Liz, I wanted to make a pledge before leaving and dialed wrong twice before I decided to look online. If you don't mind my saying so, I think you need to give it out on the air!!!! (On my way right now. I'm due at 11 today.)

I also suggest you give the international phone number. Many people would like the thrill of phoning in from abroad rather than doing the web pledge.

It wouldn't begin with 800 would it?That's just for the US?
Mon Feb. 25, 2008 9:52am

if we pledge an amount at the beginning, are we in the running for all the prizes in that show? or just for that one cd that's offered when we pledge?

Ah, I see what you mean. Does the code for calling the US change from country to country? Humor me, I am just an ignorant Amerikanski.
Mon Feb. 25, 2008 9:58am

Vicki - DO or DIY
I was already humouring you :)
The code does change for leaving your own country, but remains 1 for entering the US. So you are safe saying +1 then the phone number.

From:

i wish wfmu would go back to playing more outsider music, i feel more and more like the outsider kind of stuff has become a sort of "psuedo-underground" am I overthinking things? I just feel like deathset and battles and all these other super hip brooklyn or portland or wherever dancey bands are the kind of run of the mill now, and wfmu used to have more interesting unique kind of music. I completely understand that the trust fund baby population of upcoming hip neighborhoods comprises a whole lot of the listener base now, maybe I'm just lost in thought but I have been thinking about this a bunch lately, anyway liz still rocks...

Mon Feb. 25, 2008 11:48am
From:
Vicki - DO or DIY
There have been a number of daytime and drive time show slots playing outsider music. This is a rare thing for a station with such a large listenership to not be shoving all this stuff into the midnight slot and beyond. In the UK this would never happen, apart from on Resonance FM, who are having real problems funding themselves, and also don't reach a fraction of the listeners that WFMU do. I really commend WFMU for taking as much a chance that they do in playing screaming and burping to people trying to drive home, and WANTING electronica and rock music.

I suppose it's just that the perception of change bothers me, I started listening to wfmu quite a long time ago, I'm origianally from Jersey city, and seeing all the change that has happened the condos, the crap people, fake artists, etc..it just bothers me, and I feel like I hear it on wfmu, it's like it's lost the honesty factor, but maybe there's honesty, even in low level hip chic capitalism, it's just crazy, I used to listen to FMU all the time, carry a pocket radio and listen, and it was always fascinating, now it just seems far less interesting, but like you said, up top, it's what's going on, and I guess I'm getting old, sorry, just some heartfelt words from a longtime listener...
Mon Feb. 25, 2008 12:23pm
From:
arn
Liz, love your show, even the fund raising stuff is fun to listen to! That said, and speaking of the station as a whole, I'd second Johnathan's comment. Being a recent listener myself, I don't have the same experience, but from checking out the archives, have similar impression.
Mon Feb. 25, 2008 2:53pm
From:
Ike the Phone Slave
Johnathan and Arn, I've been listening since 1993-94 and I don't think it's changed that hugely. IMHO, Liz's show is, in a way, the successor to shows like Hova's and the early Jeff Cobb era, or maybe a cross between early Diane and Leila. And there was some crappy hip "lounge" music on FMU in the mid-'90s, which was the "chic" thing then. I like the current concept of "hip" or "chic" a lot better than that psuedo-retro, psuedo-ironic lounge garbage. But then, I don't go to a lot of shows or hang out in JC (except when volunteering) or NYC much, so I don't face the social aspect of your complaint.
Anyway, as Michael said, you'd definitely be more keen on archives of shows like Dan Bodah's Airborn Event and Fabio's show and Bill Mac and especially Pseu:
