For pledges of $75 or more: ¡Magia Negra! A dip into the cool blue lagoon of Latin exotica. The ‘50s and ‘60s were exotica’s moment, the Tiki jazz and Polynesian pops of Martin Denny and Les Baxter selling by the million and radiating postwar America’s misconceptions of non-Western cultures right back at itself. While they’re rarely discussed, Latin musicians took naturally to exotica. From ambitious voodoo suites by popular orquestas to wiggy jungle jazz 45s by local congueros, a discography of mambos, cu-bop, boleros and chas would be rendered in a swirl of bird calls, vibraphones, flutes, percussion and nightclub atmospherics. ¡Magia Negra! is but a sample.

In 1991, I applied for a job at WFMU. At the time, station manager Ken Freedman was the station's only employee, and he was hiring a person to sort of run the office, direct the volunteers and do all the fundraising fulfillment and stuff. So I got an interview and went out to the station to meet Ken. He gave me a bunch of hypothetical situations to see how I would handle them.
One of the situations was this: The station is planning to give away a pizza-scented air freshener as a premium in the next marathon. How will you make this happen? I forget what I said or did, but I got the job.
And WFMU in fact DID give away a pizza-scented air freshener during the next marathon.
And now you know THE REST of the story.

synaesthesia...
Scraps, yeah! Cognitive dissonance for sure. I saw an interview once, not knowing what he would like, and he was sort of robotic. A sweet, kindly expression that never changed no matter how clueless his ideas seemed to be.
