FINAL WFMU Fundraiser Show With MC Trouble
Please Make a Pledge Here, Thanks!
Greetings dear listeners, thanks for your support of WFMU! Tonight for the first time ever my better half, scholar, teacher, author, open-water swimmer and musician Katie Gentile co-hosts. You may recall that Katie joins me twice a year for "radio ping-pong" sessions pitting my world musicky selections with her classic indie rock. Tonight we'll have a mini ping-pong incentive: Every time we hit a $500 plateau Katie gets to spin a track. Pledge for Katie's spins tonight!
If you pledge right here, as usual you can request the custom world music cd I've made for everyone who pledges $75 or more.
This year's cd is Accordions Rock the World!: Irresistible squeezebox-driven sounds from around the globe.
Of course, if my cd doesn't float your boat you can choose a different DJ's premium (cd or otherwise) instead. (Or if you make a one-time or swag-for-life pledge at higher levels you can choose multiple DJ premiums.) You can see the full list of DJ CD premiums at
https://wfmu.org/dj-premiums/.
I’m now in my fourth decade on WFMU! Who’d a thunk it? Perhaps you’ll consider celebrating my radio longevity / commitment / obsession to discovering, learning about and especially sharing far-flung music from around the globe by making a $10 per month (or more) sustaining Swag For Life pledge.
If you do, your cup shall runneth over with WFMU swag EVERY year!
This year for a pledge of $50 or more you get our spanking new Eyeclops T-Shirt designed by Robert Beatty plus a WFMU bumper sticker.
And for a $10 per month swag for life pledge you'll receive our brand new Totally Lyred! T-Shirt designed by Greg Harrison!
Bump your monthly Swag For Life pledge to #15 a month (or make a one-time $180 pledge or multiple pledges adding up to $180 or more) and you'll receive our WFMU Bandanarama! designed by Jethro Haynes That level also entitles you to the two new t-shirts, the sticker AND 3 DJ premiums! Bonus: You also can have a WFMU fixture re-named in your honor!
We love dollar a day Swag For Life pledgers - we call that a "Mouse of Today" pledge. And if you "drop a Mouse" on our show (a $365 one-time pledge or multiple pledges adding up to $365 or more also do the trick) you'll receive tons of swag! Including the WFMU Galactical Tour Tee designed by Tremendous Graphics! That level also entitles you to the two new t-shirts, sticker, the bandana AND 5 DJ premiums!
Bump your Mouse of Today commitment up to $41 per month (or make one-time pledge or pledges totalling $500) and you'll get a ten DJ premiums, the three shirts, bandana, sticker, a choice of two classic prizes from our warehouse, AND a WFMU Corduroy Cap designed by Brianna Harden!
But any amount you can pledge is most fabulous and wonderful. And it just takes a $20 pledge to get our fab new Chiller Die-Cut Bumper Sticker, designed by Olaf, discount admission to our Record Fair April 24 - 26 at Brooklyn Expo Center - AND you’ll get in the running for a prize drawing for one of the great LPs and CDs I’m giving away to lucky pledgers this evening!
A premium-cd-level pledge of $75 or more made during tonight's show also gets you into the running for our grand prize, the Matsuli Music Digital Megapack - free Bandcamp downloads of 16 albums of fabulous vintage South African music from Chris Albertyn and Matt Temple's label Matsuli Music.

Massive thanks to Matsuli Music and to Doug Schulkind, legendary founding DJ and director of WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio web stream (where he hosts Give the Drummer Some Friday mornings 9 to noon Garden State time) for arranging this week's Grand Prize!
What is SWAG FOR LIFE? It's WFMU's sustaining donor program - where we ask you to commit to a small monthly donation and as our thank-you for that commitment, you receive LOTS of swag. Sustaining pledgers are critical to the station's financial health and we are hoping many of you decide to become "Swag For Lifers" this month! It's all explained at https://wfmu.org/swagforlife/.
SEE THE SWAG (what you get at various pledge levels - new sticker, new t-shirts, and lots of other brand new goodies at higher levels) at https://wfmu.org/swag.
And whatever you can pledge to support our very special radio station is so very much appreciated. Thanks soooooo much!
