I have a box full of the old premiums I always mean to get out; I wonder if any of them have succumbed to CD-R rot.
― Chris L, Monday, 24 February 2020 17:51 (five years ago)
I used to get CD premiums but they mostly just got filed away unlistened-to. Now I just build up my t-shirt collection.

But I've been digging the station and the streams more than ever* this past year and will probably bump my swag for life number up a bit.
*even with the steady increase in DJs who play music I like but whose mic breaks are interminable bores
― Miami weisse (WmC), Monday, 24 February 2020 17:59 (five years ago)
Huge fan of the CD premiums and glad they are still offered. Many have become beloved comps for me. I think the oldest ones I have are from 2006 and still seem to play fine.
― turn the jawhatthefuckever on (One Eye Open), Monday, 24 February 2020 18:36 (five years ago)
some of the mic breaks are better than the records, or at least as good
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Monday, 24 February 2020 22:19 (five years ago)
This is true -- Rex in particular. But I'll go ahead and say it, I want to kick a hole in Matt Warwick.

I am not a fan of t-shirt premiums. The sizes available for women’s cut suck sooooo much.
― tokyo rosemary, Monday, 24 February 2020 22:34 (five years ago)
Rex's mic shtick is a joy forever (we were neighbors for many years)

I bumped my SFL number up by $5/month, though my income stream is at-risk enough that I shouldn't've.

I think next year I'm going to pledge to shows I don't listen to. "I hate what you do, but god bless you for doing it."

i've done that once or twice when i wanted the premium
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 5 March 2020 20:49 (five years ago)
Last year I allocated my donation to the seven 3 AM - 6 AM shows just to show them some love.
A couple of years ago, I gave my whole Mouse pledge to Hearty White for dropping the word "chinodontia" without explanation (an obscure reference to the show "Fernwood Tonight"). Kenneth Mars lives!
― Hideous Lump, Friday, 6 March 2020 05:21 (five years ago)
haha
saw Hearty White (in the audience) at Monty Hall last night; will get to one of his live annual shows eventually (maybe)

I pledged during Rex's show but the lady on the phone didn't ask for my card #, she said they'd "get in touch." Do they mail out invoices or something?

I guess it's a data-security thing? How tempting would it be to volunteer to work the phones under a fake name, collect a bunch of CC info and go hog wild.
― Miami weisse (WmC), Tuesday, 10 March 2020 16:14 (five years ago)
Other public radio stations do it, but maybe WFMU knows its volunteers too well...
― a man often referred to in the news media as the Duke of Saxony (tipsy mothra), Tuesday, 10 March 2020 16:16 (five years ago)
For the pledges that come in by phone, it's sometimes hard to hear even the basic info. (I've tried to do it with Tom Scharpling emceeing next to me.)

Ken's show today was killer, i recommend the archive

I was listening in the car on the way to the store when he announced the case of TP as one of the prizes, and had a good laugh when I came out of the store and it had changed into one roll of "like-new, factory reconditioned" TP.

not permissible under state's emergency standards.
I think the Hoof & Mouth Sinfonia should update its name this year... Laying 3-2 odds we'll hear Meat Puppets' "Corona."

i just heard - hopefully they can do it later in the year when its safer, maybe for the october fundraiser?
― turn the jawhatthefuckever on (One Eye Open), Sunday, 15 March 2020 00:00 (five years ago)
But that's only 5 months before the next 'real one'... and rehearsal time generally happens during the 2 weeks of the fundraiser; it'd be too hard I think.

Seeing on the Morbz RIP thread on ILE that there was some sort of WFMU radio tribute to him
― curmudgeon, Friday, 23 October 2020 14:42 (four years ago)
I had never listened to WFMU until yesterday but enjoyed the heck out of the programming today and can see myself tuning in on the regular going forward, another superb Dr. Morbius recommendation! Pledged in your memory.
