the rix mix

The annual WFMU fund-raising marathon continues until March 12. The marathon features lots of special programming along with what could only be called live shenanigans, & unlike PBS, this programming does not repeat ad infinitum. & our station manager bears no resemblance to the suits at channel 13. WFMU practically throws "swag" at contributors, including DJ CD compilations of music &/or noise you used to believe you could live without (my fav last year was devoted entirely to the musical genre of cricket sounds). MP3 excerpts of DJ premiums are featured on WFMU's Beware of the Blog during their shows. Plus a barrage of "prize" chances more astonishing than Wildwood boardwalk on an August evening, & with considerably better odds in your favor. Oh yeah, there are very strange live cam broadcasts.
