Hello Dan, good morning!

Sun. 9/27/09 6:24am From: (mta) Tony

Yes Dan, Good Morning; you're not alone, obviously. Have a great day! Great first set.

Morning Dan & commenteers!

With regards of borrowing the term 'The Airborne Event'.. All's fair in war and radio making.

Hmmm...

Is commenting on a playlist governed by FCC restrictions?!

Sounded like Dimuzio to me too...

Dan, I've been enjoying your show.
I'll be listening to this same show again later too.
Haven't picked a favorite show since Shrunken Planet, but I'll be looking forward to airbonre on sunday mornings.

fmu should just keep doing what it's been doing since 1967. I'm still listening, aren't I? When you've got a formula that works, stick with it. That's my opinion; hope it helps.

Sun. 9/27/09 6:50am From: Looms

I agree with Tony, why should WFMU give up this great freeform formula? Dan, your top 40 bullshit was pretty scary... Do you NEED more listeners? Have you money problems again?

Hi all, thanks for checking in today. We just lost power for a minute due to a lightning stike, but thankfully backup power seems to have kept everything rolling (except for the CD player resetting momentarily). Glad to hear some of you (at least) think we should keep on doing what we're doing. I hope I didn't give the impression that I thought (or that anyone here thought) we should become a Top 40 station -- that will never happen. Obviously, we don't *want* less listeners, so in that sense, we *do* want more. But it's not about the money here (though, yes, we're broke) -- we'd never design our programming to make more money. I personally think WFMU is here to challenge listeners and to have fun and put out a fiesty voice that will never be popular in the greater world, but has and will attract listeners who appreciate something real happening on the radio.

Morning! Mark McGuire is great. Wonder where the listener figures would go if you played his 92 minute tape.

More Lexie Mountain Boys plz. kthx.

Sun. 9/27/09 7:06am From: andy, sunderland

I just like WFMU because it's almost guaranteed you'll hear something amazing if you turn it on at any time of the week (including the comedy shows/call ins etc!). I don't know of another station that's like that really. Obviously most shows don't really play enough Lexie Mountain but that's a minor criticism.

Sun. 9/27/09 7:14am From: Dan B

Minor criticism re (& request for) Lexie Mountain taken.

Sun. 9/27/09 7:45am From: Dan B

Lexie Mountain's blog is here: http://thehumanpyramid.blogspot.com/ -- great stuff

Morning all!

Dan, I agree with you (and the other listeners) I tune in to WFMU precisely to listen to music that I know I'm unlikely to here anywhere else. That's what makes the station so special.

Sun. 9/27/09 7:51am From: Dan B

Thanks for checking in Azam.

Sun. 9/27/09 7:54am From: Graham Stark

Hi on a glorious Autumn morning in England. I'm another Brit who has come to love WFMU and your show in particular. I love how you always find something I've never heard of that's great; like the late John Peel used to over here.

p.s. is that really Aleister Crowley's voice? If so, he seems a lot less scary with his upper-class twit accent.

Sun. 9/27/09 8:01am From: Dan B

I'm a little embarrassed to be compared to John Peel! But in a good way. And yeah, Crowley really was an upper-class twit, even when reciting Enochian invocations! You should read some of his magical diaries, they are really fun.

Sun. 9/27/09 8:14am From: Dan B

Here's a diary of a Magical Retirement, authored by Crowley, for your edification and enjoyment: http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib860.html

Happy Yom Kippur day, Dan and everyone. Did you repent? you should repent

Sun. 9/27/09 8:33am From: Dan B

Ah yes, I forgot to repent! Thanks Zax, I'll get right on that. Happy Yom Kippur!

Sun. 9/27/09 8:36am From: Bas, NL

Noise Nomads was lovely. Thanks.

second that, beautiful! And now I make my sandwich.

this program struck me this morning as I drifted in and out of sleep, in the rain, in a boat. there was no reason for me to be up at that time but the show was perfect and tranquil for my dreamy head. i appreciated your discussion of lockgroove. speaking of this however, in jersey city, i still have difficulty tuning in the analog, terrestial signal at times. It's usually just sandwitched between two stronger signals. i wanted to comment about commenting but I was without a digital feed. i remember Ken made a comment about how the best radio dj announcing was done as if nobody was listening. I think extending this notion to the actual dj'ing itself makes sense. Ironically acting toward your personal subjective goals has the affect of bridging subjectivities and brings us closer to a subjectless understanding of humanity, life, the mind, etc. maybe? beauty is simultaniously the most subjective and objective experience, in a sense.

by the way, i heard the power outage and thought my 4 dollar radio had just passed on.

by the other way, I'm a Dan B. too!
