Such amazing good fortune! Now I sit in the parlor and listen to you. Best part of my week. Live long and prosper!

Also folks, keep in mind that WFMU's $1.2 million goal has not gone up in YEARS, but operating costs rise each year. So it is a modest goal that we MUST achieve!

Doonebury cartoon skewered Wounded Warrior as a fraud this week. Much better to support WFMU. No rapelling required.

God, this sounds great!
  ♥ Fri. 3/11/16 4:01pm Listener Robert:

Well, Joe B., it's been $1.2 M for just a FEW yrs. in my recollection. But Stn. Mgr. Fred Keenan did say financial conditions this yr. are the worst ever. Part of it is the absence of rent revenue from what's now Monty Hall.

How's this idea: hire out Monty Hall to dancercise classes. Seems it'd be great for that on the evenings you don't have use for it. And I'm sure dancercise makes $ !

If this is your usual time to head out of the office for the 4 pm coffee ahead of the commute, why not send a bit of that cash Sheila's way instead? She's your audio caffeine every Friday!
  ♥ Fri. 3/11/16 4:10pm Listener Robert:

In cx w my above remarks, that's one of the great things about WFMU -- not only a great operation in its own right, but also showing the way for others.

I can't wait to get my hands on this premium. Such amazing stuff! This is why I canceled cable so I could give that money to WFMU.

1966 and 1967 were close, very close. But 1968 was the peak.

Funny how citizenship works. I was born a US citizen in another country.

Wait...your show isn't named after Dead Or Alive's 1984 album?!?!? *hee!*

Lauper's scream singing duet with a skeleton is awesome!

Is the Oxford record gone? I called on time. Is there a way to not give my entire information if I did so already like 11 times? Just wondering.
Avatar Fri. 3/11/16 5:19pm Honeybear:

@ADL: yeah, it's complicated. There's great music from that region, though.

That production sounds like a '60s variety show. I love it so much.
  Fri. 3/11/16 5:33pm modchick65:

I'm already in love with this Pom Poms record.

The French Neil Diamond?
  Fri. 3/11/16 5:57pm P-90:

"Io la conoscevo bene" or "I Knew Her Well" is a must for Stefania Sandrelli fans (you know who you are!), but also HIGHLY recommended to anyone who's fascinated by the 60's and 60's pop music and visuals.

What fun! Have a sophisticated week while the marathon continues, Sheila.
