His son is still Easy-E ? .. Okay, isn't Easy-E actually dead ? Good luck with the marathon !

Fri. 2/29/08 9:19am Parq:

That James Brown number? When I first started hearing it on the radio as a kid, I thought the key line was "get embalmed". Youth . . .

Fri. 2/29/08 9:23am north guinea hills:

Hey Doug, I just emailed you my pledge w/ all of the info you requested in your email. Is there anything else i need to do?

Fri. 2/29/08 9:25am Paul Sherratt:

Fri. 2/29/08 9:27am jonathan:

it's nice to hear that irwin is here with us.

Fri. 2/29/08 9:27am north guinea hills:

yum!!!!

Fri. 2/29/08 9:31am Doug:

Jonathan,
It'd be easier if you just called in your peldge to 1-800-989-9368. I haven't received any emails.... yet.

Love to all y'all out there in drummerland! Can't wait to hear from you.

Fri. 2/29/08 9:34am north guinea hills:

i emailed my pledge about 10 minutes ago.... (i've been stuck w/ jury duty since tuesday, until this morning)

Fri. 2/29/08 9:35am jonathan:

i pledged all i could muster this week. i don't think i'll be eating for about a month. you're doing god's work...whomsoever that may be.

Fri. 2/29/08 9:42am north guinea hills:

i admit i haven't been wfmu'ing too much this week at home, i just got back from monterrey, mexico and picked a giant pile of latin vinyl that i'm still going through at home.

Fri. 2/29/08 9:47am dei xhrist:

I pledged before the hullaballoo so I'm missing out on the fun. When my husband wins the lottery, though, FMU will win too.

Fri. 2/29/08 9:51am john:

isn't dylan a welsh name? so 'the welsh dylan' is akin to 'the french francois'...

Fri. 2/29/08 9:52am Barry:

Sackcloth & Ashes reminds me that I haven't heard 16 Horsepower in a long time. Doug, can you play some?

Fri. 2/29/08 9:52am pat:

Dylan may be but Zimmerman isn't.

Fri. 2/29/08 9:52am Cecile:

I pledged!

Fri. 2/29/08 9:53am Parq:

Dei, next year set up a prize account. You can pre-pay and still get in on the drawings. Check your flyer or the marathon web page for details.

Fri. 2/29/08 9:56am Kenzo:

Yay for recognizing the beauty of Doug's playlists!

Fri. 2/29/08 9:57am pat:

Thanks to Kenzo too for making this all work. Nice code.

Fri. 2/29/08 9:58am xangoir:

KenzoDB has a posse

Fri. 2/29/08 9:58am john:

Fri. 2/29/08 10:00am Cecile:

Wow, I thought you were a company, kenzo.

Stellar, stellar work!

truly fine musical selection for today, doug, keep up the good work!

Fri. 2/29/08 10:14am Cecile:

I don't think Doug plays ENOUGH tortured saxophones! ;D

Fri. 2/29/08 10:17am Sybil:

Speaking of different tastes...

One of the best things about WFMU - IMO - is that I will hear things that I otherwise might not have listened to, and find out that I like them a lot. I've had this experience with Doug and Irwin and Mike Lupica, for example, and lots of others, and it's really one of the things that brings me back.

Fri. 2/29/08 10:27am north guinea hills:

i always love ken hyder, good for cleaning out the friday morning cobwebs

Fri. 2/29/08 10:28am Dale:

Wow. I have a copy of Ken Hyder's Talisker "Land of Stone" I bought at Record Theater in Buffalo back in the day. That brings back memories.

Fri. 2/29/08 10:29am jonathan:

you know the dancing outlaw? have you ever read chuck kinder? fine, fine writer from wv now in pittsburgh. my writing mentor and the biggest fan and person friend of the dancing outlaw. small, small planet.

Fri. 2/29/08 10:29am jonathan:

personal friend. sorry.

Fri. 2/29/08 10:30am xangoir:

I love WFMU when out of nowhere speed levitch comes in for listener hour, Lord Whimsey appears, or Prof DUMDUM is on the air.

Fri. 2/29/08 10:32am Pamela:

You count people that pay via paypal?

Fri. 2/29/08 10:34am north guinea hills:

i have that colombian comp, it's amazing! there's some tracks where the you can see the bridge from latin to cotemporary dance music...but maybe i'm reading too hard into it.....

Fri. 2/29/08 10:38am Paul Sherratt:

Los DJs de 'fmu son como las flores ...

Fri. 2/29/08 10:51am Paul Sherratt:

Fri. 2/29/08 11:18am Richard:

Here's to The Bean! He was also my FMU "gateway" back in 1982 when I first moved to NY - I've been pledging ever since.

Fri. 2/29/08 11:21am Paul Sherratt:

Little Yvonne LeBlanc - Cleoma Breaux Falcon ... no relation ??

Nathan Abshire, my hero !

Fri. 2/29/08 11:22am north guinea hills:

Doug, i emailed my pledge in b/c i wanted to make sure your show got my pledge (although, now that i think about it, i'm sure the website would have taken care of that)

Fri. 2/29/08 11:30am Parq:

For the record, my gateway show was Irwin. But I dug the Bean, and miss him.

Fri. 2/29/08 11:38am Cecile:

Wow, a mini-Otis Redding...

Fri. 2/29/08 11:39am pat:

I think my gateway show was a marathon show w/ Ken and Scott--Ken constantly yelling "YOU ARE MEDDLING WITH THE PRIMAL ORDER OF NATURE!!!"

Fri. 2/29/08 11:40am north guinea hills:

what's the brain donor level?

Fri. 2/29/08 11:44am Paul Sherratt:

ngh,

$1000

Fri. 2/29/08 11:45am dei x:

You have to underwrite a bad rehash of the Marx Brothers with John Tuturro.
My gateway to FMU was through Fantagraphics books - all the coolest illustrators have done spot stuff for them. It's so nice when the artists you admire have taste!

Fri. 2/29/08 12:02pm reid:

good god I love WFMU!

Fri. 2/29/08 5:00pm Skylar:

Wonderful 50th marathon show Doug and Irwin. The Kim Doo Soo song was beautiful.

E-mailed my pledge in this morning. Love WFMU, happy 20th Doug. Your the best.
