Listener comments!

6:12pm davex:

This is definitely cross-culturally confusing.

6:28pm Mike Noble:

love the chang loo! she does a great version of "calypso blues" too.

6:28pm Becky from Ventura:

Hi Rob and Tamar!!! Tamar, I pledged earlier.. sad I couldn't force you to pronounce Hueneme anymore! Rob, this show is pure joy!

6:29pm Mike Noble:

speaking of which, I wish I could find some more east asian calypso. I only know grace chang.

6:33pm LovecraftDude888:

don't say flurry!

6:40pm Sigurdur:

flurry

6:42pm Mike Noble:

fleury

6:42pm LovecraftDude888:

fleur de lys anyway.....more flurries and more coming Monday woohoo in n y

6:47pm Will:

Always nice to have Tamar on board, I already pledged to Bill Mac, oh my do I hafta pledge again?!

6:50pm davex:

Hey, don't worry about the silence - some of us pledged beforehand online!

6:53pm LovecraftDude888:

where did Droll go? I notice he buggered off days ago..hrmm hope he's not becoming a mercenary in Kiev...

6:55pm LovecraftDude888:

I have one serious question guys: are there any grants available for non-commercial radio in USA, or is it very limited? (to nonexistent?) I'm really wondering

6:59pm LovecraftDude888:

PrometheusRadio.org sez community radio growing faster than corporate for sure...but I'm assuming that self-fund raising is the best way to do things. Grants are hard to get these days.

7:02pm LovecraftDude888:

ewww thought it was Thomas Dolby for a sec. there..earghhh

7:18pm Sigurdur:

abhsession

7:20pm davex:

Hi Sigurdur! How are things in Iceland?

7:20pm Gary M Ind.:

I'm happy to be logged in, but I dont have a heart next to my name (sorry)

7:21pm some other guy:

lovecraftdude, you've already answered your own question: the nice folks about prometheus know almost everything there is to know about LPFM and other non commercial radio, and they will be happy to provide you with information if you ask.

(Grants are potentially available for everything, so there's no quick WFMU chat answer to your question)

7:24pm Sigurdur:

Hi dave,well things are rather touristly , at least in the capital...... ps freedom 4 Scotland 2014

🌍

7:24pm Tamar:

We heart you all, symbol or no! Becky and Will and Davex, thanks for pledging earlier-- it all goes to the same place anyway. Bex, I know how to say it now, I do! But you moved anyway!

7:25pm barba yiorgi:

Holy moly! what a great version of Asa Branca! Was listening to Luis Gonzaga a little while ago Synchronicity!

7:27pm Mdurek:

Like this jam! Reminds me of American Irish picnics as a kid a little

7:28pm davex:

@Sigurdur: That's the price you pay for having such a beautiful country, I guess. I was there a long time ago and would to come back someday...

7:29pm MDurek:

Brazil Wow

7:30pm GaryfromIndiana.:

I'm encouraiging people in sms message, facebook and twitter to donate to WFMU. I ask them to relieve my web listening shame for being here without donating. please help if you can.

7:30pm Sigurdur:

your welcome

7:34pm Caryn:

Tamar, your second pronunciation of Kouvola was perfect!

7:37pm Mdurek:

LOL. You had to choose a one with amazing bass playing

7:38pm Caryn:

Honestly, you could just ignore the mentions of Toyota and groove to this.

7:43pm Mike Noble:

oh man, wish i hadn't won the afrobeat. this ilayaraja is my shit!

7:45pm davex:

@Tamar: Thank you!

7:46pm GaryfromIndiana:

I absolutely love Filipino music, even dahil sayo.. if you play any at all I love you,

7:50pm Mdurek:

@Caryn: Right?

7:57pm Caryn:

Dammit, I step out of the room for a bit and miss the bhangra!

7:57pm tomasz.:

oh damn, there was Ilaiyaraaja and i missed it? gahhhh

7:59pm GaryfromIndiana:

Indonesia and Malaysia sound so similar to Filipino, I enjoy them too. . I know teachers there, and some students who lived in USA for a time.

8:00pm Caryn:

BTW, the bhangra's name means "angler's bhangra", in case anyone's interested.

8:00pm LovecraftDude888:

someotherguy...thanks, yes I read up on it. there is money but no way is it gonna fund a whole station, etc. hrmm

8:01pm tomasz.:

Gary from Indiana - are you in Gary, Indiana? that would be too perfect

8:02pm GaryfromIndiana:

I wish. I often joked that they named a city after me. I';m oretty far from the Chicago area.

🌍

8:11pm Ken From Hyde Park:

If you get enough pledges, can you bring back quadraphonic?

8:15pm Ike:

Sorry I couldn't be there as a phone slave as originally scheduled! I hope the listeners are ponying up some nice wads of cash to help WFMU survive another year. Pledge pledge pledge!

8:25pm LovecraftDude888:

Mdurek you look like the aviator that became the second coming of Phil Manzanera!

8:26pm Skirkie in the phone room:

That's ok Ike. Duffy was on the list to be here and he didn't even show up.

8:33pm Ike:

Well, "Joe Ducky" has a good excuse -- he prob. has to rest up after getting paddled by Pseu's burlesque-ish dancer yesterday. That duck mask was kind of creepy.

8:35pm Skirkie in the phone room:

I was wondering what that mask was for.

8:42pm tomasz.:

ah, wish i'd known you were short on the phone - coulda come down. the PATH closures are really killing my vibe rn

8:50pm LovecraftDude888:

tomasz...can't stop regression! wTF is up with PATH? I haven't even been on one in ages myself. I used to enjoy it a lot more than the R train...or J. or any subway.

9:01pm tomasz.:

i think they're just closing Exchange Place and WTC at weekends to make
post-Sandy repairs, but Exchange Place is the one i need. i suppose i could
go to Grove St, but i'm new here and would surely get lost

🌍

9:13pm slugluv1313:

tomasz, if you walk east (towards the river) on Columbus Drive from the Grove Street PATH station, then make a right on to Washington Street, then a left on to Montgomery Street -- WFMU s/b right there, between Greene and Washington -- it is maybe a 15 minute walk? i hope that helps!
