There's some stuff that was top 40 and was ejected from the mainstream. Some stuff fell into a void that isn't covered by any common radio formats.

Just thought of a good category: Stuff that charted which hasn't been played on the radio for decades.

Yeah, it's such a difficult concept for for me to parse about British culture, when exactly "fanny" is obscene and when it's completely innocent. And I've been visiting there for decades. I really think they change it up on me each time then have a good laugh at my expense when I'm gone.

Jocelyn: "just" a flight attendant, fiddlesticks! I wouldn't last 10 minutes before trying to jettison someone. That's really cool about Joan Collins. And hand-shaking is a cultural thing. We're known for being out-of-control hand-shakers in the US.

@harryrush63: Oh, I can tell you're a good WFMU citizen. It's just that there are two different things at play with that unhappy person: One is that someone can (and should) dislike some DJs and even some choices the DJs they do like may make. But that doesn't at all mean these DJs are doing freeform wrong if someone don't like their choices. That smacks of arrogance and entitlement.
