Think I'll shoot for WM Berger's premium, though the Antique Phonograph record shirt would look great tucked into a pair of acid washed jeans while I argue the value of Artie Shaw 78's with a deaf 90 year old.

speaking of WFMU, i've been enjoying the new scott mcdowell (the long rally) e-newsletter thing: http://tinyletter.com/lovegloom
always good stuff in there.

I renewed my swag4lyfe thing a couple of weeks ago minus the swag, no farting around with pledging to particular shows, I'll check back with them in a couple of weeks when the marathon is over. Hope they hit the goal.

about halfway through, at 42%

I donated to the Duane Train show, he is my new favorite. Also, I was listening to the Inflatable Squirrel Carcass during the drive and was reminded of how brilliant and inspiring freeform radio can be. Basically, the hosts were making weird noises, saying nonsensical things and using voice effects. Ace.

well Rich is like that off-mic too

sorry to miss the 7SD Human Centipede show (in all media), but my raccoon had hepatitis. Anything to report? did they archive the video stream?

seven months pass...

From WFMU email today

WFMU is dangerously low on cash, and there is less than one week remaining of our silent fundraiser.

Frankly, we're getting a little scared. We need to raise $51,239 by midnight on Oct 31st.

Thx for the heads up, just pledged

So how did it go for them? The t-shirt rules.

They made their goal a couple of days after the marathon's nominal end, I believe. The fact that they held open the counting for a few extra days and hardly anybody even noticed is nice -- the fall "silent" fundraiser is about as painless as a fundraiser can be.
