With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

Favoriting March 28, 2021: A Thad is Born, and Tete Too
Michigander trumpet and flugelhorn immortal Thad Jones celebrates his 98th birthday at The Stork Club this Sunday. Likewise we shall basque in the glories of Catalonian pianist Tete Montoliu (MOAN-tell-yu) - born 10 years later in Barcelona. Thad Jones is best known for his big band recordings with drummer Mel Lewis, but we’ll also hear him with Basie, Monk, Mingus, Ben Webster, Yusef Lateef and many others. To Tete Montoliu’s gorgeous solo work we add his recordings with Roland Kirk, Johny Griffin, Anthony Braxton and more and more. Rest your Sunday-bones, and grab that shaker. Over-overtime is anticipated.

Listener Robert:

Wow. I see this show went 10% over goal, and as of now the station total is almost 2% over.

Not to try to be a downer, but I think station fundraising over the past year has been a fluke -- a combination of people's being forced to stay home while in some cases receiving monetary compensation. Therefore I hope Auricle's debt gets paid off or significantly paid down this year. Some of the audience will ripen as programs on the various streams become better known, which will increase donations, but not to the degree of the pandemic year. I think certain costs will diminish as the paid services of some of the "skeletons" at HQ on Montgomery St. will no longer be needed, but there'll also be spending on some things that weren't possible during the pandemic.

Listener Robert:

The 2020 spring marathon turned out to have the worst possible timing and STILL outperformed 2019 by far. The October Hellraiser did spectacularly, as did spring 2021, even minus the phone volunteers.

I'm pretty sure the phone volunteers will be restored in 2022, but we should recognize that it's in very large measure a social thing -- as much volunteer work on anything most places is, and doesn't produce such a great increment in income to the station. I don't know if they still need to do temporary construction every February and takedown afterward to make it possible, or whether the current configuration of HQ allows the volunteers to just "move in".

I'm sorry that you have observed the WFMU community sometimes being unwelcoming to new listeners.

The Drummer Stream has a distinctly different feel. I mention this often! More like a back room - with fewer people - & more lived in - but puffier furniture ?? Of course - I'm probly *overly* present in Comments on both streams (main as well) - & have had my tet-a-tet w/ Staysh as many have (a jumping-in gang ritual almost, so to speak??...) & now the other Streams just seem to be getting more happening & relevant...
What fred says perks my brain but I'm having trouble with relevant observation or conclusion about it... FMU is intimidating Culturally - by nature as commercially marginal stuff ...& also as comprised of people who take this seriously ! I'm *always* in over my head - but I happen to like being exposed to more & learning as much as I can pick up. But maybe that's not mainstream @ all. As a Community - & in Comments - FMU is remarkably - almost Ideally! - positive & troll-free. The two seem to be in contrast - but both have to do with a kind of Discriminating mentality...

I do not look at the issue of "drawing in young people" as a problem to solve by changing or altering our programming. The appeal of WFMU (and, surely of the Drummer Stream) is a fairly sophisticated one. Sophisticated not in any elitist sense, but sophisticated in a way the develops from a kind of experience. It takes having some perspective to be able to recognize and appreciate the essentially subversive nature of freeform as an aesthetic. You have to have lived long enough to learn that you have to unlearn so much of what the engines of mainstream culture have pounded into us. Of course, there are plenty of young people who are preternaturally constructed to be drawn to what we do, but the unusual appeal of WFMU has always, for the 35 years I have been involved, skewed to an older crowd. All that said, to be truly committed to freeform, WFMU has to be prepared to embrace all cultural content, including those sources appealing to younger listeners. I think it is massively ironic (and supremely wonderful) that maybe the two youngest DJs on the Drummer Stream are both deeply into music that is many generations old.

Great conversation here! When I first started listening in college in ‘93/‘94, I didn’t like a lot of what I heard at first, but there was no streaming yet. I might’ve listened less if I could have picked up WNYU or WDRE (which seems unappealing now) or if my tiny college station hadn’t been a joke. Limited choices in the offbeat realm shaped and changed my tastes. After a while FMU was the only place with really unlimited horizons. Everything has changed now, everyone can get almost anything on demand immediately, but I have no idea how that changes discovery/appeal for new young listeners....

I agree with Doug Schulkind regarding the age skew of the freeform audience. However, I do think that added onto that is a bit of a "hump" or cohort of those who were drawn in by the punk and hardcore movement ca. 1980. That's how I found out about WFMU.

Thanks, Fred, it's for a skit writing class she just finished, would have to get her permission. If you have TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, etc, she posts something every 2-3 days (search Rebecca Skowron), and follow her (I have to play them multiple times to bring the counts up). The latest was her auditioning for a part in Call The Midwife).

Been along from the start, and glad to have been. Following the conversations as well. A perfect pairing, to my mind, perhaps the sum greater than the parts.

Too much airplane glue, I think. Hope to see you all again next time.

fred: shopped at a record store in Barcelona in the 90s. Sensitive to the political differences, I offered the clerk "Lo siento, no hablo Catalán."
To which she rejoined:"Lo siento, no hablo español."
