I had thought that Herb Alpert had a hit with "Music to Watch", but it's not mentioned in the song's Wikipedia page (link below). So I googled it, and it turns out that, for whatever reason, Alpert released it under the title "Music To Watch Girls Go By". Such a strange world, show biz.

See, there's my argument for WFMU right there. Where else can you find a community in which you can *take for granted* that most everyone around you is familiar with John Cale's "Paris 1919"? That's one of my favorite songs, and I can't imagine how I would ever have heard it if I had never been an FMU listener.

one of the collecting holy grails is buying the printed metal sheets that haven't been formed into the boxes yet.

TDK, I've got two. Regret to say they don't seem to be available in the swag store or the prize warehouse any more. Maybe they'll bring them back.

Parq, didn't know there'd been WFMU boxes! I don't pay close enough attention to WFMU Swag History.

And Dirty Thermos is a great band name!

Ken From Hyde Park:

Some lunch box company should offer a generic lunch box assembly and then sell kits where you wrap the outside and the thermos with custom prints. You can be Star Wars on Monday and David Bowie on Tuesday, for example. Sort of like all those cool cell phone covers for Nokia phones about twenty years ago.
