WFMU fundraising marathon 2011

Did an online monthly pledge already.

The volunteer-signup email vanished before it got to my inbox; oh well.

I've been able to bump my pledge amount up a little more each year since I started giving; trying to decide if I can go Full Mouse this year. But that's a big jump.

aiming to diminish some of my well-intentioned, impecuniously unhonoured FMU pledge-debt this year. is there a list of premiums up? would pledge for monica & toothpick rhythm.

hey thank you. sorry that was lazy of me.

Fabio's Failed Attempts - Lost Gems
An assortment of sounds sourced from Fabio's personal archives of rare cassettes, CD-Rs, forgotten records, etc. Amazing stuff!

Sinner's Crossroads' Can I Get A Witness?
140 plus minute 2-CD collection of ecstatic preaching culled from radio broadcasts, homemade cassettes, and long lost commercial discs.

Jason Elbogen's Good God(s)! - Judeo-Christian Psychedelic Funk from the 1970s
Songs from rare 1970s LPs intended to inspire bodily-gyrations & pay tribute to a monotheistic deity/+some guy.

Monica's This Time The Dream's On Me
A woozy and wistful 2-CD collection of impossibly romantic songs culled from the glue factory known as my record collection.

Ken and 7SD mysteriously missing premiums

Maybe that's Ken's way of admitting that he probably would never get around to finishing his premium like the one I pledged for two (three?) years ago grumble grumble grouse!

As for 7SD, the fatal flaw is that, ever since they've posted everybody's premiums online to choose from, I've always pledged to the show whose premium I want, and shockingly that's not Andy's Rock Paper Scissors DVD.

Best Show premium contains "Rated GG" a 7" of cleaned-up GG Allin covers.

and on it goes

Didn't hear this week's 7SD yet -- did they soak Andy?

also, fewer Kinks & VU requests for YLT tonight, plz

anyone heard a current total towartd the $1.2 M?

i don't know but i did it this year!

can't wait to hear Andy Breckman sing this Sunday:

i pledged to John Allen's show for the graham lambkin designed coffee mug..

I thought for a second you had pledged a YLT request last Friday for a Michael Hurley song.

"$275,000 away from our goal"

Is Ken doing (or has he done) a State of the Station address during this year's marathon?

i don't believe so, there wasnt one on the sked.

$142 G to go... call yr rich friends.

Ended only 45 G short, so hope they can make that up in the next week w/ latecomers -- like YOU!

Every year the Hoof & Mouth finale introduces me to crap I managed to avoid all my life, like "Sylvia's Mother." (Excellent method singing by my old high-school comrade Mac.)

Also, Rob & Betsy killed it, and Breckman singing "Vincent" off his iPhone was hilar.

You went to high school with Mac?!

WmC, I think there may have been a State of the Station on the first JM in the AM marathon show.

Also, I find it funny how many DJs can not pronounce Kearny correctly. (Or Monticello, NY for that matter.)

yes, it's not my fault he's aged better than I have,

I'm sure many of you have noticed that there's sort of a minithon going on this month, entirely on the website. Very clever, that Ken.

STILL WAITING FOR MY JOHN ALLEN IN THE A.M./GRAHAM LAMBKIN COFFEE MUG, KTHX.

u ever get it, ian? u can email them u know
