Listener comments!

6:14pm ?:

First prize up for grabs is Korean psyche / pop from Shin Joon Hyun and friends - get in the running now wiht a pledge!

6:15pm HotRod:

Yeahhhhhhhh! :)

6:18pm Detroit Mac:

None of that "World Cafe" bullshit - just real world grooves to laugh, dance and cry to. (pledged already but throwing another handfull of change Rob's way!)

6:26pm Caryn:

GM tends to be the abbreviation for Gambia. If someone pledged all the way from Gambia: fantastic!

6:26pm Ken:

Only $71 away from hitting 87%. Not that Im a number fetishist or anything.

6:32pm Caryn:

BTW, Rob, have you seen the 2011 documentary feature about Cesária Évora entitled "Mother Africa"?

6:38pm derp derp:

"we don't take underwriting, which we are allowed to do..." I get that WFMU doesn't, but are there licenses which prevent them from taking ads? being a charity?

6:42pm WFMU:

Our license as a non-commercial station does not allow us to run ads. However, underwriting, as you hear on NPR-type stations is legal but we chose not to accept it for fear that it would wreck our sound and undermine our independence. Too long a story for now but I can explain more by email if you wish!

6:43pm derp derp:

Thanks! derp derp

6:47pm Karen in Sleepy Hollow:

I'm upping my pledge to the next level to help out with the 20 minutes Terri T stole from Rob over the two weeks of the marathon.

6:53pm Irene:

I'm finishing out my Mouse Pledge on Rob's show in honor of all the great music he finds-- and for DJ Trouble who finds great music of a different type that I also love! Kudos to both of you!

6:54pm Carmichael:

Good luck, Rob! Pledge away for this great music, peoples!

6:56pm Andy:

Hooray! I'm a weiner!!! Hubbards, by the way, is in Nova Scotia, but the pledge page doesn't give province options for Canada...

7:03pm Doug S.:

One of my all-time favorites, too, Rob. Always blew me away that "Sweet Mother" sold more than 10 million copies. Wow!

7:11pm dc pat:

Iluvyuotroub

7:13pm cklequ:

Suddenly i'm in the mood for sea chicken

7:28pm seang:

no sleep till the goal is reached baby

8:04pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Just under 28 hours left until the marathon finishes up. Keep up the pledging, folks!

8:24pm mike noble in dc:

who's going to jouvert this year? i went to brooklyn jouvert last year and was 50 feet from a shooting and part of 2 stampedes.

8:24pm HotRod:

AMAZING MUSIC!! SUPPORT WFMU!!

8:25pm mike noble in dc:

this guy wrote a book i've always wanted to read: "Calypso From France to Trinidad: 800 Years of History"

8:39pm Ike:

Pledge now, you dirty hippies! Phone slaves like me are ready to take your call at 800-989-9368.

8:54pm Ken From Hyde Park:

88% - almost there!

8:54pm Doug S.:

Rob is essentially one Y3K ($1,000) pledge away from hitting his goal. One shining knight needs to charge forth to make it a shining night! You can pay it off monthly @ only $83 a month. That's less than most cable TV bills. Funds that come in as Y3K pledges pay for big, vital WFMU projects, like repairing transmitter equipment. It frees up money for our annual operating budget to cover the gazillion daily expenses like utility bills and bandwidth for all of our webstreaming.

We're looking for a magnificent Y3K pledge to thrill everyone at the station and the thousands tuned in right now.
GO FOR IT!
