I am going to need WFMU to use this year's Marathon to raise enough money for some time-dilation technology so I have more hours in the week to do some archive diving!

New playlist software, addled apps for caucus tallies, the TV is telling me something about rescanning to prepare for some tech change in over-the-air broadcasts - which is all I get. It's reset madnesss..future shock!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:23pm
Passaic River Blues:

@Handy: word. I would welcome such technology. When you take the Drummer stream into account in addition to the main WFMU shows, it becomes daunting.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:23pm
Michael 98145:

all hail, archives indeed

@PRB, if everyone could be just a little less damn talented and interesting, it would really help me out!

John from Florham park:

Wonder how long it would take someone to listen to all the archives
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:41pm
Meghan:

I'm guessing it would be never ending since as you were listening you'd be missing out on shows going on!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:44pm
Parq:

When you take into account that Ichiban and Sheena's Jungle Room have live programming, it becomes almost impossible to be a thorough WFMU listener. At certain hours, you can have four different shows to choose from. Phew.
  12:44pm
John from Florham park:

@Meghan that’s what I was afraid someone would say, oh well
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:45pm
Handy Haversack:

Again, though, either magic or magic-adjacent tech will have to be employed. Hopefully a DJ premium this year!

John from Florham park:

@Parq there are a couple of shows I listen too on the alternate streams if there is a DJ who I would rather not listen too

I think the last time I heard anything on this album was on WRAS in Atlanta. I am one of the many who forgot. That's my bad. Sounds great.

I had this album that had that song on it- www.discogs.com...

Ken From Hyde Park:

The station should prepare for the future by putting a couple drone landing pads at the windows. You can get your chili dogs and root beer flown right to the studio.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:16pm

... or drone submarine ports, depending on the nature of the show.

@kenzo, if you are still here, the slider to scroll up and down the playlist is partly "underneath" the chat window and comments board -- and I can't seem to resize any elements. Not a critical thing, but a difference. Firefox, Windows.

Always loved this song

There really was something so special about this label back then. It never steered me wrong. It brought me to magical places in my mind

@Kenzo -- sure is! Still no way to manipulate the relative size of any elements (except the actual "Post comment!" free text field), but the scroll bar is unobscured.

Correct, there is no way to resize the sections.

@Meghan and βrian, now I'm wondering if all we were really doing in HS was following 4AD releases and using them to become cool. Well, slightly less uncool.

@Kenzo: Understood. Looks great. Your work makes a LOT of people very happy!
