Greetings dear listeners! I hope you can pledge tonight to support WFMU!
If you pledge to my show right here, as usual I've made a custom conceptual world music cd for everyone who pledges $75 or more.
This year's custom cd is Transpacific Sound Paradise with Rob Weisberg presents No Borders! Unbounded Sounds From Around the World: A GPS-defying collection of fabulous tracks that can’t be walled in by genre or geography!.
Of course, if my cd doesn't float your boat you can choose a different DJ's premium (cd or otherwise) instead. You can see the full list of DJ CD premiums at
https://wfmu.org/dj-premiums/.
I’m now in my fourth decade on WFMU! Who’d a thunk it? And if you are in a good place economically, perhaps you’ll consider celebrating my radio longevity by making a $10 per month (or more) sustaining Swag For Life pledge.
If you do, your cup shall runneth over with WFMU swag EVERY year!
This year for a pledge of $50 or more you get our Japanese Funhouse T-shirt (designed by Yu Maeda)
And for a $10 per month swag for life pledge you’ll receive the WFMU | Radio T-shirt, designed by Greg Harrison!
We love dollar a day Swag For Life Pledgers - we call that a "Mouse of Today" pledge and if you "drop a Mouse" on our show (a $365 one-time pledge also does the trick) you'll receive tons of swag including the new Pulaski Zip Hoodie, designed by the late great Burt Schlatter!
But any amount you can pledge is most fabulous and wonderful. And it just takes a $20 pledge to get our fab new WFMU Minotaur Bumper Sticker, designed by Kirsten Ulve, discount admission to our Record Fair April 26 - 28 at Brooklyn Expo Center - AND you’ll get in the running for a prize drawing for one of the great LPs and CDs I’m giving away to lucky pledgers this evening!
A premium-cd-level pledge of $75 or more made during tonight's show also gets you into the running for our grand prize, Paris to Calcutta: Men and Music on the Desert Road: A four CD set plus 160 page book with cloth bound cover featuring 45 pages of photographs and 50 pages of detailed recording notes, published by Sublime Frequencies.
Paris to Calcutta is Deben Bhattacharya’s impressionistic account of a 1955 journey overland, in a converted milk delivery van, from France to India collecting and exploring music. Bhattacharya (1921–2001) was a field recordist, poet, filmmaker, musicologist and amateur ethnomusicologist. Highly influential, it would not be too bold a stretch to say that his work shaped how we listen to the world.
SEE THE SWAG (what you get at various pledge levels - new sticker, new t-shirts, and lots of other brand new goodies at higher levels) including the new WFMU winter knit hat designed by Akira Yonekawa (one of many gifts you get at the $15 per month level) at https://wfmu.org/swag.
SWAG FOR LIFE: WFMU's sustaining donor program - commit to a small monthly donation and you receive LOTS of swag. Sustaining pledgers are critical to the station's financial health and we are hoping many of you decide to become "Swag For Lifers" this month! It's all explained at https://wfmu.org/swagforlife/.
SPECIAL THIS YEAR: A WFMU LIVE MUSIC COMPILATION LP Transmissions From the Love Room - a dozen superb WFMU live performances on vinyl, including a live track by Khaira Arby performed on Transpacific Sound Paradise: Pledge $41 a month or more and it's yours. Info: https://wfmu.org/transmissions/
SPECIAL WFMU GRAND PRIZE TRIP CONTEST FOR ELIGIBLE GENEROUS PLEDGERS: The Boaty Weekender - Cruise from Barcelona to Sardinia with on-board performances by indie rock icons Bell and Sebastian, Yo La Tengo, Teenage Fanclub and many more. Pledge $83 a month or more and you'll be entered in the drawing. (Two winners will be chosen; includes airfare; each winner can bring one guest.)
Info: https://wfmu.org/boatyweekender/
But whatever you can pledge to support our very special radio station is so very much appreciated. Thanks soooooo much!
