Listener Robert:

As I mentioned in the other thread, it occurred to me a couple days ago that had I been in charge 30 yrs. ago, I'd've been a total chicken about $, taking care of what seemed to be obvious necessities, and WFMU would never have grown into the enterprise it is, and probably would've disappeared by now. Auricle's always been on the edge with what they seemingly couldn't afford, and you see the results: a glorious outlet of 2 regular stations, 1 xltr, 1 on-channel booster, not just 1 but several streams, archiving, the FMA, outreach to other startups & patch-ups, a performance space...and some physical plant that's been advertised as in need of repair for some time. It's risky, but the risks have paid off in the past.

@Matt: that's what I do. I think I may have managed to narrow down my choices almost to the finals, but there's 5-6 shows where I need to double-check things. There's plenty of almost-rans, which I'll then hope are available as warehouse items next year.

Oh... great (to me at least) mystery prize story. One day I was volunteering at the station over the Summer last year and my job for like the first hour of the day was to figure out how to wrap and pack this MASSIVE 10LP Merzbow box set prize!

The best part is Scott or Joe called the guy who won it to make sure he wanted it, and he said he'd never heard of Merzbow but did some experimental music himself and so yeah he wanted it.

Andrew @1:12 i have but not in a long time. i don't pay much attention to podcasts; but i guess in that case i should, since he's not on the schedule.

@coelacanth. Well, it's not hard to keep up, Ben isn't really a prolific podcaster. His stuff is still excellent though.

i did download a few podcasts recently when i was going to work where there was no internet or radio; then i ended up not working there again so i still haven't heard them.
...there's live and there's archives; then there's my own collection and my own stuff; and there's, ehem, those other! internet sources...i need more years to play with!

there's WFMU, podcasts, and all the stuff I buy because of FMU and podcasts, the FMA, and all the stuff I already have. My mp3 collection is spectacular on shuffle though.

Thanks, Matt. And let me say again- your Badfinger was AWESOME!

...speaking of too much information!
...i find myself "reviewing" music. there's only a half dozen or so new things i've got that i've listened to repeatedly.
i don't like that aspect of so much wealth. i don't know albums like i used to.

@Matt: just noticed your old comment. Yep, Mats is a singular.

I think I won about the same amount of prizes this year as last, but with more pledges. Got 2 grand prizes and generally excellent stuff, so I'm really looking forward to the mailing sometime in August/September.

The only things you can't get on the archives are Yo La Tengo shows, and shows where the DJ has an FCC-offensive meltdown.

WFMU's ustream account, vimeo account or YT channel will have the Marathon. Possibly all of them will have it at some point.

Thanks simon and Caryn. how do find that though? via the blog?

Truth is, I haven't understood anything out of Bowie's mouth since Heroes. Crucify me for that if you like.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:01am
coelacanth:

i forget now, as i was glued to wfmu for a week, who played this back-to-back with "black star" by Elvis Presley.
that was interesting.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:02am
Caryn:

@coelacanth: I think Hearty's 2nd show during the Marathon had a link to one of his performances on the vimeo account, so you can find the account that way easily, the ustream account can be accessed through the playlist of any show that had a video stream this Marathon, like SUW, 7SD or Pat Byrne. And with YT just go there and type in the search WFMU (and maybe Marathon).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:02am
pacific standard simon:

@coelacanth - it will be on the front page of the website. Trust me, it helps the station.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:04am

But yeah, as pss said, the main page will have a link to it sometime during the next week.
