Monica's Untold Gold this morning was fantastic! Billy Nomates, whom I think we heard first on Sophisticated Boom Boom!
I’ve posted this 7,8x since Saturday. I do so now. I just want/hope wfmu to get its needed money. Here:
Note- I upped my usual annual amount, due to death of any wfmu listeners (via COVID or other). This is inspired by last yr's passing of listener volunteer Bill Weber, whom I’ve never met. RIP. (The Mountain Goats tweeted about Bill, and that they would pledge extra.). and as per those who can’t pledge due to the pandemic, it’s to try and fill the holes.
It's positive only ironically.
... d : amply supplied : replete : "lousy with money"
Listened to “NY’s #1 Hit Music Station” yesterday. NO Z-100!! I DON’T WANT TO BUY YOUR CORNED BEEF! I don’t care if Ryan Seacrest eats it! NO z-100! I do not want to buy a kia!!!
WFMU is refreshing
...& oh look. Still relevant...
I will be tuning into his show to relax and listen.
...Know that when you pledge - you are my FMU HEROES.
Keeping it alive for everybody. <3
