hi - so if you are an existing swag for life member, is it possible to get in the running for different show prize draws and get premiums without sending another payment on top of your existing pledge? or do you put a payment through mentioning you are already swag for life and get it refunded? (that’s just my guess)

just put the pledge in and click bill me later and it wont effect your swag for life as long as you dont put in cc info you went get charged

I recently heard a Finnish version of "Popcorn" that also had lyrics. Those lyrics didn't even have anything to do with popcorn. They were all moody and about drifting fog, which really sounds weird considering the poppy music...

Also, "Ace in the Hole" is superb, and makes for a great cynical newspaper movie double-bill with "Sweet Smell of Success".

Overall, I've always found the comments and overall nature of WFMU listeners on the board to be really pleasant. The couple of times I've subbed on (GTDR) WFMU shows, I found the commenters to be encouraging and fun to interact with. I wish we had that kind of connection with listeners at my regular station.
Maybe some WFMU shows/hours get less favorable listener/commenters but I've not seen a lot of it.

What Ken just said is one of my main arguments for supporting the station. It is not just that they're out in front in terms of incorporating web presence into the station's life -- it's that what they're doing is so elemental. Of *course* they're recording shows and archiving them. Of *course* they're video simul-webbing key programs. Of *course* they have a web playlist where listeners can follow what's playing. Don't all stations do that? No? *No* other stations do that?? Amazing.

It would be ironically funny if future generations thought that WFMU was the way all radio was programmed because our archives are so readily available (and all the crappy commercial stations don't have archives to compare us with).

I think the person who pledged from Estonia is maybe the owner of Murro, the smiling Dalmation who was our mascot last year.
