Can I pledge to get Kenny G back? | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 12:11pm
Sean:
Kenny G will return as Kenneth Gorelick, or as Kenneth Goldsmith? One might be better than the other... | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 12:12pm

I love you Kurt, but you are wrong. It's their Duran Duran record. | |

|
Wed. 3/2/11 12:18pm
Cecile:
there's also a marathon Wisconsin. Or as Billy Jam would say marr-a-thon. | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 12:19pm
BodegaMan:
The Kurt + Scott McDowell combo seems like a good match. Unfortunately, I can't pledge today. my wife wants me to use a certain credit card that I don't have on me. | |

hamburger:
I'm currently smokin a pack a day but will do a -half- marathon in September :) | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 12:25pm
BodegaMan:
wait. so. it's possible to pledge on multiple shows and settle up at the end of the marathon? didn't quite get that but figured that's how people pledge on multiple multiple shows. | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 12:26pm
Chris in Madison:
Should be a "bill me later" option that would compile pledges post-marathon | |

Wed. 3/2/11 12:27pm
Scottm co-host:
Yes! You can pledge to multiple shows to get in the running for prizes then settle up after the marathon. | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 12:29pm

When pledging online, you CAN select "bill me later" when the payment page comes up. | |

Much pumped and punked love, frenchee. | |

|
Wed. 3/2/11 12:31pm

fred:
I would pledge right now but I have to stick to some old-fashioned values. I don't enjoy that much, but it's a way to give a fair chance to newcomers. I've been around too long, time for the new blood to get a chance. | |

|

herb:
(1) since you mention ALAN LICHT, he wrote a terrific short bk, "an emotional memoir of martha quinn" (2) i'm starting a "donate to wfmu but then add an extra 1%, if you can, plz" campaign. leaflets to be dropped from the sky. | |

Got it, Glenn! I posted a link on Ken's board to Gilligan/Stairway. Check it out when you get a chance. | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 1:06pm
That's right, LYNNWOOD, WA!:
Thank YOU, Kurt and Scott. Still doing calculations but I estimate myself to be 85.672% more interesting now. | |

Right now listening to this is getting someone pulled into a disciplinary meeting in an office with an uptight manager. | |

minnesota jeff:
Last year I was a prize winning super star, this year I am bombing out. I guess I will just have to compete against weird Europeans at 4:00am to improve my winning percentage. | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 1:37pm
glenn:
isn't weird europeans a tautology? (ha ha) | |

I first tuned into WFMU from their last marathon, and thought, well I only just tuned in, I'm not pledging, and now, I'm shootin' for a fragmenet mouse :D | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 1:55pm
DJ KG:
KKLUB!!! thanks for listening and chatting and pledging everyone! | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 1:57pm

Coffee Labs here in Tarrytown, NY, donated some coffee beans to the WFMU-a-thon this year! | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:02pm
That's right, LYNNWOOD, WA!:
@Hamburger, it feels fantastic to do! Good on you. | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:11pm
minnesota jeff:
I think about it like this - If WFMU was a Juke box hanging on the wall would a put a dollar into it every day to listen? Yes, yes I would. Also, when you give at a Mouse Pledge ($365) level you can pay in monthly installments spread out over the year, pulled right from your credit card. | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:13pm
pierre:
noooooooo don't say that !!!! | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:16pm
hamburger:
I'd want a refund from Kenny G's hour of pain tho :) Sorry Kenny G! (actually I'm not sorry) | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:16pm
minnesota jeff:
pierre - Don't say what? | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:17pm
That's right, LYNNWOOD, WA!:
In my opinion WFMU is THE radio station. | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:18pm
pierre:
Kurt was saying that nobody loed his show, and each time i listen to it, there is always people enjoying it. But i agree that on the comment board, its notvery clear what i was talking about. | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:19pm
pierre:
"loved" not "loed" - sorry | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:21pm
jesse:
I'm here to tell you that the prize account works. thanks Kurt for an excellent program! | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:25pm
minnesota jeff:
jesse - Good to know. I was getting nervous I was being segregated because of my prize account. I was FLUSH with prizes last year and I am bombing. Good to know its purely crummy luck and not sabotage. | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:26pm
DJ KG:
aw thanks pierre. i was just playin', tho. and thanks for the coffee! | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:30pm
pierre:
300$ in 30 minutes that make 10$ per minutes : GO ! | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:31pm
Danne D:
maybe you're suffering the dreaded sophomore slump minnesota jeff? :) | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:31pm
Danne D:
But I will say that the wee hours are a great way to up your batting average (and give props to the hearty overnight DJs as well) :) | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:32pm
Former Prize Vulture:
@MN Jeff, sabotage is rare. There are a few MCs who are anti-prize-vulture but not many. Maybe sometimes better to do it in increments of $20 or $25. Also increase in worldwide listeners may make it harder to win. | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:33pm
Danne D:
I can assure you they play straight up with the vultures :) I really felt like I had won enough last year (and just wanted to use the pledge to do a shout out) and won a couple of things by accident anyway :) | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:34pm
Danne D:
so FPV, your saying listener outsourcing to other countries is partially to blame ;) | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:35pm
Chris in Madison:
Last year my box o goodies included a copy of Gene Simmons' Family Jewels Season 3, signed by none other than Gene himself... funny thing is, I have no recollection of that ever being offered, much less bid upon by me... To quote Charlie Sheen: WINNING | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:38pm
minnesota jeff:
Chris - I remember that being a prize! I seem to recal it being one of the Sunday evening ladies prizes for some reason. | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:38pm
hamburger:
@Chris in Madison: Do I have to youtube Charlie Sheen - Bipolar to find that quote? | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:39pm
Chris in Madison:
This should be all you need: http://twitter.com/charliesheen | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:39pm
hamburger:
wonder how many WFMU DJs are turntablists | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:41pm
minnesota jeff:
hamburger - I would assume DJ Trent, DJ Rupture, DJ Marty McSorly and DJ Small Change would maybe have some chops in that realm. | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:42pm
Former Prize Vulture:
@Chris thats probbly a case of a pledge neglected for the intended drawing then slipping into the next drawing. Happens sometimes. I recommend u pledge immediately upon hearing about prize u want. Don't delay. Delaying increases chances of getting accidentally held back. Also better to pledge over phone. Quicker. | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:43pm
hamburger:
thanks Jeff! (not Andy Breckman? :'( ) | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:43pm
Chris in Madison:
@MN Jeff: Man... I'm not usually a Sunday lush, but perhaps it was a drunk pledge? No worries tho. It's since become a strangely prized possession :D (cc: FPV) | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:45pm
Chris in Madison:
@FPV: Yeah, at work it's a lot more discreet to hit up the online voting, but once I'm home the personal touch of a phone call is the preferred method. | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:49pm
Chris in Madison:
wait: voting? what am i talking about? all these madison political scuffles be messin up my mind! | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:51pm
Former Prize Vulture:
@Danne u never witnessd anti-vulture MC behavior?! Really?! No way :) But it seems less common lately i'll admit... i think used to happen a lot in late nite. @chris voting ha ha ha, well, u're voting with yr cash to keep free-form ALIVE | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 2:55pm
Chris in Madison:
@FPV: HA! By far the easiest vote I make each and every year! | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 3:00pm
hamburger:
ou this pledging talk is bringing out the gambler in me | |
|
Wed. 3/2/11 3:00pm
hamburger:
congrats Kurt and Scott! | |

Wow that joyful outburst makes me want to find religion! | |
