  3:23pm EG_Astro:

it's a unisex shirt
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:24pm HyperDose:

I think unisex shirts fit best. Not trying to be all tight in the chest like Michael Scott. Also longer in the back, which is great for tall people.

I find "unisex" cut awful but YMMV

SBB was the first WFMU show I ever heard and the show that got me hooked for life <3 It was Sheila's program about the War on Drugs and many artists who have suffered from our society's outdated and hostile views on addiction. Love y'all!!!!! WFMU is literally all I listen to every day all day

Or as Andy Breckman said, if you hear something you hate on WFMU, turn the station off for five minutes. When you turn it back on, we'll be playing something you hate even more.

Someone pointed out Radio Garden to me a couple weeks ago and even though I found some cool niche stations on it like Orthodox Chants Radio out of Russia and Theatre Organ Radio in Elk Grove, CA, there's already so much great music on WFMU. And nothing compares to FMU's DJs and community.

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.
