Michael Fremer,
Cornell ‘69, Senior
Contributing Editor
to Stereophile. As
a Cornell alumnus
we will roll out the
Big Red Carpet.
Michael was a DJ
here on WVBRAM
until he was shown the door in 1965 for
being Howard Stern before Howard Stern. He
returned to the radio in Boston in 1973 on
the legendary “* form” rock station WBCNFM
until he was fired there too, for the same
reason. He went on to stand-up comedy and
later co-wrote and voiced an animated film
“Animalympics,” with Gilda Radner, Billy
Crystal and Harry Shearer. Later he supervised
the Academy Award nominated soundtrack to
the sci-fi feature film “Tron.”
The introduction of the compact disc so upset
him that he dropped everything to campaign
against it. Thus began a twenty plus year
writing career. In addition to writing for
Stereophile, Fremer has written for The New
York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, and
many other magazines and newspapers.
He can be found online at www.ultimateavmag.
com where he has a blog and writes A/V
reviews and on his own music review website
www.musicangle.com.
Michael will speak about his obsession
with vinyl long playing records and explain
why it is currently making a comeback,
especially among young musicians who
insist on releasing their music on vinyl
and among an “enlightened” segment
of college students. He promises to be
funny and outrageous but not to the point
of being shown the door at Cornell again.
