Greetings! Hope you can pledge tonight to support WFMU! If you pledge to my show as usual I've made a custom
conceptual world music cd for everyone who pledges $75 or more - this
year's theme is "Cross Cultural Confusion". A cd chock-full of music
that blurs genre boundaries: Okinawan island song meets African
highlife style; Polish highland fiddles collide with reggae toasters,
Middle Eastern music blended with Balkan Brass, Finnish / Indian
bhangra; and lots more. Even French icon Serge Gainsbourg gets into
the act with an Antillean-style selection. But if all that doesn't
float your boat you can choose a different DJ's premium cd instead!
PLUS - tonight one lucky person who pledges $75 or more during my show
will win a very special GRAND PRIZE - a big Indian shopping bag
(direct from the Jodhpur market) full of goodies - folk music cds from
India, two classic field-recording LPs of Indian Music, two new Indian
themed books (one fiction, one non-fiction) plus an Indian snack to
enjoy while you're listening or reading.
It's Katie's Birthday! My long suffering better half is sitting here in our dank studio to provide moral support! Pledge now - that will help!

I have one serious question guys: are there any grants available for non-commercial radio in USA, or is it very limited? (to nonexistent?) I'm really wondering | |
Sat. 3/1/14 6:59pm
LovecraftDude888:
PrometheusRadio.org sez community radio growing faster than corporate for sure...but I'm assuming that self-fund raising is the best way to do things. Grants are hard to get these days. | |

some other guy:
lovecraftdude, you've already answered your own question: the nice folks about prometheus know almost everything there is to know about LPFM and other non commercial radio, and they will be happy to provide you with information if you ask. (Grants are potentially available for everything, so there's no quick WFMU chat answer to your question) | |

Indonesia and Malaysia sound so similar to Filipino, I enjoy them too. . I know teachers there, and some students who lived in USA for a time. |

Skirkie in the phone room:
That's ok Ike. Duffy was on the list to be here and he didn't even show up. | |
![]() |
![]() Well, "Joe Ducky" has a good excuse -- he prob. has to rest up after getting paddled by Pseu's burlesque-ish dancer yesterday. That duck mask was kind of creepy. |
Sat. 3/1/14 8:35pm
Skirkie in the phone room:
I was wondering what that mask was for. | |
![]() |
![]() ah, wish i'd known you were short on the phone - coulda come down. the PATH closures are really killing my vibe rn |
Sat. 3/1/14 8:50pm
LovecraftDude888:
tomasz...can't stop regression! wTF is up with PATH? I haven't even been on one in ages myself. I used to enjoy it a lot more than the R train...or J. or any subway. | |
![]() |
![]() i think they're just closing Exchange Place and WTC at weekends to make post-Sandy repairs, but Exchange Place is the one i need. i suppose i could go to Grove St, but i'm new here and would surely get lost |

slugluv1313:
tomasz, if you walk east (towards the river) on Columbus Drive from the Grove Street PATH station, then make a right on to Washington Street, then a left on to Montgomery Street -- WFMU s/b right there, between Greene and Washington -- it is maybe a 15 minute walk? i hope that helps! |
