Well into her fourth decade as an essential WFMU staffer, Irene has provided the station with excellence on so many levels: live music engineering, studio planning and wiring, thousands of hours of exquisite, superlative radio, and much more. Irene can be counted among the handful of people most important to the station in its storied history.

Make a pledge in honor of Irene's immeasurable contributions to WFMU! Say thank you to Irene here: pledge.wfmu.org...

Hi Stanley. How are you doing? | I wasn't here during the Punch Brothers but heard talk about them playing closely together, using few mikes. I've been playing open mikes with guitar & vocal mikes.

My impressions of the Marathon CD is... Amazing! Not sure I had it on my radar originally, a definite after hearing some of it today!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:20pm
Doug Schulkind:

One of hardest things to do well in freeform radio is for your show to have its own "sound." Given the freedom and encouragement to playing *anything* (as we are on the stream and WFMU), it is easy to let your show morph into a pleasant mush. But the DJs who can constantly add new artists, genres, colors and textures to their playlists, while maintaining an identifiable sound are a true wonder.

When you turn on the radio, you can pretty much peg that it's Irene's radio show you're hearing within the first five seconds, no matter what record she's spinning. It's remarkable and it's something I value deeply about Irene and her show.

This level of mastery is worth pledging for! Pledge here: pledge.wfmu.org...

This Yasmin Williams is great-i did hear it here (and buy it subsequently). Made me look hip...
My daughter's roommate went out to heara great guitarist, came up with a few hints and I realized it was Williams. I started streaming it on the Bandcamp amp, nice when you can convince the kids you're cool...
