News from the Freeform Front

WFMU is holding a 24-hour Marathon: Tues Nov 17th, 7pm - Wed Nov 18th, 7pm. We're setting aside our pride to interrupt our programming for 24 hours this Fall, so we can make it through the winter months. Our coffers are empty thanks to the combined evil forces of the recession, and falling over $100,000 short of our March Marathon goal. We hope you can help us out with a year-end donation! Check out our new fall swag and make a pledge right here or by using the brochure that is soon to arrive in your mailbox.

On Rob Weisberg's Transpacific Sound Paradise, Saturday, November 7th fom 6-9PM: Luaka Bop is thought of as David Byrne's label but an equally or perhaps more powerful force behind the operation is his partner Yale Evelev. Yale has dedicated his life to exploring music off-the-beaten path and getting it out there on disc. Luaka has finally reached drinking age and where better to celebrate than in swinging Jersey City? Tune in as Yale comes by to play and talk about some favorite releases from years gone by, and new things as well.

Now that the Cash for Clunkers program is but a distant memory, you can use your old car in the way it was intended - to benefit WFMU! WFMU is now accepting donations of used vehicles from any state in the U.S. and in any state of disrepair. It’s a great way to help your favorite freeform radio station, get a tax write-off for yourself, and most importantly, get that junker off your front lawn. Call 1-877-411-DONATE (1-877-411-3662) to arrange for vehicle pick-up (it’s free).
