Fabulously Femme Frequencies
May 13, 2026 (Part 1 Of 3)
with DJ Tea, Mr. Announcer Man & Mickey Fingers
1–3pm CST on WDRT 91.9FM | Listen Live »
By DJ Tea (DJ Celeste) & Mickey Fingers
Some shows arrive exactly when they’re supposed to.
Fabulously Femme Frequencies was originally built almost a year ago in a late-night blur of favorite songs, side quests, emotional support playlists, strange observations, and “wait… this actually works together?” moments between Celeste Violet and Mickey Fingers.
Then life happened.
So the tape sat quietly in the Velvet Umbrella vault until now.
And honestly?
After the week Celeste’s had…
Ankles exploded. Nerves pinched. Chaos chaos’d.
....this one feels less like a playlist and more like medicine.
From Siouxsie, Björk, Tori Amos, and Goldfrapp to Veruca Salt, Emilie Autumn, Portishead, and Gala Violet’s “Elephant in the Room,” this is a femme-fronted comfort transmission for the glitter girls, the weird aunties, the soft goths, the emotionally exhausted, the self-parented, and anybody trying to survive the world without losing their strange little spark.
Some frequencies don’t just entertain you.
They keep you company.
This week on W-D-R-T…
is basically a little Velvet Umbrella mini-festival.
Wednesday from 1 to 3 p.m. Central…
it’s Fabulously Femme Frequencies: Mother’s Day Edition.
A lost tape from last May that somehow never aired…
a femme-fronted mixtape Celeste and I built together in a late-night HAP-slappy blur…
full of dreamy songs, dangerous glamour, strange little observations…
and the kind of inside jokes that only make sense after midnight.
What started as chaos…
somehow turned into a Mother’s Day mix.
Then Friday overnight…
step carefully into Velvet Umbrella Radio: After Hours – Into My Arms.
A Goth Daddy transmission for the heartbreak kids…
the night drivers…
and anybody still awake on purpose.
Nick Cave.
Bauhaus.
The Cure.
Functional heartbreak.
Velvet static.
And that 2 a.m. feeling when memory gets louder than the room.
And if you want to drift even deeper…
there’s a Mixcloud-only companion:
Petals & Hooks | After the Wreck.
[Premiers Friday | Midnight]
Four hours of dream-noir frequencies…
starting in the ruins…
and ending somewhere near the place where the light finally starts leaking back in.
Velvet Umbrella Radio.
Same room…
different light.
Mickey's Corner
Can We Just Say, It has been a crazy few months...
...Somewhere in the middle of all this…
Celeste accidentally started building another little world.
What began as a blog refresh quietly turned into new theme music, late-night recordings, strange little promos, After Hours experiments, and one very pink emotional support ukulele.
There may also be a secret-ish Velvet Umbrella transmission slipping out this Friday at midnight tied to Petals & Hooks: After the Wreck.
No promises.
No schedules.
No normal behavior.
Just frequencies.
Might I add..
Happy Mother’s Day to Celeste Violet - dog mom, radio goddess, and birth mother of these strange little worlds… and I am very, very glad to be along for the ride.
