A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Listener Robert:
It is indeed good to see the nuts & bolts. I very much appreciated when Pat Byrne left a camera on him while he spun discs, when there was extra time left on UStream after they showed video recorded the previous night. On radio it's different from DJing a live event. | |

Davee:
I have no friends |
![]() |
![]() I just cancelled Hulu+ and Filmstruck ($10 apiece, monthly) to push that money over to the F'mu. |
![]() |
![]() I see the monthly pledge like a subscription, $10/month is totally reasonable compared to music subscription services out there. |
![]() |
![]() @itzall, same, but @nytimes (they still get my crossword money though) |
![]() |
![]() @burrrrrr Very true!!! |
![]() |
![]() @Davee: hahaha I had the same thought about myself. |
![]() |
![]() Thanks for that @itzall ! |
![]() |
![]() De nada, Michéle. Logical. I enjoy WFMU EVERY DAY. Some of those streaming channels I let sit idle for days/weeks on end- why pay them? |
![]() |
![]() That's right - why Spotify when you can WFMUify? |
![]() |
![]() some really great new releases this week, Trouble |

![]() This song takes me back. |

Can someone tell me what the "listener number" is on the donation page? I keep trying to fill it out butttttt guess I"m putting the wrong thing in it? |
![]() |
![]() I rotate my online movie service subscriptions to make way for FMU, too. |
![]() |
![]() listener # is in your profile settings under "private info" |
![]() |
![]() good morning trouble and everyone!! |
![]() |
![]() @autumnyo2 Listener # is not required to pledge so don't worry about that and just continue the process. Let me know if you have any trouble. |
![]() |
![]() Is anybody needing a heart or radio icon who doesn't have one? The radio icon is supposed to appear if you are a monthly swag for lifer, and the heart icon is supposed to appear if you've made a one-time pledge since October 2. Let me know if anybody's are missing. |

Thu. 10/26/17 10:29am
autumnyo2:
Ah, danke! got it figured out! :) |
![]() |
![]() @autimnyo2 - The listener number field is not required - just skip over it. If it is requiring it, please email me the details of what device and OS and browser you are on: ken at wfmu dot org |
![]() |
![]() Ken, what is the icon for folks who have increased their SFL pledge? |
![]() |
![]() I did not know that Clay Pidgeon was a hired gun, but he is worth more than whatever he is being paid (unless it's a "livable wage" for NJ, in which case that's probably fair). In my opinion. |

Listener Robert:
See, good you mentioned that, Trouble. I knew youse guys did the station's laundry, and I knew you don't stock disposable towels or a liquid soap dispenser, but I never knew until now that YOU TAKE THE LAUNDRY HOME! I'd assumed there was a washer & dryer there. | |

This european song pairs well with some afternoon exercises in American social life. For this, train the upper lip by this method: 1) Stretch the upper lip down over the teeth. Say "Mo-o-o-o." 2) Hold the lip between the teeth and "smile" 3) Purse the lips, pull them downward and grin. 4) Let the lower jaw fall and try to touch your nose with your upper lip. Whatever the formula, nothing can be more tiresome than the tireless, cheerless pursuit of the "American Dream" | |

![]() Happy to see the Trouble/Michel combo. I only met one Woof-Mooer at Sheep & Wool last weekend, a woman named Jill. I did get a couple comments about my snazzy new SUW t-shirt and I responded "Tune in at 6PM each Friday" |
