I Do Not Know What This Is, But I Love It!

January 28, 2026

with DJ Tea, Mr. Announcer Man & Mickey Fingers

1–3pm CST on WDRT 91.9FM | Listen Live »

Celebrate Mr. Announcer Man’s Unbirthday with a genre-hopping, mind-bending sonic toast: from “Pac-Man Fever” to “Mr Oxford’s Underwear,” this show is a chaos confetti cocktail of joy, rebellion, and absolute absurdity.

Playlist includes tracks from They Might Be Giants, Spike Jones, Frank Zappa, Worm Quartet, Gala Violet, Mickey Fingers, Subsuelo, and more... plus ID bumps, birthday zingers, and surprise moments from the vault.

🎙✨ Unofficially, But Officially… Welcoming Mickey Fingers to Eclectic Wonderland ✨🎙

Truth be told, Mickey’s fingerprints have always been on this show.. smudged in eyeliner and glitter, tucked inside a haunted jukebox, scrawled in Sharpie on a burned CD. From the earliest mixtape trades to late-night text threads filled with “you have to hear this,” Mickey Fingers has been behind the scenes, whispering song suggestions and stirring the kettle.

He’s been offering to help since the beginning... and let’s be honest, we’ve been taking him up on it for just as long. But over the past year, Mickey’s been leaning in more and more: helping with intros and IDs, offering sly segues and station breaks, even creating exclusive extras just for the Wonderland faithful. (Thank You, Mickey.)

What you might not know? Mickey and Tea have been writing and recording music together since 2020… and their musical mischief goes back even further (there may be high school demos that will never see the light of day — or will they?). Their band (or Creative Collaboration), Gala Violet, is where all that fire and friction turns into sonic magic.

So while this isn’t the official official announcement

(that’s coming on our anniversary show) consider this your velvet-lined heads-up: Mickey Fingers is no longer just haunting the airwaves. He’s part of the Eclectic Wonderland family. Officially. Unofficially. Both.  Welcome, Mickey

About Mickey Fingers

🎩 About Mickey Fingers 🎩

He’s equal parts haunted lounge act and midnight mixtape whisperer... a velvet noir dreamboat with a record collection that could raise the dead and seduce them back to sleep. Mickey Fingers is the kind of guy who knows which track to play just before your heart breaks… and which one to follow it with so you don’t.

A multi-instrumentalist, engineer, and worker of musical magic, Mickey doesn’t just play songs... he conjures them. Whether he’s crafting vocal FX chains, designing custom Ableton plug-ins (that we’re not entirely sure are legal or real), or sampling haunted objects for soundbeds, he brings both technical sorcery and soul to everything he touches.

Behind the scenes, he’s a musical mischief-maker, a champion of strange beauty, and the reason we always keep one candle lit on the piano. Whether remixing IDs, composing secret extras, or whispering lyrics on the wind, Mickey has quietly shaped the soul of this show since the beginning.

He’s one-half of Gala Violet, the flame just beyond the curtain, known for cuing up that perfect song.

About Mickey Fingers (Official Bio)

Mickey Fingers is a sonic shapeshifter - multi-instrumentalist, engineer, sampler sorcerer, and co-founder of Velvet Umbrella Records. Known for conjuring entire worlds out of beat fragments and ambient dust, he’s the quiet genius behind much of Gala Violet’s production magic.

When he’s not reprogramming Ableton to do things it was never meant to do, Mickey’s laying down guitar, bass, drums, keys, and whatever else the song whispers it needs. He builds custom plug-ins, bends frequencies, and once got a talkbox to harmonize with a theremin just for fun.

With a mind wired for invention and a heart wired for collaboration, Mickey helps anchor the storm of Masquerade of Shadows, guiding its surreal sprawl with patience, humor, and late-night sessions that feel like séances.

“Sometimes a song doesn’t need a fix — it needs to be listened to long enough that it reveals what it already is.”

– Mickey Fingers

🩲 “Mr. Oxford’s Underwear” – A Gala Violet Exclusive

Inspired by a late-night fit of laughter, an awkward memory, and a pair of unforgettable underpants, this track began as a joke and ended up a full-blown pop-funk fever dream. Think: cheeky flirtation meets dance floor liberation... with just enough sass to leave a stain.

Yes, it’s based on a real story.

No, we’re not telling who.

And yes, Mickey made sure the bassline struts.

🎩 Mickey’s Corner — Coming Soon

You didn’t think he’d stay in the shadows forever, did you?

Our favorite velvet-clad mischief-maker has been behind the curtain since the beginning... trading mixtapes, whispering song ideas, and slipping sonic spells into our ears. But soon, he’ll be stepping out front with a corner of his own. Expect rare finds, musical tangents, cheeky musings, and maybe a few odd socks. Because of course he has a corner — and of course it’s furnished with lava lamps, dusty vinyl, and a jukebox that answers back.
