Yeah, very sad about Hatch. He is a class A guy and did a great show. Hopefully he'll be back soon... I finally had the chance to meet him recently and he was really quite nice. They'll keep on rockin' without him I guess...

aw, hatch's was a good show. i feel bad for not listening for a while; he seemed really energised by the primaries going on last time i was tuning in. what happened?

Thanks for the love, folks. That logo is totally tongue-in-cheek, by the way. If anybody enjoyed our RNC Remix webstream in 2004, we've organized a sequel of sorts for Election Day:
WFMU's Electile Dysfunction 2008

election day should be good listenin'.
has anyone heard this yet, by the way?, radio freetown? i caught monday's, it was excellent. i'd never heard monica before her comeback, either, she's great.

They're about to do this World's Greatest Music Experts panel on Michael Shelley's show.

I used to hate the Michael Shelley + Rex block on Saturday...wtf was I thinking.

i think i need to change up my listening habits a little. are there any shows people are liking currently for like, newer stuff? i dug up an old hatch show for a lindstrom remix, beguilingly overlaid with the rantings of some crazy anti-obama ranter. i think i usually gravitate towards my comfort zones.

yeah good call. the last time i was listening to fabio week in week out was amid an even higher than usual concentration of cluster/rother/related reissues & oddities resurfacing, so i tend to think of it as being older stuff. but right on.

new kid Mike Van Laar has been doing some excellent shows. psych/kraut/post punk etc pulled from mutant sounds and the other usual suspects.
Joe McGasko does a great show too.

listening to FMU around 11am today, Pickle time Theater's Matty Gherkin plays Don Felder's "heavy Metal." I heard the same song on another show last week. Does any dedicated FMU phreak know if this is a recent meme for the station? seems improbable that two shows would play a forgotten FM chestnut coincidentally?
later Pseu Braun on her show was talking about a commenter on some FMU page or other: "Matthew Sweet's Yoga Farts." I have been laughing since then.
― veronica moser, Tuesday, 12 June 2018 20:39 (five years ago) link
There has been a whole thing around Don Felder lately, yes, possibly instigated by Station Mgr Ken.
Pseu roolz
― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 12 June 2018 20:57 (five years ago) link
He plays it every on every show at 11. I think it's the most favorited song.
― tokyo rosemary, Tuesday, 12 June 2018 21:00 (five years ago) link
Oops, added an extra every. I blame Don Felder.

From this spring's marathon? They're just now starting to get it sent out. I haven't gotten mine either.
5/24/18I Want My Swag!We are getting ready to begin the months-long process of mailing out swag to everyone who pledged to our 2018 Marathon (the more stuff you requested, the longer it will take). This year’s swag is worth the wait!

ah yes Friedman, you and yr FMU lackeys think yr funny? then play this, in which Felder repurposed his contributions to "Life in the Fast Lane"…

Probably a dumb question: does the station pay for the production of DJ premiums or do the DJs kick in production costs?
― a shomin-geki poster with some horror elements (WilliamC), Friday, 24 August 2018 15:51 (five years ago) link
I think the answer is both, depending on the dj -- if the dj can pitch in on production (Scharpling had family in the t-shirt biz, for instance), they do -- but Station Manager Ken would probably give you a clear answer.
