A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Adrian in London:
Morning Trouble. So the question is, do I donate this week or next? | |
|

charlie:
go trouble! go wfmu!! ye-ye-ye!!! | |
|
Tue. 3/1/11 9:14am
trouble:
adrian,ouch that's a very sophie's choice dilemma! i think it is best to share the love and split your donation in two... | |

Andy in Iowa City:
Morning Trouble! Already made my Mouse pledge but had to check-in with one of my fav 'FMU DJs. Thanks to you and everyone at the station for all your love and hard work. It shows. I'll be dropping some prize account pledges and maybe a few "cherries on top" during the marathon. | |

For when you need a breather, here's Jane Russell on What's My Line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14cK_IzpgBk | |

wow, Jane Russell is stunning, those eyebrows are sublime | |
|
Tue. 3/1/11 9:22am
Marmalade Kitty:
I assume, all donations are pooled together into one big pot, is that right? But the competition is fierce between Dj's shows..? | |
|
Tue. 3/1/11 9:24am
Adrian in London:
Great earrings too, seang! | |
|
Tue. 3/1/11 9:26am
trouble:
yes Mk they are all pooled together, but each dj tried to work their winning magic to extract as much dough as possible. the past 2 years we have fallen short of our marathon goal of a million $, that's right. that is what it costs to run a sttaion that is practically all volunteer help! | |
|
Tue. 3/1/11 9:30am
pierre:
Does companies give money to (just for supporting the radio, not try to advertise anything of course) ? It may be a stupid question. | |
|
Tue. 3/1/11 9:30am
Marmalade Kitty:
Good look Trouble! Thanks and I totally agree with you | |

John:
Now when you say that “if everyone who listens to FMU were to give a dollar” does that include my coworkers who are forced against their will to listen? I love the show from Ft. Lauderdale FLA. | |

yair yona:
if anyone needed a reason to pledge in the marathon, I believe this post I wrote about it, will convince. and if it won't, you seriously don't have a soul. | |

el espiritu cubano! yeah! now where is my cafe con leche when i need one? | |
|
Tue. 3/1/11 10:31am
Danne D:
This is totally unrelated aside from the word leche but I saw the funniest Spanish-Language informercial/Shawwow style commercial where the product was powdered milk. Though it was funny how dynamic they were trying to make it sound :) | |

I remember WFMU urging folks to send in old motor cars, however old and beaten up..! | |

The "mac" guy who plays those pre-WWI cylinders etc.. would probably find most interesting I believe a few Add from Phongraphs there too ... it's wild stuff... | |

Danne D:
Here's the section on donating things like cars and lps etc to wfmu. Don't know how this interacts or doesn't with the swag-o-verse but here you go :) http://wfmu.org/Help/donate.html | |

Tue. 3/1/11 10:40am
Pinky&Perky:

Tue. 3/1/11 10:54am
Danne D:
Tom, I'd shoot and e-mail to powers at that link about what you might be able to donate in terms of stuff. Folks do what they can when they can so if circumstances mean you can't make a donation or only make a small one don't worry just encourage your friends to support the station. I hope things get better for you :) | |

it's amazing how good the reception is on my 30+ year old Emerson radio ,,, and on a fancy HI "modern" am/fm reciever "NADA " ?? The great clear strreaming internet is a blessing!!!! but the "radio" is like I am listening to say ie .. Pat Duncan .. when I first got this radio .... | |

If you put 2 quarters in a jar every day for year, that'd be enough to pledge $180 :) Literally your pocket change can make a big difference for WFMU and your dollars go far :) | |
