977, "The Blackout of 1977." The radio hobbyist's recording documents the KILLERWATT cobbling together an emergency studio at the generator powered transmitter site on Signal Hill, Brooklyn. The station's Manhattan studio (pictured above) was looted then set afire. To this day, both studio and transmitter sites have remained on the tiny islet in the widest section of the Gowanus Canal: "Signal Hill." Hear the first three installments of "The BLACKOUT TAPES" in succession, including commentary from KLW notables. *Please note, the quality of the audio reflects the off-air nature of the recording, that is a consumer tape recorder's microphone placed in front of a 1960s vintage tube-type Zenith kitchen radio. Also note the recordist was 685 miles away from Signal Hill, Brooklyn, hearing the KILLERWATT's 50,000 watt AM signal via night-time "skip," or "skywave."

NOEL asked Sid to crank up the KILLERWATT's transmitter just a smidge more. Our Chief Engineer obliged, saying: "Sure. But play me something from Quicksilver Messenger Service." Then, KLW's Peabody Award winning disc jockey opened his mic and all at once, the atmosphere around Signal Hill went alight, a flash of color permeating matter and space, revealing an aurora over the Gowanus Canal. And out came Brooklyn's dancing freaks. NOEL turned to Sid and smiled. Click to listen.
