re: backgrounds

Firefox has a plugin named 'Greasemonkey" that makes changes pretty easy. You can create a new one for the namespace 'http://www.wfmu.org' with a one liner: "$('body').css({'background': '#black'});" to make the bg black and toggle it at will.

Wow, Fab, thanks.....your shit is always awesome, but the meandering Nick Drake is verily welcome.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:29pm
Matt from Springfield:

@dale: I would much rather learn about new music from WFMU than commercials, but I first found several artists through commercials, including the "Pink Moon" VW commercial--what a strange, haunting yet breezy acoustic piece. Rolling Stone IDed him by name based on that commercial, and a world opened up to me.

In fact before I "tuned in", that was the *main* way of finding really good artists (VW commercials from the early 2000s, Nick Drake, Trio, ELO) and even Vashti Bunyan from some advert shortly after one of her reissues.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:31pm
Matt from Springfield:

@tim: It's a great anthology. There have been so many reissues since then I can't keep track, but Time of No Reply is a great collection.

@NGH: "Meandering"! Another great descriptor for Nick's style. I like the term "sparrow's whisper voice" used for his vocal.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 5:32pm
dale:

matt - i had other music in the village, so was pretty spoiled learning about 'new' artists
Avatar 5:33pm
northguineahills:

@MAtt: Same for me. The reissues came out about the same time, and the Wire also starting making noise about him. It was a perfect storm.

Related, that minimalist (in pop proportions) group, Arp, came to my attention via a commercial. I can't stand that song b/c of it, but their (his) other stuff totally works for me.

He signed my Fruit Tree box set, Sandy Denny box etc. I was like, far out!

@steve: You got my number: "pre-internet, record store free, suburbs". At least certain creative commercials, though commercial in nature, open up great art to "the Great Un-connected", pardon mon français.

@LovecraftDude: That is keen! Peachy-keen! Without Sandy or Nick here, Joe Boyd is a great person to meet and sign those albums.
  5:37pm

Other Music gets some bad raps but I like it, I haven't been
inside there in a few years though.
  5:39pm
LovecraftDude888:

yeah it was great to finally shake hands with Joe Boyd,
one of my heroes of course. I also met Robyn Hitchcock
again 2 yrs. ago when he and Joe did the spoken word
and music show at Le poisson rouge. robyn liked my "black
Ray Bans" hanging on my shirt..."I like those glasses"!hiaha!hoo hoo

I would gladly give two years of my life to Nick Drake...if it were only possible.
  5:40pm

I asked Joe Boyd though if he'd heard of Winter Hours, the band,
and he hadn't!! I was bemused. puzzled. It's too bad since it would have been cool if he'd have had produced them years ago. Ah well.

I don't buy many CDs lately, but I still stop by Other Music for old times' sake and browse whenever I'm near E. 4th St. It reminds me of the 90s when there were record stores all over the Village. Sigh.
