Hi Handy! Work was a bit hectic, lots of people asking questions, I walked around a lot, reminding players that they couldn't play doubles, had to pay online, couldn't hang out on the patio...had to kick people out who refused to pay online, etc. By the end of the shift, I'd sometimes loose it and tell them the whole operation would get shut down again if they refused to comply, etc. (that seemed to straighten them up)

STF was my gateway to FMU when I first heard it on a visit to NYC in 1996. It was aggravating not being able to listen to it back in England. I was so excited when the download podcast era started. Still got plenty of episodes from the Noughties on my old and thankfully still functional iPod.

I was listening in the late-90s/early aughts, turned on by my friend that moved to BK. Then I fell away for a while. Music of Mind Control is really what brought me back, and now I'm hear for all of it.

For me the icebreaker was Tony Coulter when I discovered it; the time-zone thing worked out perfectly in AZ. I remember being fascinated by his back-announcing happening over a bed of (i think) the sound of light traffic. Ambient car noises.

And that was Ten Million Years Ago. Weird.

In college (90s) when I was home for the holidays, I would record FMU on as many cassettes as I could. then in my college town a venue had a door man from nyc who loved FMU and i wouldn't have to pay a cover if i gave him cassettes of FMU. haha.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:05pm
Handy Haversack:

We listened in college 1993-1997. FMU, FDU, BAI. Then I left town for a while. It was in our regular radio rotation then for years after like 2005 but only the past three years did I process what the internet had meant for it. They never did breed Haversacks for their smarts.

Later, 97? 98? I discovered Fabio, Kenny G, and Diane Kamikaze online and surreptitiously listened at work. Sometimes I'd record through my RealPlayer at home and connect my mp3 player to the cassette adapter in my car.

first started listening in 1977 -- my first year in college
and ever since, WFMU has been this amazing presence/anchor in my life, but especially now, when, at best, we are all isolated (& i am hardly this social, extroverted person!) and at worst, stuck in dangerous situations (when the "shelter in place" protocols first hit, my first thoughts went to those in abusive situations, homeless people, those in jails, group homes, etc.) . . . again, grateful for this oasis of sanity in insane, unsure times . . .

thanks, Handy. first mash i did here at the homestead began fermenting before i even added yeast. both, yikes! and hmm, cool! didn't taste great distilled, though. such is the outcome for new distillers.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:27pm
Stanley:

@Bas - interesting. the bottle I saw was only a 5 yo and I thought, not enough time. But would love to try.
@chris - it's a bit more than that. For instance I've got my eyes on a bottle of Old Pulteney. The distillery is right on the coast and, not surprisingly, the sea air imparts a feint salty flavour to the spirit.

A few years back my missus bought me a ‘whisky weekend’ at the London Whisky School for my birthday. Although getting the first dram down at 10am was a challenge, it was a truly great weekend. As part of it, we had to blend and devise a marketing campaign for our own whisky. We made The GlenHackney’ and it went down very well with the class. Sadly, being a small batch run it has long since sold out. I still have an empty bottle or two though...

@Bas - I visited the Laphroaig distillery a few years back and the 'gimmick' they had was if you bought a bottle at the end of the tour you got a certificate granting you (apparantly legal) ownerhip of one square foot of peat bog on the island, complete with map to indicate where it was situated. The deal was that the distillery rented it back from you and would pay one dram a year for this. Only thing was that you had to turn up in person to collect your annual 'rent'.
