Irwin Chusid Biography

Irwin Chusid is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on April 22, 1951 in Newark, New Jersey, United States.

Irwin Chusid (born April 22, 1951 in Newark, New Jersey) is a journalist, music historian, radio personality, record producer, and self-described “landmark preservationist”. His stated mission has been to “find things on the scrapheap of history that I know don’t belong there and salvage them.” Those “things” have included such previously overlooked but now-celebrated icons as composer/bandleader/electronic music pioneer Raymond Scott, Space Age Pop avatar Esquivel, illustrator/fine artist Jim Flora, various outsider musicians (including William “Shooby” Taylor, a.k.a. “The Human Horn”), and The Langley Schools Music Project. Chusid calls himself “a connoisseur of marginalia,” while admitting he’s “a terrible barometer of popular taste.”

In the late 1970s, Chusid was one of the first DJs to regularly air recordings of Jandek, The Shaggs, Lucia Pamela, and R. Stevie Moore on the radio. In the early 1980s he programmed a weekly segment entitled The Atrocious Music Hour, which featured recordings from such non-musical celebrities as William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. This subgenre was eventually chronicled by Rhino Records on their Golden Throats series of albums, for which Chusid authored liner notes. These compilations contributed to Shatner’s revived celebrity, albeit with overtones of self-parody.
