Help is on the way, James! (well, as soon as the station sends out the swag...)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:57am Doug S.:

This last track playing on the stream is called "Seeking." An apt word for a radio show in the middle of a fund drive, no? Seeking pledges of thanks and support for BUSY DOING NOTHING. Busy Seeking Pledges!

Annie, did I read (on another playlist) that you are on the move?!?
  12:06pm annie:

  12:08pm ndbob:

Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:13pm Doug S.:

Asheville Annie! You will dig Asheville FM down there. Some nice radio! Jonathan Price does Tenor to Tabla on Wednesday evenings. He's a good citizen of the Drummersomeville.
  12:13pm Gary Mitchell:

no phone pledging for this show?
  12:15pm kat330:

Hi, Charlie and all! Heard everything from the beginning -- Nina, yes! -- but got to the keyboard just now. And I concur about Asheville being a fine destination.
  12:16pm listener james from westwood:

good thursday and charlie-day to all!
annie, a friend lives in west asheville. she's taken some amazing hikes in the surrounding area. gorgeous country down there and great rafting, too. safe travels!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:17pm Doug S.:

@Gary, no! All phone pledges are credited to the show on the air over on WFMU's main channel. To pledge specifically to Charlie's show, click on the pledge box atop this page. You can choose to pledge now, pay later. No rush!
  12:17pm listener james from westwood:

ndbob, did the blizzard warning ever turn into a full-on snow?
  12:18pm kat330:

Besides hiking there's a great "swimming hole" where you slide down a waterfall over smooth rocks to land in it.
  12:19pm annie:

james, i lived near the nantahala river for a while and it's a stunning region. like no other.. i'm happy to return there
  12:21pm listener james from westwood:

nobody beats the biz!
  12:21pm monica:

nobody beats the chaz!!
  12:22pm listener james from westwood:

even better. you'll surely enjoy the return!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:22pm charlie:

Hey, Monica, I'll meet you down at Albee Square Mall after the show...
  12:23pm monica:

word. steady lampin', chaz...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:24pm charlie:

Yes yes, y'all -- please use the pledge box on the top of the page -- phone pledges go to the on-air show. (It's all good though)
  12:25pm ndbob:

@James not here - we only had 4 inches of snow - places to the south of here had as much as 13
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:25pm Doug S.:

So, the real question is, will Station Manager Ken suspend Charlie for having an open Pepsi bottle near the control board: twitpic.com...
  12:26pm Gary Mitchell:

biz ----> pet. that's freeform!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:27pm Doug S.:

Over on the FMU mothership, Diane Kamikaze is playing an artist called "Fucked Up." If she were here on GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO she could announce it!
  12:27pm listener james from westwood:

that radio rebel, charlie. he's had it up to HERE w your freakin' RULES!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:34pm Doug S.:

Last time I announced a song title in Catalan, I sprained my tongue.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:35pm charlie:

I think I sprained mine too.
  12:38pm listener james from westwood:

this cosma cut sounds like a backing track for a joe frank episode. one of those good, somber, rainy-night ones.
  12:41pm peter:

Hi Charlie
isn't this debussy/satie somut like that?...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:42pm Doug S.:

Brian Cunningham HAS done some cool art for FMU. He very well could have done the t-shirt.

"It really is weird reading comments about yourself," says Doug Schulkind.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:50pm Doug S.:

Don't forget, Charlie's show is only two hours, we have just over an hour left to say THANKS to Charlie for his evocative electronic efforting!
  12:56pm Gary Mitchell:

with music like this, pakistan should be one of our closest allies
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:57pm Doug S.:

We got a ton more great prizes in need of winners! Make a pledge of $15 or more and get your name in the hat. More drawings coming up!
  12:57pm peter:

OK...now I hear why you've been enthusing about this Pakistani stuff!

Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:09pm Doug S.:

Since Ashley is Charlie cat, she is not eligible to win prize kibble. YOUR pets, of course, can be in the running. Would those with opposable thumbs please type pledges for them? Thanks!
  1:12pm listener james from westwood:

okapi will give your cat a glossy coat, healthy pink gums, and a lively demeanor.
  1:14pm ndbob:

I do love Okapis Doug.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:16pm Doug S.:

HALF-WAY TO THE GOAL! If you haven't pledged, now is a fine time to help out. If you have pledged, top off your gift with a smidge extra. Thanks!

Here are GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO, the number of pledges we bring in is as important as the quantity of dollars. It is important for WFMU to know that the stream has widespread support.

We are counting on each and every stream listener to support our efforts.

So far we have two prizes on the block with no one in the running. I'd say the odds are pretty good. Math teachers would say that odds are the null set.

We are only $265 away from the goal. Let's hit the goal and exceed it. One MOUSE PLEDGE will, I'm pretty damn sure, make the pledge widget dog's tail wag.

WAG THAT GOAL!

I think Brian just requested the Rascals. We would like to be GROOVIN on the GOOD LOVIN' of your pledges. They would make it A BEAUTIFUL MORNING (in the Pacific time zone).
  1:45pm Sun Bra:

This guy is a horrible story teller but at least he knows how to start a tale.

Now down to $190 to go to HIT THAT GOAL. For a $180 pledge, you get a gorgeous GLOBAL DOMINATION BAG along with all the other cool crap. Check it out:

Thank you so much for Python. I haven't heard that for a long time.

One pledge in, two prizes dangled. Grab one like low-hanging fruit. Just don't squeeze!

Eno worked a lot with Robert Fripp, Toyah's husband. I like them all :)

$175 from the goal! WE ARE ONE GLOBAL DOMINATION BAG AWAY FROM HAVING GLOBAL DOMINATION. IN THE BAG.
