Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Yes, although my name is Anthony, I am indeed, "(mta) Tony" one of wfmu's longest continuous listeners, since Nov., '67. I remember the Dj (Vin Scelsa) and the first song I heard (the Rotary Connection Lp).

I first heard WFMU in 1967, as a teen in Nutley, NJ. I was so excited that I soon took the bus to East Orange to hang out. The amused staff let me. What did I first hear on WFMU? I forget! Maybe Silver Apples? Pearls Before Swine?

Hey brother, that's amazing! I was 14 and you were a teenager, too, but you took a bus to the college to meet the staff! OMG, what an exciting memory! At 14, I was too shy to do such a thing all the way from the Bronx, but you did it! Did you ever get to meet Vin? He's my idol. Glen Jones provides the closest voice and style to Vin, I've ever heard. Thanks for commenting, TDK60. I actually, believe it or not, have a TDK60 tape only several feet away from me in a box of cassettes. Amazing how small a world this is.

Thanks Marle. It is pretty neat to know that I was immediately aware of fmu's greatness from whence I first tuned in. I was blessed and my life was saved. I would do anything for fmu.
coelacanth∅:
i don't remember the first things i heard on wfmu...enough to get me revisiting often but not enough to make me totally give up on wnew-fm yet.
-not until 1980, when i heard "music of the morning of the world" (balanese gamelan) and i kept the dial there.
...(or maybe that was what i first heard in 1977? )

Music is a plane of wisdom, because music is a universal language, it is a language of honor, it is a noble precept, a gift of the Airy Kingdom, music is air, a universal existence … common to all the living.
Music is existence, the key to the universal language.

because something someone said intrigued me, and yes there is a heavy echo on David's voice. 'sounds like the rock & soul stream unfortunately often does.
but there's no echo via the vlc player - which is better audio quality anyway; so my usual.
...and, is David's image supposed to be animated? (i assume not)

I almost "lost it" yesterday (or was it the day before?) when the station went completely down during your show (or the next one). I was freakin' out 'cause it happened just as I attempted to pledge to your show and some others simultaneously after you thanked Handy Haversack for adopting you. I was so scared that fmu was losing many pledges! But I believe fmu listeners made-up for the loss. The station was completely silent for about 15 minutes. I wish I knew what caused it to happen. WFMU will never die - just needed to take a brief nap.

You will soon tire of trying to help others improve their own lives through fmu as the kids today don't have whatever it is that it takes to make the leap from what their peers are doing, into doing something unique and different. Kids are stuck to YouTube and whatever their "hip" friends are doing. The best way to promote fmu is by playing fmu whenever folks visit and invariably, they'll ask, What is it you're playing?" and THAT is when you turn them onto fmu.

in the autumn we (and another) sat and somehow the subject of image came up, -the clothes people wear; the way people present themselves and the ways it's perceived.
this friend, good as he is, is a bit arrogant in thinking he has an explanation for everything; and at some point said of me, who 85% of the time wears a wfmu t-shirt,
and you're the NPR guy".
!
okay.
i doubt he's listened to wfmu yet.

"There can be no doubt that at certain emotional moments most people want to make particular kinds of noises." And
"music is just music...there is no need to justify it, it is its own justification."
I know this avoids the math in music, which /is/ there. But I'm lousy at math. (Well, good enough at math to have written my check to WFMU without bankrupting my account. Hee.)

CDToaster aka (mta) Tony:
That's so sweet and thanks for saying it would be nice to hear an on-air interview with me. FMU Dj "Hutch" interviewed me once but I got a little tongue-tied when he asked me what about the fmu listening experience has changed the most for me. It was a difficult question for me to answer when the truth was that LITTLE had changed, fmu still had the best Dj's who played the best music from the best music library, Oh sure, there were plenty of technical improvements, but that wasn't the question. One of the best things about fmu for me was in how it has remained the same, so the interview went kinda south, especially since it was the first time for me to be on the radio! I was shaking I was so nervous! But honestly, the relaxed atmosphere and great music were always part of the main part of fmu's enjoyment for me. It was an impromptu interview while I was at the station visitng Stan the Man, about 12 uears agp. Anyone wanting to interview me is welcome to try.
