@clarke – yeah, if choosing 10$ a month on the WFMU pledge site, I can choose up to 12 shows (one for ever 10$) and will get 1 DJ premium – but it doesn't specify from which one it will be and you there's no choosing option. But whatever, I'll figure this out. Thanks again for the info!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:42am
Handy Haversack:

@zivilars: As I recall, you can add one show for each $10 pledged? And spread your support around. We were trying to figure it out, and Kate kept saying, "And [this show]! And [this show]!" Eventually, "We just love too much."

So, you know, the process is fraught. One ends up doing a lot of self-reflection!

my my first "concert" was Don & the Good Times at the Medford (Oregon) Armory.
Smelled like the pro wrestling venue it was!

@Handy My nieghbour regularly canoes across the Ottawa river to a city-owned island where he has built a summer camp for himself. I've been over a couple times and it is amazing, so if you, yourself, ever get up this way, hit me up and I'll arrange a visit.

Dang, Michael, say the word! (Once it's warm!) Last summer or the one before, I was trying to organize a paddling day for WFMU DJs and volunteers -- I can go back to that effort! But also available to take you and a smaller group out whenever you want!

Handy Haversack:

@GiO: You better believe I will!

@Michael: Kate and I are coming down to volunteer during Todd's show 3/14. Maybe we can chat about canoeing chances then.

Handy - that does sound amazing! Urban canoeing in NYC - WOW! And GIO - that also sounds amazing! Assuming I won't get scoffed at for bringing my kayak (as opposed to canoe) ;P

Love this Bangles album, and tune. I'm still waiting for the Go-Go/Bangles co-headlining tour. They've played on each other's albums & written songs together (& Vicki filled in for Charlotte on a Go-Gos tour once) so I keep thinking it's going to happen. And the Bangles now have their original bass player back (who's on the first EP).

@ Handy & @GIO - I am looking at purchasing a few acres w/ cabin on the river on a north-south route that takes you up to North Bay, just outside the western gate of Algonquin Park - has some small outbuildings I was dreaming of converting into bunkies and setting up a kind of way station for paddlers, trekkers, et al - keep you posted if I manage to pull it all together...

@Spinning Giant, that sounds SO lovely. Please do keep us posted! I have a lot of Canada exploring in my future, I fervently hope.

And the offer in NYC stands: just let me know!

@DJ Guin: That's remarkably close!

Great show and that Spanish Perfume in particular was a treat. For what it's worth, I think details about which toms are part of the Bangles sound is good and interesting info. I like learning details of the making of art.
