The Delirious Insomniac Freeform Radio Show haunted the airwaves of WLUW into the wee hours of dreary Monday Nights from 2007 to 2014. Host Arvo Fingers used his lengthy experience as a sleepless madman to wield surrealistic songs and sounds into a slithering swath for 2-4 hours a week.
"Delirious Insomniac" harbored occasional interviews, virtual guest installations, ghost hosts, and radio art. The last year or so featured monthly cohost appearances from Michael Krause, Richard Syska, Lidia Vomito, and Bryan Chump Change, as well as regular fill-in appearances from Sarah "Dirty" Moskowitz.
The radio shows shared here are intended for entertainment purposes only. If you like an artist featured on one of these programs, it is encouraged to support them by buying their material.
DELIRIOUS MUSIC FOR DELIRIOUS PEOPLE
On September 9th, 2011, Arvo Fingers and WLUW celebrated the 4th Anniversary of the Delirious Insomniac Freeform Radio Show as well as the release of the first volume of "Delirious Music For Delirious People", a compilation featuring Jarboe, Controlled Bleeding, Zola Jesus, Boyd Rice and Friends, Gary Wilson, BeNe GeSSeRiT, Big City Orchestra, Hans Grusel's Krankenkabinet, and others.
